Caseta driver

Regarding adding a Caseta Smart Bridge Pro. I would attach a screen capture of the driver screen, but I can't drop files or add files.

Having placed the integration report in the myServer data directory per a previous inquiry I added the device, it has the following characteristics:
Enabled = checked
Family = Lighting
ID = 1
Name = Lutron-sbp
Type = Controller
Model = Caseta
Device Address = blank
Room = Laundry

There is no IP address field. Is this expected?
What is the Device Address field used for? Should it be blank?
Should I be able to see the 73 Caseta devices connected to the Smart Bridge Pro? 

Regarding the Allonis Caseta documentation:
     "the 50 max that are supported per hub." - The hub device limit was expanded to 75 several years ago.
     "You can also add additional Lutron Controller device IP address that is connected to the Caseta device you would like to control." - I do not understand this sentence.

I will change the doc to 75.  thanx for the update.
You can add two Lutron hubs to myServer and control devices that are connected to both hubs for a total of 150 devices.  Since the user interface just shows either lists of devices to control, or a floorplan of devices to control, behind the scenes the system is programmed to know which lights are controlled to which hubs and the commands are sent to the appropriate hub / device.

Can you email me your caseta integration report? dave at allonis.com

Where is the documentation to show how to program the system "behind the scenes"? There is only 2 pages that I have been able to find on Lutron and the Caseta page just shows how to add the hub and finishes by saying "The supported commands are listed in the Commands drop down list.  Each command needs to be configured with the Pro hub that it is connected to." Some supported documents to show what this actually means would be helpful- especially how to be able to control the different lights that are on the system.

You will find that Allonis uses a "Family Command" structure across all drivers of same family. So, all lighting devices try to follow a Lighting|ID~On type of syntax that doesn't care if it's a Lutron Caseta, or a Homeworks or a Phillips Hue device. They all turn On the same way. So, look at the Command Builder for the lighting driver of your flavor and see the various commands that driver supports. You can run the commands there to test that your light is working and is configured properly.

Once you have done that, you can put those commands into Macros or Automation Events or on user interface buttons (using myDesigner).
