Lutron Homeworks
homeworks
Lutron is an American lighting control company. The Lutron Homeworks Series 4 & 8 systems are relatively old (~2003), and use RS-232 connections to communicate with home automation systems. The homeworks integration in Home Assistant is responsible for communicating with the main controller for these systems. Communication is through an ethernet to serial converter (NPort, for example).
