    20 years ago I used a java based automation framework to talk to these over serial.

    The basic idea is you can emulate any of the physical keypads, and the lutron programmer can add virtual keypads if that’s not enough.

    So what Id do is setup a room to lutron ID array and poll the controller for all the labels on the keypad for the room. Then display a virtual keypad with status for each button on a touchscreen. If the lutron programmer ever changed the scenes in a room it would update dynamically in my program as well.

    Bees knees, this is what I think of as smart lighting. All the wifi and zigbee stuff is just imitating.
