I'm wondering if someone can help me with controlling the RadioRa 2 with a MLGW. I've been successful in using the keypad buttons as triggers to activate Phillips Hue events by programming macros on MLGW. However, I can't seem to get B&O events (Such as "LIGHT" + "CIFFER_1") to control the RadioRa 2. I tried using a button on a RadioRa2 hybrid keypad as the command for the B&O event to trigger in a macro. But the macro is not doing anything.
Here is the Command I'm using to be triggered in the macro:
Lutron Homeworks QS / Radio Ra2: Kichen Keypad, Component 1 RELEASE/OPEN
(I've also tried PRESS/CLOSE to no avail.)
I solved the problem. You must first program the buttons using the Lutron computer software in order for the buttons to be activated by macros. I had been trying to use the default on/off top button of the hybrid keypad that controls the local load until the buttons have been programmed.
I've been able to set up macros that trigger "PRESS/CLOSE" actions on RadioRa 2 buttons, and they work great. It looks like much more can be done with the RadioRa 2 and MLGW combination, though! I would be interested in hearing examples of some of the possibilities.

mjmedlo-
Do you know how to use a RadioRa 2 occupancy sensor as a trigger for a MLGW/BLGW macro? I wanted to use the Lutron sensor to turn on a Philips Hue light via MLGW/BLGW. I can't seem to find a way to do this.

I found the answer in the Lutron Integration Protocol pdf. You enter the sensor as a device with the appropriate ID number. When building the macro, you use Component Number 2. "Press" is used for "Occupied" and "Release" is used for "Unoccupied." This worked perfectly.
The person at Lutron tech support was advising me to setup a phantom dimmer --which didn't work at all and wasn't the correct solution.
