Problems adding new lutron caseta dimmer (self.homekit)

Getting frustrated with Lutron’s documentation and links to non-existing pages. I’be got lots of Caseta stuff in the house already but this new summer just won’t go with the flow. Switch and lights work fine. Wireless signal strong. I’ve even reset the switch. All I get though after the -0-second hold to go through the pairing process, is a slow-blinking top led. None of the support stuff covers this example.

I will say that this is the first switch to get installed on the second floor, and the hub is in the basement. Is it too far away? Is that a thing still (not sure if thread and all that is in play here.)

Thanks for the help.

edit: I suspect it is a range issue. My one Caseta hub is at the opposite end of the house. I have a repeater on order and will update this with results.

Not sure how to solve your issue, but Caesta is still on Clear Connect; their proprietary protocol which works well, but also isn't a mesh, so the distance from the basement to the second floor may play into this. Try moving the hub to the first floor and see if that helps.
