Awkward protocols
Lutron has this "reinvent the wheel" design philosophy with the RA2 so, although the user interface is very nice, some things end up working worse than average. To use this app you specify separate telnet logins for the main repeater for each iPhone/iPad. Actually you have to reveal your password to your dealer/installer since Lutron does not release the main repeater programming software to homeowners. The static IP in the main repeater also can only be changed by the dealer because this is configured by the programming software, so you can't manage your own network without babysitting from your dealer. Lutron should have implemented a protocol that can share a login with multiple devices (not telnet) and allow the homeowner to enter logins and change static IP without the dealer involved. I got this working on a router with Tomato firmware so this will work across different types of routers. Note: you must configure one of the hardware keypads in the programming software in order to avoid a configuration error, even if the iPad/iPhone is your only keypad. Overall nice system but Lutron has to stop this "it's not good if it's not invented here" mentality in their software department.
