Considering moving to Frisco. I'm incredibly talented and I'm certain that I will find every buried treasure that gets posted on /r/sanfrancisco. Can I comfortably live in SF on that income?

What is this black metal piece mounted next to a residential toilet? There's a separate TP holder. The arms are 2.5 inches long and about .75 inches wide. Nothing moves. The flat sections of the arms have texture.

Advice on Lutron Aurora switches in newly purchased home - can't connect them to Hue app without resetting them, but not sure how I'll reconnect them to the lights if I do that

Tl;dr: new home has Lutron Aurora dimmers. I can't connect to them in the Hue app because double tapping them doesn't put them in pairing mode (or whatever it's called).

  1. Is there anything I can do other than reset them?
  2. I don't want to reset them because I don't want to have to set them back up with all the lights they're supposed to control, but is there any world where connecting without resetting would even help?

Longer version with more context:

I bought a house that has only smart switches. All of the lights are on Lutron Aurora dimmers. When the staging got removed, two Philips Hue Bridges and one Lutron Caseta hub were unplugged, and I've been unable to get any of the dimmers to work since.

  • I think that the Lutron Caseta hub is only for the Lutron blinds, which I have working, so AFAIK it's irrelevant.
  • When I try to add a Lutron Aurora through the Hue app, it tells me that double pressing the button should make it blink and allow connection. Double pressing the button does nothing, the LED turns on a single time just like when I single press it.
  • If I factory reset an Aurora, I can connect to it as expected. But some of the Auroras control 6-8 recessed ceiling lights, which aren't discoverable in the Hue app, so if I reset those Auroras I have no clue how to set it back up controlling those lights.
    • Is there any world where not resetting the Aurora is actually going to help? Or will they always lose connection to any lights when I set them up in the Hue app?
  • My best guess is that I can't connect to them by double tapping because they were previously set up to have some other action bound to double tapping.
  • If this is right, is there some alternative way to connect in this situation?

Open to any and all advice. I'll edit this post with some pictures in a minute but I don't think they'll provide much extra information.

Moving from the Castro to the center of the Sunset tomorrow (5/9), but 19th is being repaved this weekend - how would you plan to cross it in a U-Haul?
