IFTTT is a website that can communicate between different devices and perform actions based on certain "states". It stands for If This Than That. If you have a Google Home and want it to communicate to a device which isn't supported, you can use IFTTT. You have to log into IFTTT, tell it your Google Home information, then the other devices information, and IFTTT will pass along the instructions. For instance, before Wemo devices were supported by Google Home, I used IFTTT to control the Wemo switch.

IFTTT is a bit of a hassle. It is an "if this then that" engine. You create an account using the email your Google Home is associated with, then search for Google Assistant. This should connect them.

From there, you need to connect your devices - such as lutron caseta. Best advice is to search the web for how to do this as there are tons of tutorials out there to help walk you through. Once you get the hang of it, it's not too hard, but can be time consuming if you have many devices to set up.

IFTTT is an automation service, where you connect multiple apps/services mostly from different developers/manufacturers and make them talk like they were one. Most basic example is, if you post a picture on Instagram, it should also be posted to Google Plus. With respect to Google Home, you can tell it to post something to Instagram using your voice.
