Best Practices for Lutron Systems

Keep the following in mind when integrating Lutron systems into your Crestron Home system.

l To discover the Lutron system, the Crestron Home processor and Lutron processor must
be on the same network and use the same network switch.
l Use Lutron Designer Software to incorporate the desired functions in the Lutron system
and then import those items into Crestron Home either as scenes or via button emulation.
For example, use Lutron Designer Software to perform the following tasks:

o Create Lutron button programming to control multiple Lutron lights, shades, or
fans.

o Create raise or lower events for multiple Lutron lights, shades, or fans.
l To import Lutron loads and enable individual load control, the Lutron system must be
rescanned. Discovered loads are added to the Crestron Home room containing the Lutron
Area.
l Individual Lutron lights, shades, and fans can be added to a Crestron Home scene or
controlled using standard keypad programming. When creating scenes in the Crestron
Home app, consider the following:

NOTE: Individual load control is available on HomeWorks QS, HomeWorks QSX, and
Radio RA2 systems.

o The Crestron Home system executes the scene by commanding each Lutron load to
go to the specified level, one load at a time.
o Lutron loads can be directly selected during keypad programming. Lutron loads can
be selected for control when Lighting Load, Shade Load, Lighting Raise, Lighting
Lower, Shade Raise, Shade Lower, and Ceiling Fan are selected from the Mode
drop-down menu.
o Although not directly selectable, Lutron loads can be selected for control through
scene, quick actions (including sequences), room, and master selections when
programming keypads. Lutron loads will be controlled when Scene, Quick Actions,
Lighting Room, Shade Room, Master Raise, Master Lower are selected from the
Mode drop-down menu. For details, refer to Configure Keypads (on page 162).
o Lutron fans can be turned on when Lighting Load is selected from the Mode drop-
down menu. Set the On Speed for the fan in the fan settings screen. For details,
refer to Lutron Fan Settings (on page 796).
