Buttons and Gauge objects can be linked to a Lutron Homeworks system using the Lutron menu.
You must have a device set up in the project as a Lutron Processor . The default port for Lutron
processor telnet logins is 23. When adding the device, you need to enter the username & password
in the ‘initial command’ section of the device menu, shown below.
This is entered in the format <username><comma><password>, for example”ipad,1234” (without
the quotes). This username/password must be set up in Homeworks on the Ethernet link 9 telnet
login section.You also need to ensure that the ‘Dimmer Levels’ and ‘Keypad LEDs’ monitoring options are enabled
(and nothing else).
Select ‘Link to Lutron System’ & choose the Lutron processor from the device list. You then need to
enter the address of the keypad / button / channel you wish to simulate in the project. You must
enter the address (set up in Lutron Homeworks software) in the following format, with any leading
zeros – for example the address 1:4:3 should be entered in the software as [01:04:03]. In the case of a button, you enter the address of the keypad, then enter the button number on the right. In the case of an individual lighting circuit, you only need enter the address of the circuit. Once set up, the buttons & gauges will operate the lighting system & reflect the state of the keypad LEDs / lighting circuit levels. It is also possible to alter the individual channel levels by sliding your finger up and down the gauge. For Lutron buttons & gauges, it is important to specify the highlighted
image in order to see the feedback states.
