lutron homeworks shades

Palladiom Bottom Rail

To accentuate the minimalist aesthetic of the Palladiom Shading System, Lutron has created the inventive Palladiom Bottom Rail. The design uses a groundbreaking method of clamping onto the fabric – regardless of the fabric thickness – to ensure that the hembar will always sit perfectly flat and perpendicular to the fabric plane. The subtle curve along the hembar face matches the roll diameter at the top of the shade. When the shade is fully open, the hembar disappears into the negative space behind the shade itself.

Design Options

End bracket.

Ideal for mounting on or above a window frame, the end bracket beautifully showcases each hand-finished surface. The arm and the foot of the bracket are the same depth, giving the overall aesthetic balance and grace. End brackets can be mounted to the wall or to the ceiling.

Center Bracket

Designed to structurally support two adjacent shades on a single bracket for a clean aesthetic that maintains a minimal light gap. Center brackets can be mounted to the wall or to the ceiling.

Jamb Bracket

The simplest of the three forms, the jamb bracket is designed to sit elegantly inside a window frame. The minimalist geometry extends the roller tube outward and into the wall, and the shade appears to float in midair.

Shade Bracket Finishes

Black Anodized

Clear Anodized

Satin Nickel

Satin Graphite

The bottom rail of the Palladiom Shading System features distinctions no other shading system can match. Made of extruded aluminum, this design required an entirely new manufacturing and finishing process, much of which is done by hand. Thanks to a rubber fabric-pinching spline, it sits parallel to the window sill, without tilting one way or the other – and when the shade is raised, the bottom rail is shaped to fit perfectly in the negative space behind the roll. When visible, the Palladiom Bottom Rail is only 3/8” high, making it an extremely minimal and elegant aesthetic.

*The Palladiom bottom rail is only available in Pure White, Clear Anodized, Black Anodized, and Satin Nickel.

Other Hembar Styles

Palladiom shades are available with a variety of other hembar options, from styles that are fabric-wrapped, to hembars that show off metal finishes. In addition, Palladiom shades also features Lutron’s patented Intelligent Hembar Alignment, which uses a two-part electronic control system to maintain synchronized hembar alignment within one-eighth of an inch during motion, and at all resting positions – in one room or in your entire home. Shown here: Half-wrap architectural bottom bar in Satin Nickel. End caps available to match all Palladiom shade bracket finishes.

The Palladiom keypad is a superbly crafted instrument that rises to the level of art, both inside and out. The buttons have a crisp, tactile feel. It’s equipped with Lutron’s exclusive Dynamic Backlight Management™, self-adjusting illumination that provides the right brightness for any ambient lighting conditions.

• Devices that have been added to the Lutron system will become available to the Crestron Home system.
• Changes to Lutron scene names and keypad names will not be overwritten.
• If a Lutron device was added to the Lutron system, the device can be added to the Crestron Home system.
• If a Lutron area was deleted from the Lutron system, the device and its programming is deleted from the Crestron Home system.
• If a device in a Lutron system is moved to different Lutron area, the existing device is deleted from the Crestron Home system and is added to the Crestron Home system as a new device.

Tap Rescan in the Lutron Area menu. The Crestron Home system scans the Lutron system for changes.

• Best Practices for Lutron Systems

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

• To discover the Lutron system, the Crestron Home processor and Lutron processor must be on the same network and use the same network switch.

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:

• Create Lutron button programming to control multiple Lutron lights, shades, or fans.
• Create raise or lower events for multiple Lutron lights, shades, or fans.
• 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.

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.

• The Crestron Home system executes the scene by commanding each Lutron load to go to the specified level, one load at a time.
• 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.
• 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 Button Actions .
• 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 .

Wired light load performance when controlling Lutron loads via Crestron Home keypad programming and Scenes:

• Loads are controlled in the order that the cabinet is wired.
• There is a 0.1 second delay between each load that is controlled.
• Twenty loads in a cabinet can be controlled in approximately 1 to 2 seconds.
• Loads in multiple cabinets are controlled one cabinet at a time. For example, if there are two cabinets installed, loads in Cabinet A are controlled and then loads in Cabinet B are controlled.

Wireless light load performance when controlling Lutron loads via Crestron Home keypad programming and Scenes:

• There is a small delay (about 0.8 seconds) between each light load that is controlled.
• Controlling five wireless lights will take about 4.5 seconds.
• Controlling 27 wireless lights will take about 17 seconds.

Wired and wireless shade load performance when controlling Lutron loads via Crestron Home keypad programming and Scenes:

• There is a small delay between each shade load that is controlled.
• When controlling 20 shades, there will be a 1- to 3-second lag between when the first shade starts moving and the last shade starts moving.
• To emulate a Lutron button and a function within Crestron Home (for example, a Crestron Home scene), create a sequence that recalls the Lutron button and the Crestron Home function. For details, refer to Sequence .

Lutron loads can be included in a Quick Action when Scene or Sequence is selected from the Mode drop-down menu.

• To control the Lutron load when Scene is selected from the drop-down menu, create a scene that includes the Lutron load and then select the scene when configuring the Quick Action. For details, refer to Create Scenes and Scene .
• To control a Lutron load when Sequence is selected from the drop-down menu, add the Lutron load to the sequence and then configure it. For details, refer to Sequence .
• Lutron shades will be excluded from Crestron Home shade groups. Lutron shade groups should be setup in the Lutron Designer software. Crestron Home will create shade loads for Lutron shade groups, and ungrouped shades.

Diagnostic and logging information is available for the Lutron loads. For details, refer to Diagnostics .

• The Devices tab in the Diagnostics menu will include all Lutron loads in the same manner as Crestron loads.
• The Lutron system does not report the online status of individual Lutron loads. The online and offline indicators reflect the state of the Lutron gateway, not the individual Lutron loads.

Unlike Crestron loads, the feedback received from Lutron loads will behave as follows:

• When a scene is recalled, Crestron Home receives and reports the feedback immediately. Keypads will not flash their LEDs or display a bargraph indicating that they loads are changing.
• For ramping operations (raise or lower buttons), the feedback will not update until the raise or lower operations is complete.

Thread: Homeworks QS controlling Somfy Shades Thread tools. Show Printable Version Search Thread   Advanced Search View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Hi, Has anyone used the Somfy Connect device made by Somfy to have Lutron keypads control Somfy shades? I'm asking especially now that QSE-NWK is no longer supported in QS and the only way to use the Somfy Connect is via RS232. The instructions (attached) that come with the device utilize the QSE-NWK! Thank you The last time I did it I used the VCRX CCO's and the Somfy CCI. Convergence Technologies Raleigh, North Carolina www.convergenceusa.com Thanks randyc but I'm looking for help specifically using the Somfy Connect device which does require the VRCX and Somfy CCI. Hello acculite, Thank you for your post. You can program the feedback commands that the Somfy Connect is looking for as an integration command set. Here is an app note that you can use a guide for how this is setup. http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocum...ntegration.pdf I wasn't able to get the Somfy Connect LTI to work with HWQS. But it did work fine for RA2 Main Repeater. Followed the app note above but wasn't able to get anything working using the Somfy Connect LTI. It seems like Somfy Connect LTI isn't able to send login information to HWQS, it can only monitor/receive data. My guess is when connecting directly to the serial port on a QSE-NWK and RA2 Main Repeater there's not a login prompt like there is when connecting via telnet. I ended up just bypassing the somfy connect altogether and used an Ethernet to RS-232 adapter to a Somfy URTSII. Then followed the directions for Scenario 4 in the app note. I still only had limited success with button presses using a HQRD-W6BRL keypad. My guess is the RF signal from the keypad was interfering with the RF signal for the somfy transmitter. Because if I used the Home + app and pressed the same button it worked every time. I was also able to mimic the button press in Terminal to get the shades to work. Thank you drechambers, I'm glad to see I'm not the only that was not able to get it to work. It's interesting how Somfy made and markets their own product that Lutron keypads can control their shades yet cannot provide instruction showing how to do it. All they provide is the document Blair S. provided and say contact Lutron if any issue. This document has nothing to do with the Somfy Connect and Lutron never intended it as specific instructions for any 3rd party integration just as a general option to try. Are you not able to use a Ethernet to RS232 adapter for Somfy to see HWQS button press feedback? If not then you should be able to send the feedback commands from a button press by programming them as a command set. Feel free to send us a support file and a "outboundconnections" command printout after replicating the issue. Failed experiences serialing QS to Somfy RTI If anyone knows the answer please post. The only option may be to integrate using Contact Closures (EIO) In September of 2023 using Somfy instructions I attempted to serial integrate QS to Somfy...unsuccessfully. Learned Somfy parts, materials and schematics have not been updated for 5 years. They did not realize NWKs were a thing of the past. Your attachment serials QS to Somfy via an NWK > LTI > URTS II. NWKs are not supported in QS or QSX software. LTI works with QS using a NWK so its a loser, too. Set it and the NWK aside. Digi ONe SP is used in place of NW. It converts QS ethernet to serial strings. Failure 1 QS > Digi One SP > LTI > URTSI II. DigiOne configured per Lutron Integration Scenario 4 using Somfy's suggested Baud Rate of 9600. Failure 2 QS > Digi One > URTSI II via RS485 direct. Baud Rate 9600. I'm out of ideas. Note: QS > Digi One communication was not problem. I bench tested with a Digi One to URTSII connection. Got nothing. Do you recall how the pinned out the connection between the two? In the QS integration protocol did you simply write 0101U 0101D (etc) or did you use hexidecimal? I think I may have to shift gears to contact closure control. Here is the answer. QS/QSX to Somfy using contact closures is easiest... if there are not a lot of motors becasue, one UTSI RF contact box requires a dry set for open, close, stop. Example: To control 3 zones of motors 3 URTSIs and 9 Lutron dry contacts are required. So, if a lot of zones then a DigiOne SP is the answer. The trick is in the connections and Digi settings. HOW TO: Use Lutron Integration Scenarios 2 and 4...with the following deviations DigOne Settings: Dip Switches All Down (OFF) Port profile: "Serial Bridging" Peer to Peer IP use the Lutron processor address Port = 2101 Serial Settings: Baud: 9600 None 8 None Advanced Network Settings: Auto Auto 30 60 10 5 30 Enable Keepalive 0 1 0 CONNECTION BETWEEN DigiOne and URTSI II Standard LAN cable Connect one end into URTSI Cut other end off and get a Female RS232-RS485 Adapt. Connect as follows. ( TRENDnet RS232 to RS422 RS485 Converter Adapter, Serial Port Data Converter, Black, TI-S100) Ground: Brown-Brown/White RXD-: Green/White RXD+ Green Lutron: When adding the Ethernet Device set the port to 2101 and do not set up a user or password. This works.
