Some advice from Lutron

[Krobar]

Finally looked at getting my Lutron setup integrated earlier in the week and found a few things were not as expected so wanted to share.

My Setup:

• Lutron Energi Savr for LightingLutron
• Sivoia Blinds
• CI-NWK-E

• If using a Universal UCM it seems none of the inbuild Lutron command worked so it seems easier to leave the UCM Command Type option at none. 
  
• The NWK-E device requires a login if using Ethernet/Telnet which was awkward so it was easier to connect the RS232 to a Moxa RS232 to Ethernet adapter which removes the login requirement. 
  
• Test your command using telnet to the Moxa drive and when you know they work just convert to hex, add \"0D\" to the end and paste them into the Comfigurator.
  

Have a couple of question that maybe someone can help with:

1. What is the difference between using the Alarm to Device tab in the Universal UCM Vs Responses?
2. How can I set a response to a string received on the Universal UCM?

The builtin Lutron commands were based on the Grafik Eye products a long time agoPerhaps their products have a different command se

1. What is the difference between using the Alarm to Device tab in the Universal UCM Vs Responses?

Alarm to  device tab allows you to configure messages to be sent when alarm events occur. It should be easier than Responses, where you have to find the correct event with response. Both methods can be used

1. How can I set a response to a string received on the Universal UCM?

That is a bit complicated. You have to configure the properties correctly and work out the position of each data field that you want to capture.
The universal UCM nanual should have a detailed explanation download from
