This article provides step-by-step instructions for a quicker, easier way to add devices using the Lutron mobile app. 

 

 

Before You Begin

  • You must be a certified dealer of the system type to which you add devices. If you are unsure if you are certified to install Radio RA3 / HomeWorks QSX, contact your local Lutron Representative.
  • Ensure the processor and mobile device are online and able to communicate with each other.
  • Confirm you have not exceeded the system's device/zone limits. Reference the design and activate tabs in Lutron Designer for your system's specific device limits.

Adding a Sunnata Device

1. Sign in to the Lutron app as a Professional using your myLutron account.

 

2. Select RadioRA 3 / HomeWorks / Athena.

 

3. Select the correct Place from the list of available Places. If you have a multi-system Place, select the System you are working on.

 

4. Go to Settings, then select Add/Activate Devices.

 

Note: The Add/Activate Devices option is only available in Pro Installer Mode

 

 

5. Select the area or room you are adding the device into.

 

Note: Devices can only be added to areas that have no child areas.

 

 

6. Select Plus (+) at the bottom-right corner of the screen.

 

 

7. Choose the type of device being added. If the device is not listed on this screen it must be added from the Lutron Designer software.

 

 

8. Enter the relevant information about the device being added. 

 

Note: Device or Zone names have the following requirements:

  • Must be between 1 and 50 characters.
  • Can not include backslashes, quotation marks, or emojis.
  • Can not be duplicates of other names in the same area.

 

    

 

        • Device Name: Name for the physical device installed (e.g. the dimmer, switch, or keypad).

        Common device names describe the location of the wallbox and device, like “Kitchen Entryway” or “Front Door Keypad”.

         

        • Zone Name (if applicable): Name of the zone controlled by the newly added device.

        Zone names only apply to devices physically wired to a load (e.g. a dimmer, switch, or hybrid keypad). Common zone names describe what is being controlled by the device, like “Chandelier”, “Sconces”, or “Exhaust Fan”.

         

        • Processor (if applicable): The system's processor where the new device will be added. This drop-down is only shown in systems with multiple processors. 

        Lutron recommends selecting the processor nearest to the installed device.

         

        • Load Type (if applicable): The type of load being controlled by the newly added device.
          • LED Reverse Phase
          • LED Forward Phase
          • Magnetic Low Voltage (MLV)
          • Electric Low Voltage (ELV)
          • Incandescent/Halogen

         

        Load type is only applicable for devices that are physically wired to a load (e.g. a dimmer, switch, or hybrid keypad). Check the load and fixture packaging carefully before choosing the load type.

        Note: For previously added devices, all load type changes must be made through the Lutron Designer software.

         

         

        9. Select Add to finish adding the device.

         

         

         

        Activating a Sunnata Device

        The new device must be installed according to the instructions provided with that specific device and by any applicable local, state, or national codes. Newly added devices will appear in the area they were added to in the Lutron app.

         

        Follow the RA3 Clear Connect Type X Activation Guide for more details on how to activate a device.

         

         

         

        Syncing Changes

        To sync changes from the Lutron app into Lutron Designer, open the project in Designer and complete one of the following:

         

        1. Select Tools then Sync App Edits, or...
        2. From the transfer tab select Start Transfer. If changes were made by the Lutron app, a pop-up will appear asking if you want to sync them. Click Yes. 

         

        Lutron Designer will detect any edits made in the Lutron app.
