Lutron Software Configuration

Continue the setup process by selecting the relevant equipment from the Lutron Lineup and starting configuration in the Object Manager app.

A. Required Components: HomeWorks QS/QSX Processor

The heart of the Lutron HomeWorks system is the QSX processor, which handles control and communication for all components. Ethernet connectivity allows communication with the Lutron Designer software, control from the Lutron App, integration with third-party systems, and communication between multiple processors. All processors on the project must be connected to a single network.

B. HVAC System Control Visualization

HVAC control through the Lutron system is achieved using any wall controller, including the Palladiom family of keypads and thermostats. Schedules and timeclock events can be created using the Lutron App. Palladiom thermostats are available in polymer, glass, and metal finishes, providing full control of the connected AC unit.

C. Software Configuration
  1. Connect your CoolAutomation gateway to the HomeWorks system.
  2. Add the CoolAutomation gateway interfaces to the HomeWorks database.
  3. Create HVAC zones and assign them to the CoolAutomation gateways in the HomeWorks Database.
  4. Connect the CoolAutomation gateways to the processor’s Ethernet ports.
  5. Assign setpoint, mode, and other HVAC commands to Lutron keypad buttons.
  6. Program schedules and additional automations.

Inverter Split / Multi Split
Inverter split / multi split HVAC systems consist of one or multiple air handlers and a single outdoor outdoor unit with an inverter compressor.
CoolAutomation integration device
CoolPlug & CooLinkHub
A CoolPlug is attached to each indoor unit, with up to 10 CoolPlugs connecting to a single CooLinkHub. The CooLinkHub then connects to your preferred home automation platform. CoolPlugs can communicate with a CooLinkHub either via wired or wireless connection.
