Lutron Radio RA

Connection to a Radio RA system

Communications with Radio RA is done via the Radio RA RS232 interface. Use a full RS232 cable between Radio RA

and MLGW. Hardware flow control is used, so a 3-wire connection will not work.

Alternatively, you can use an Ethernet to RS232 interface and connect via MLGW network port. In this case, it is

important to configure the Ethernet to RS232 interface to use hardware flow control, 9600 bps, no parity, 1 stop bit.

The only connection setting available is the TCP port number and IP address in case connecting via Ethernet.

Defining Radio RA resources

On the device setup screen, you should identify all of the buttons with which you need to interact. This includes:

Buttons on Master Control units.

Phantom buttons on the Radio RA RS232 interface.

Use the monitoring facilities, or the display on the Radio RA interface, in order to identify individual buttons.

Note: Master Control buttons that you intend only for integration (and not for lighting control) have a special

behaviour. Until they have been activated once, they will not produce a radio event. Therefore, it may happen at first

that you don't find monitoring information for these buttons. Once you define them in the project (and Test the

configuration), MLGW activates these buttons.

Note: Bridged installations are not supported. All interaction will be related to the section where the RS232 interface

is located.

Radio RA events and commands

You can define events for button presses on Master Control buttons .

For commands, you can execute a button press on a Phantom button.

Also, you can set the LED state on a Master Control button. Note that setting the LED state will only work if that

button has not been assigned to lighting control. If the button has lighting assigned to it, then the LED will always

show the lighting scene status regardless of any state change command sent by MLGW. Use this feature to provide

feedback on master control keypads.

Lutron Homeworks QS / Radio RA2

This driver is used to communicate with both Lutron HomeWorks QS and Lutron Radio RA2 systems.
