Screen Innovations

Warning: Before starting integration, make sure the SDN system is fully set up, including Telnet usernames and passwords.

Integrating SIFI with Lutron HomeWorks QS

▼

1. Understand the Integration

• HomeWorks integrates with Groups of shade motors—not individual motors.
• If single shade control is needed, create a Group with just one motor.

2. Create Motor Groups

1. Go to the SDN tab → Groups tab
2. Click the ( + ) Plus icon to create a group
3. Add motors by right-clicking them and selecting the desired group name

3. Configure SIFI for HomeWorks QS

1. Go to the SIFI tab → Hover over Lutron menu → Click Setup
2. In the LUTRON column:
   • Right-click next to System and select HomeWorks QS
   • Enter the HomeWorks QS Processor IP in ADAPTOR_IP
   • Set Connection to Enable
   • Enter the Login and Password (from your Lutron config)
   • Click Restart to reboot the SIFI

4. Capture Keypad Devices

1. After restart, go to Menu (top right) → Settings → Lutron > Devices
2. Press a button on the Lutron keypad
3. Quickly click the magnifying glass icon in the ID column
   • If successful, the Device ID will appear
   • Rename it to match the keypad

Note: This ID identifies the keypad, not the button.

5. Assign Keypads & Buttons

1. Go to Lutron > Tables
2. In Lutron ID, right-click and select the keypad from the list
3. In Button, enter the button number (use the cheat sheet if needed)
4. Set the Action (usually "Press") and click the Add (↓) icon

6. Link to Motor Groups

1. In the Address column, add the group address:
   • Format: Group1 = 1.1.1, Group2 = 1.1.2, etc. (drop leading zeros)
2. In Device, select Motor
3. In Command, select the motor action (e.g., "UP", "DOWN")
4. In Value, optionally enter a percentage (e.g., 40 for 40% open)

7. Test the Integration

1. Press the programmed keypad buttons to test shade group movement
2. Confirm UP/DOWN commands work as expected
