Lutron Interface
Description
Functional Description
There are two CRESTRON Lutron Interface configurations available: ST-LT and
STI-LT. Configuration differences depend on which power pack is supplied. The
ST-LT includes a power pack for a 120V AC supply and the STI-LT includes a
power pack for 220V AC. For purposes of this Operations Guide, the term ST-LT is
used for either configuration.
The ST-LT is a device that permits the CRESTRON CRESNET II System or
SmarTouch STS to interface with a Lutron GRAFIK Eye Lighting System. Future
ST-LT production models shall permit an interface with the Lutron Homeworks
System. If the ST-LT is part of the CRESNET II System, use of the supplied power
pack is optional.
Physical Description
The ST-LT is housed in a black enclosure with silk-screened labels on the front and
rear panels. On the front of the unit there are seven LEDs for indicating the unit’s
current status. All connections are made on the back of the unit. Refer to the physical
views shown after this paragraph. There are four rubber feet on the base of the unit
for stability and to prevent slippage.

ST-LT Ports
A number of ports are provided on the back of the ST-LT. Each has a silk-screened
label. Refer to illustration and descriptions below.
ST-LT Ports
12 VDC .5 A
This DC power socket connector is used to supply external power via the supplied
500 mA power pack (1000 mA power pack for the STI-LT). If the ST-LT is part of
the CRESNET II System, use of the supplied power pack is optional.

CRESTRON
NET
These two 6-pin, 6-position RJ11 modular jacks are used to connect the ST-LT
module to either the SmarTouch STS or CRESNET II remote control system. When
the module is part of the CRESNET II system, power is provided via the NET
connection; the supplied power pack need not be attached. Two NET ports are
available so that network units can be daisy-chained together. Review the latest
revision of the Network Modular Cable Requirements (Doc. 5682).
NOTE: Most 4-conductor phone cables are wired in a crisscross fashion and are not
compatible with CRESTRON equipment.
If the power pack is attached when the ST-LT is part of the CRESNET II system,
power is drawn from the power pack. The module does not load the network power,
but the network power remains chained for additional network devices that are
connected.
RS-232
This 9-pin (DB9) connector is a Lutron compatible RS-232 interface for connections
to a PC running Lutron configuration and control software. This connector is
equivalent to Lutron’s GRX-AV-RS232.

specifications for CE marking.
Identity Code
Every equipment and user interface within the CRESNET II requires a unique
identity code (NET ID). These codes are recognized by a two-digit hexadecimal
number from 03 to FE. The NET ID of each unit must match an ID CODE specified
in the “NET.ID” statement of the CRESNET II SIMPL-I program in order for the
device to be addressed properly. The NET ID of each ST-LT has been factory set to
1C, but may be changed from the PC via STS/VTW software or the CRESNET II
Workshop.
Change NET ID via STS/VTW Software
Attach the ST-LT to SmarTouch STS or CRESNET II system (verify that the
STS/VTW software is running) and complete the following steps to change the NET
ID.
1. Disconnect all network devices from the CRESNET II network or
modular devices from the STS system, except for the one ST-LT that
needs to have its NET ID code changed.
2. Select ViewPort from the Tools pull-down menu to open the “Crestron

Programming
Using STS/VTW Software
NOTE: The following description assumes that the reader has some knowledge of
STS/VTW software. If not, please refer to the SmarTouch Tutorial that is available
from the STS/VTW Help menu.
Use STS/VTW software (version 10.7 or higher and STS database version
10.7.100.02 or later) to include the ST-LT in lieu of a Lutron GRAFIK Eye device
into a SmarTouch system. Once included, a command sequence or macro must be
enabled via software. The macro prompts which MAIN-UNIT is controlled and
dictates which actions are to be followed. The procedural steps that follow this
paragraph provide the general course necessary to include the ST-LT into a
SmarTouch system and build and assign a macro.
1. Select Open and Smartouch System from the File menu to open a
specific SmarTouch system. The software displays the “SmarTouch
Pro Editor” dialog box (formally known as “SmarTouch System
Manager”).
Alternatively, the ST-LT can
be selected by choosing
Lighting, Lutron, and
GRAPHIK Eye via ST-LT in
the appropriate fields.
2. Double click on the next available open device (DEVICE #) in the
Devices section of the dialog box. The software displays the “Device
Selection and Configuration” dialog box.
3. Define the device by selecting the Crestron Database, Lighting (as the
type), Crestron (as the manufacturer), and ST-LT (as the Model). For
this sample, replace DEVICE # with ST-LT in the [Name:] field. By
default, a Net ID of 1C is assigned. The dialog box should appear as
shown below; click OK.
Device Selection and Configuration Dialog Box
4. Once the ST-LT has been added to the SmarTouch system,
functionality must be assigned to buttons residing on a lighting page.

LIGHT-LUTRON-GEYERS232.
HINT: An alternate method
would be to address the
MAIN-UNIT # when the
button that opens the lighting
age is depressed. Buttons on
the lighting page can then be
assigned individual (SCENE
or ZONE) commands.
5. Open or create a lighting page with associated buttons. The STS
Wizard uses template projects, many of which offer typical lighting
pages. One such page is shown below. To use a page from the
template, copy it to the touchpanel project and customize as needed.
Refer to Copy and Paste from the STS/VTW Help menu for details.
Lighting Page Sample
6. While the lighting page is open, a macro must be defined to identify
the MAIN-UNIT # and assign specific SCENE or ZONE commands.
The MAIN-UNIT # assignment only needs to be sent once . If
controlling multiple MAIN-UNITS, it can also be included and sent
each time there is a SCENE or ZONE change. Select Create Macro
from the Control menu to open the “Macro Edit” dialog box.
7. Replace MACRO # in the [Name:] field with a relevant name such as
Zone1-Up. The dialog box should appear as shown below.

The sample ST-LT SIMPL program allows two scenes for the Grafik Eye; scene 2
on Main Unit 1 and scene 16 on Main Units 7 and 8. It also allows zone 3 to be
ramped up and down. The MV symbols are used to detect the release of the UP and
DOWN buttons which results in the transmission of the appropriate zone up/down
stop commands.
Workshop
The CRESNET II Workshop is designed to simplify the various operations needed
to program and run a CRESNET II control system. The series of screen displays
shown below are accessible from the “Define Network” option of the SIMPL-I
Menu in the CRESNET II Workshop. These screens are shown to clarify the means
of assigning signal names for the SIMPL program in the previous illustration.
ST-LT Workshop Screens (1 of 4)
The ST-LT definition supports a subset of the ST-COM definition; use A_IN,
A_OUT for serial string transmission as well as the regular “in” and “out” directions
for hard-coding serial data.

The ST-LT is defined as an “ST-COM, Port A”. Enter “GRAFIK” into the baud rate
field to allow the ST-LT to communicate with the Grafik Eye unit. The fields for
parity, data bits, and stop bits are not used and may be set to any value.
If Port B is defined to be 9600 N81, a RS-232 link to the Grafik Eye unit through the
RS-232 port on the back of the ST-LT is permitted. The RS-232 port is bidirectional;
data can be transmitted and received to/from the Grafik Eye. Typically, this port is
used for debugging only. A standard DB9 male/DB9 female straight-through cable is
used to go from this port to a PC.

Appendix: GRAFIK Eye Commands
NOTE: This entire appendix is a reprint of Lutron’s technical reference material.
Format for Commands
The RS-232 interface is commanded by ASCII strings in the following format.
: A 1 2 3 ... <CR>
Clea
Input
uffe
Notice that capital letters must be used for commands and there are no spaces
between characters. To execute more than one command, enter a space instead of the
carriage return and enter the next command. Any number of commands can be
entered at one time, as long as the input buffer is less than or equal to 60 characters.
The commands are executed in the order they are entered. When commands have
been received by the RS-232 interface, the number of commands executed is
reported by the unit to the RS-232 link. The format for this is a statement in the
following form.
<CR><LF>~3 OK<CR><LF>
If unrecognizable data is received, an error statement in the following form is
reported.
<CR><LF>~ERROR # 6 0 OK<CR><LF>
The first number indicates the type of error and the second number indicates the
number of commands executed before the error. When referring to GRAFIK Eye
Main Units as command parameters, GRAFIK Eye 1 refers to the GRAFIK Eye
Main Unit addressed as A1; GRAFIK Eye 2 refers to the GRAFIK Eye Main Unit
addressed as A2, and so on. Up to eight GRAFIK Eye Main Units can be on the
MUX link.

GRX-AV-RS232 Command List
The following is a list of commands which can be used with both the GRX-AVRS232 and the GRX-AV-RS232/ATC Interface Controls.
(A) Select Scene
This command selects desired scenes on the specified GRAFIK Eye Main Unit(s).
The first parameter is the scene and the second is the GRAFIK Eye Main Unit(s)
which selects that scene. If an invalid GRAFIK Eye number is encountered, the
command only affects the GRAFIK Eye Main Units listed before the invalid entry.
For scene 10 enter an “A”; for scene 11, enter a “B”, and so on up to scene 16. Scene
numbers outside the range of 0-G return an error statement.

Examples:
:A21<CR>
:AG45 A78<CR>
:A0123 A145 A38<CR>
Select scene 2 on GRAFIK Eye Main Unit 1.
Select scene 16 on GRAFIK Eye Main Units 4 and 5;
select scene 7 on GRAFIK Eye Main Unit 8.
Turn off GRAFIK Eye Main Units 1, 2 and 3; select
scene 1 on GRAFIK Eye Main Units 4 and 5; select
scene 3 on GRAFIK Eye Main Unit 8.
(SL) Scene Lock
When a GRAFIK Eye Main Unit is selected by this command, it is locked in the
current scene and does not allow lighting changes. To scene lock GRAFIK Eye Main
Units, enter a “+” for the first parameter; to release GRAFIK Eye Main Units from
scene lock, enter a “-”. For the second parameter, enter the GRAFIK Eye Main Units
that need to be selected or deselected. If the “+” or “-” is omitted, all GRAFIK Eye
Main Units are released from scene lock, except for those listed. Notice that all
GRAFIK Eye Main Units can be released manually from scene lock by switching
dip switch 2 from the ON to the OFF position. Also note that if another GRAFIK
Eye accessory is holding a Main Unit in scene lock, neither this command nor dip
switch 2 releases it.
Examples:
:SL<CR>
:SL2<CR>

(G) Request Scene Status
This command returns the current scene of all eight GRAFIK Eye Main Units on the
MUX link.
Example:
:G<CR>
The response is “~:ss” followed by a string of eight ASCII characters, one for each
GRAFIK Eye Main Unit. Each character represents the current status of each
GRAFIK Eye Main Unit. The scene is indicated by its number. Scene 10 is indicated
by an ‘A’; scene 11 is indicated by a ‘B’, and so on up to scene 16. A ‘0’ is returned
if the GRAFIK Eye Main Unit is OFF and an ‘M’ is returned if the GRAFIK Eye
Main Unit is missing or not responding. An ‘R’ is returned if a master raise is being
sent and an ‘L’ is returned if a unit is sending a master lower.

(SQ) Sequence
This command determines which GRAFIK Eye Main Units are sequenced (changed
from scene to scene with fade times set by GRAFIK Eye Main Units). Two
sequences can be selected, depending on the setting of dip switch 4. If dip switch 4
is OFF, the GRAFIK Eye Main Units selected by this command sequence through
scenes 1-4. If it is ON, they sequence through scenes 5-16. The command
parameters are the same as for scene lock. Notice that all GRAFIK Eye Main Units
can be taken manually out of sequence mode by switching dip switch 3 from the ON
to the OFF position. Also note that if another GRAFIK Eye accessory is sequencing
a Main Unit, neither this command nor dip switch 3 releases it.
Examples:
:SQ<CR>
:SQ2<CR>
:SQ+68<CR>
:SQ-3<CR>
:SQ-5678 SQ+1<CR>
Take all GRAFIK Eye Main Units out of sequence

Sequence GRAFIK Eye Main Unit 2 and take all
other GRAFIK Eye Main Units out of sequence
mode.
Sequence GRAFIK Eye Main Units 6 and 8 (in
addition to the units already selected).
Take GRAFIK Eye Main Unit 3 out of sequence
mode, while not affecting the status of other GRAFIK
Eye Main Units.
Take GRAFIK Eye Main Units 5, 6, 7, and 8 out of
sequence mode and sequence GRAFIK Eye Main
Unit 1, but do not change the status of 2, 3, and 4.
(ZL) Zone Lock
When a GRAFIK Eye Main Unit is selected by this command, the intensity of zone
levels preset in its memory cannot be altered. The level of the zone can be changed,
but preset memory is write-protected. The command parameters are the same as for
scene lock and sequence. Notice that all GRAFIK Eye Main Units can be released
manually from zone lock by switching dip switch 1 from the ON to the OFF
position. Also note that if another GRAFIK Eye accessory is holding a Main Unit in
zone lock, neither this command nor dip switch 1 releases it.
Examples:
:ZL<CR>
:ZL2<CR>
:ZL+68<CR>
:ZL-3<CR>

CRESTRON
(D) Zone Lower
This command causes the zones of the selected GRAFIK Eye Main Units to
gradually decrease in intensity. The first parameter is the GRAFIK Eye Main Unit
and the second is the zone(s) affected. Any zone numbers not listed are unaffected.
If the command is given for a GRAFIK Eye Main Unit and no zones are listed,
zones that are currently ramping down on that Main Unit stop. Invalid GRAFIK Eye
numbers return an error statement.
Examples:
:D11357<CR>
:D781 D32<CR>
:D5 D52 D18<CR>
:D1 D2 D3<CR>
Ramp down zones 1, 3, 5, and 7 of GRAFIK Eye
Main Unit 1.
Ramp down zones 8 and 1 of GRAFIK Eye Main Unit
7 and zone 2 of GRAFIK Eye Main Unit 3.
Stop all zones on GRAFIK Eye Main Unit 5 that are
currently ramping down; ramp down zone 2 of
GRAFIK Eye Main Unit 5 and zone 8 of GRAFIK Eye
Main Unit 1.
Stop ramping down all zones on GRAFIK Eye Main
Units 1, 2, and 3.
(E) Zone Lower Stop
This command cancels all zone lower commands. It is used as a short cut for sending
the D command with no zones and all GRAFIK Eye Main Units.
Example:
:E<CR>
Stop all zones on all GRAFIK Eye Main Units
that are ramping down.
(B) Zone Raise
This command causes the zone(s) listed on the given GRAFIK Eye Main Unit to
gradually increase in intensity and has the same parameters as zone lower. Zone
numbers not listed are unaffected. If the command is given for a GRAFIK Eye Main
Unit and no zones are listed, any zones on the GRAFIK Eye Main Unit that are
currently ramping up are stopped. Invalid GRAFIK Eye numbers return an error
statement.
Examples:
:B11357<CR>
:B781 B23<CR>
:B1 B2 B3<CR>
:B5 B52 B18<CR>
Ramp up zones 1, 3, 5, and 7 of GRAFIK Eye Main
Unit 1.
Ramp up zones 8 and 1 of GRAFIK Eye Main Unit 7
and zone 3 of GRAFIK Eye Main Unit 2.
Stop all zones on GRAFIK Eye Main Units 1, 2, and
3 that are currently ramping up.
Stop all zones on GRAFIK Eye Main Unit 5 that are
currently ramping up; ramp up zone 2 of GRAFIK
Eye Main Unit 5 and zone 8 of GRAFIK Eye Main
Unit 1.
Zone Raise Stop
This command cancels all zone raise commands. It is used as a short cut for sending
the B command listing no zones and all Main Units.

GRX-AV-RS232/ATC Command List
The following set of commands can be used only with the GRX-AV-RS232/ATC.
(ST) Set Time
This command sets the internal timeclock to the given time and date. The seconds
are reset to 00 when the command is issued. Notice that the timeclock can be set
directly through Lutron’s GRAFIK Eye Timeclock software. There are six command
parameters, with a space between each.
Parameter 1 Hour 0-23 (24 hour format)
Parameter 2 Minute 0-59
Parameter 3 Month 1-12
Parameter 4 Date 1-31
Parameter 5 Year 0-99
Parameter 6 Day of week 1-7
Examples:
:ST 2 14 7 30 71 6<CR>
:ST 17 4 10 31 95 3<CR>
Set time to 2:14 AM on July 30, 1971; the day of
week is set to Friday.
Set time to 5:04 PM on October 31, 1995; the day of
week is set to Tuesday.
(RT) Report Time
This command reports the current time and date of the internal timeclock. If this
command is entered on a GRX-AV-RS232 unit, an error condition is issued.
Example:
:RT<CR>
Report time
.
The response is “:rt” and then a string of numbers indicating the time and date in the
same order that it would be entered using the set time command.
Example of Responses:
<CR><LF>~:rt 2 14 7 30 71 6 1 OK<CR><LF>
<CR><LF>~:rt 17 4 10 31 95 3 1 OK<CR><LF>
The time is 2:14 AM on July 30,
1971; the day of week is Friday.
The time is 5:04 PM on October
31, 1995; the day of week is
Tuesday.
(SS) Select Schedule
This command determines which schedule the GRX-AV-RS232/ATC is running.
The GRX-AV-RS232/ATC executes the next event that was to occur in the schedule
selected. The schedules themselves can only be altered through Lutron’s GRAFIK
Eye Timeclock software. The execution of a schedule can be temporarily suspended
by turning dip switch 8 to the OFF position. There is only one parameter for this
command, a number which selects the schedule.
22 • Lutron Interface Operations Guide - Doc. 5694
CRESTRON
0 = no schedule active
1 = "weekday" schedule
2 = "weekend" schedule
3 = "special 1" schedule
4 = "special 2" schedule
Any other value causes no schedule to be run.
Examples:
:SS 4<CR>
:SS 0<CR>
Start special schedule 4.
Stop timeclock from executing events.
(RS) Report Schedule
This command tells the unit to report the schedule that it is currently running. If this
command is used on a GRX-AV-RS232 unit, an error condition is issued.
Example:
:RS<CR>
Report schedule
The response is “:rs” followed by a number indicating the schedule that is running.
0 = no schedule active
1 = "weekday" schedule
2 = "weekend" schedule
3 = "special 1" schedule
4 = "special 2" schedule
Example of Responses:
.
<CR><LF>~:rs 0 1 OK<CR><LF>
<CR><LF>~:rs 3 1 OK<CR><LF>
No schedule is running.
Special schedule 3 is running.
(RA) Report Sunrise/Sunset Times
This command tells the GRX-AV-RS232/ATC to report the time that the sun rises
and sets today, according to the unit’s internal astronomical timeclock. If this
command is used on a GRX-AV-RS232 unit, an error condition is issued.
Example:
:RA<CR>
Report sunrise/sunset times
.
The response is “:ra” followed by the sunrise time (hours then minutes) and the
sunset time (hours then minutes).
Example of Response:
<CR><LF>~:ra 5 34 17 21 1 OK<CR><LF>
The sunrise is at 5:34 AM; the
sunset is at 17:21 (5:21 PM)
(QS) Super Sequence Start
A super sequence is a command to the GRX-AV-RS232/ATC from a PC through
Lutron’s GRAFIK Eye Timeclock software (part number GRXTC-WIN). It provides
GRAFIK Eye Main Units with a user-selected set of scenes through which to
sequence. This command initiates the preprogrammed super sequence starting from
step 1. If a super sequence is not loaded into the unit, an error condition is issued. If
the super sequence is running when this command is issued, it jumps immediately to
step 1 and continues from that point.
Operations Guide - Doc. 5694 Lutron Interface • 23
CRESTRON
Example:
super sequence
:QS<CR>
Start
.
(QP) Super Sequence Pause
This command stops the preprogrammed super sequence that is running at its current
step. If a super sequence is not running, the command does nothing. If a super
sequence has not been loaded using the GRAFIK Eye Timeclock software, an error
statement is reported. The sequence can be restarted from this point by a super
sequence resume command.
Example:
super sequence
:QP<CR>
Stop
at the current step.
(QC) Super Sequence Resume
This command restarts a stopped super sequence by immediately selecting the next
step. If a super sequence is not loaded, an error statement is reported.
Example:
:QC<CR>
Continue
super sequence
from the current step.
