Initial Configuration
The Vive software is used to program the Vive wireless hub (known
as “hub” hereafter). A hub can be accessed via Lutron Vive app
or a web browser (Google ChromeT browser or Safari application
program recommended).
If the Vive app is used, follow the instructions in the app to create a
project and add hubs to it. Multiple users can be invited to a project
and can access and collaborate on a project from different devices.
Note: The hub can be programmed by connecting a smart device
(e.g., phone, tablet, or laptop) to the built-in Wi-FiR chip of the hub.
There is no requirement to connect to external or building Wi-Fi
networks.
Connect to the Hub (via browser)
1. Enable the Wi-Fi connection on the smart device.
Install
P/N 041571j
2. Navigate to the list of available networks. When in range of the hub,
you should see a network name similar to “Vive-017d20b9”. The text
that follows “Vive” in the network name is the serial number of the
hub. Connect to this network.
Set Up Wi-Fi Connection (via browser)
1. Open a web browser and type “vive.lutron.com” into the address
bar. An image of the hub will appear and the antenna on the hub
that you are connected to will flash white. If this is not the correct
hub, return to the list of Wi-Fi networks and choose a different
network. Once you have found the correct hub, tap “Yes, setup this
hub”.
Note: If you want to set up the hub via the app, follow instructions in
the app to set up a project and add hubs.
2. Tap the current name of the hub and rename it (e.g., Vive_floorOne).
This will be the Wi-Fi network name of this hub. A good descriptive
name will help you and others identify this hub later.
