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.
3. Tap “Next”.

7. For each device added, enter the total wattage of the load(s) in the
appropriate “Wattage (W)” field. This is required to obtain the most
accurate energy reporting via the Vive software or BACnet.
Note: The Vive software will automatically report energy usage
for fixtures with a PowPak fixture controller. Vive Integral Fixture
Controls may also report energy usage automatically. Check the
Vive Integral Fixture Control product specification for more details.
Note: The wattage for PowPak receptacle controllers cannot be
entered since the wattage can change over time based on what is
plugged into the receptacle.
Note: The energy savings reported is instantaneous only. If
historical energy reporting is needed, a premium hub with BACnet
should be configured to work with a BMS. The BMS will store and
report historical energy savings data.

Occupancy Grouping
Below are two main applications of occupancy grouping with
fixture sensors.
Note: Occupancy grouping is not used with Radio Powr Savr
occupancy / vacancy sensors because devices are assigned to the
sensors directly. Also, devices can be assigned to more than one
sensor at a time for rooms with multiple sensors.
Install
P/N 041571j
Group 1
• Group fixture sensors together to form larger occupancy groups
(e.g., open office). When fixture sensors are grouped, all the lights
will turn on and off together. If one sensor sees movement, all the
lights will turn on. Conversely, all the sensors in the group must be in
the unoccupied state before the lights turn off.
• Allow control of devices other than fixture controls via fixture sensor
(e.g., private office where a fixture sensor controls both the fixture
and the PowPak receptacle controller).
To the right is an example of occupancy grouping. The four fixtures
are grouped into two separate occupancy groups based on the
furniture layout. Each group operates independently with the
corresponding fixture sensors and all four fixtures are part of the
same area.
Control Receptacles / CCO Modules Using
Occupancy Grouping
Note: If the fixture occupancy sensors are set to work together,
then they will all work as one occupancy group in the room.
In this case, expand the Occupancy section to find the “Control
Receptacles / CCO Modules” to open a screen to add devices (like
receptacles) to the occupancy group. Tap “Show fixture sensors” to
list fixture sensors which are working together in the room.
Group 2
Note: “Control Receptacles / CCO Modules” link on the screen will
not display if a few devices without sensors (receptacles, CCO
Modules ) are already being controlled by fixture sensors. Instead,
the “Devices without sensors” row will display in place of it.

1. To create multiple occupancy groups using one or more fixture
sensors, first set sensors to work separately and then select “Control
receptacles using occupancy” if receptacles or CCO modules are
required to be grouped or “Create a group of lights” if only lights need
to be grouped with the fixture sensors.
2. To create an individual fixture sensor’s occupancy group when there
are wireless occupancy sensors working together in the room, first
set the sensors to work separately. If you want other devices to be
controlled by occupancy, then add them to any occupancy sensor.
Install
P/N 041571j
3. Follow the steps to select devices and fixture sensors to group. Now
all the fixture sensors in the group will work together to control the
grouped devices.
Note: In order to create an occupancy group, at least two
lights / devices and at least one fixture sensor must be added.

Occupancy Dependency
When adding an occupancy sensor to a room / area, you select which
devices that sensor will control. You can also select devices in other
room / areas to be controlled by that same sensor. These devices will
now become dependent on the occupancy status of this sensor. For
example, users working in private offices may want the lights to stay
ON in an adjacent hallway.
When an occupancy sensor in one room controls lights in another
room, each room still has its own occupancy programming
(occupied / unoccupied levels, occ-vac / vac-only) and sensor settings
(enable/disable, sensitivity, timeout). For instance, if a sensor in one
room is programmed to affect lights in a second room, the sensor will
have no effect on the second room if Occupancy is disabled in the
second room.
Install
P/N 041571j
Follow these steps while adding an Occupancy sensor to a room, to
make that sensor control lights in another room:
1. On the Select Devices screen, tap “Control other rooms/areas”.
Note: The “Control other rooms/area” option will be presented only
if other rooms already exist. If you add another room later, you can
come back to this screen and add it to this sensor.
2. Expand the room you wish to control and tap “+”.
Note: Depending on room configuration, your experience may vary.
3. If sensors are not already set to work together, you will be asked
whether to proceed, in which case you should tap “Set sensors to
work together”.
Note: Once occupancy sensors are set to work together, if any
sensor in that room detects motion, then all lights associated with
those sensors will turn on.

Daylighting
Daylight harvesting reduces the use of artificial lighting when daylight
is available in order to reduce energy consumption. This applies to
all operations, including all Pico button presses. Daylight calibration
is either done automatically (fixture sensor) or manually through
button presses (Radio Powr Savr daylight sensor). Details on
daylight sensor calibration are covered below.
Best Practices
1. Calibrate space first for best results.
• Perform calibration when the space is receiving adequate, indirect
sunlight. Do not calibrate when there is direct sunlight entering the
space or when there is low sunlight.
• Perform calibration after all of the furniture or equipment has been
moved into the space and after all painting has been completed.
• If a customer has specific requirements for illumination,
measurements using a light meter may be required to adjust the
light levels to match these requirements. After noting the required
level, take lux measurements with a light meter at work surface
height [typically 91.4 cm (3 ft) above finished floor] and directly
under the row of fixtures being tuned.
Install
P/N 041571j
or
2. If the brightness still does not meet expectations after calibration,
set the target brightness level to fine tune the light level in the
space.
Individual Fixture Sensors
• Fixture sensors will automatically perform daylight calibration the first
time the sensor goes to the unoccupied state. The fixture sensor is
both an occupancy and daylight sensor.
• A fixture sensor will only control the PowPak fixture controller that
it is attached to. Daylight information cannot be shared from one
individual fixture sensor to other devices.
• If a Radio Powr Savr daylight sensor is assigned to a PowPak
fixture controller, the daylight sensor function of the fixture sensor
will be disabled.
Continued on next page...
29
Daylighting (continued)
Radio Powr Savr Daylight Sensors
Radio Powr Savr daylight sensors must be calibrated manually.
Refer to these sections of the Radio Powr Savr daylight sensor
installation instructions: Calibration, Testing the Daylight Sensor, and
Tuning the System.
Note: You do not need to press a button on PowPak devices
because they will automatically enter calibration mode.
Instead of pressing and holding the “Cal” button on the sensor, you
can shine a green laser (available at hardware or office supply stores)
on the sensor two times to put it in calibration mode. This is the
same procedure used for association.
WARNING! Eye Injury and/or Blindness Hazard. May
!
Result in Serious Injury or Death. Avoid direct eye
exposure to laser beam.
• Use of laser pointer is NOT recommended for use with Lutron
products located near reflective surfaces.
• Do NOT aim or shine laser pointers at any person, pet, vehicle,
or aircraft directly, or through reflection by mirrors or other shiny
surfaces. Do NOT view the laser beam through binoculars,
magnifying glass, or other optical devices.
• Do NOT allow children to use laser pointers.
• Read and follow the laser pointer manufacturer’s instructions
on safe use. In the event of injury, get medical attention immediately.

Multi-row Daylighting
To the right is an example of multi-row daylighting using a Radio Powr
Savr sensor. To complete a similar setup, follow the steps below.
1. In the Vive software, assign all fixtures to the daylight sensor.
2. Manually adjust the devices for all rows to achieve the desired
foot-candle(fc) level.
Note: It may be a challenge to physically find where the PowPak
devices are located and manually adjust them to reach the desired
foot-candle level. To alleviate this challenge, you can assign a
2BRL Pico remote control to each PowPak device participating in
daylighting so that you can adjust the level remotely. After daylighting
has been calibrated, you can remove the 2BRL Pico remote controls
from the Vive system database.

5. If brightness still not does meet expectations after calibration, tap
“Target Brightness” to adjust the target brightness of the room.
These changes are live so that you can view the changes and fine
tune until your space is at your desired level. If the daylight in the
space is at a high level during adjustment, changes may not be
perceivable. You can adjust and save target brightness of all lights or
lights connected to a specific sensor.
Note: This option only displays if a wireless daylight
sensor has been added to the room.
6. Use the slider to Enable or Disable daylighting in that area.
7. Tap “Allow daylighting to turn off dimmable lights” to allow or
prevent dimmable lights to turn off due to daylighting. If “Yes” is
selected, the lights may turn off if enough daylighting is present
in the room. If “No” is selected, daylighting will not turn off the
dimmable lights, but it will still dim lights to the low-end trim level.
This setting will not affect switches and CCOs added in the room.
Note: The low-end trim level can be adjusted in Tuning.
Note: The dimmable lights which were turned OFF when the daylight
setting was changed, will only take effect when daylight in the space
is insufficient. These changes are not made in real time.

BACnet
BACnet is used for integration into a Building Management System
(BMS). For a list of control points available through BACnet and
details related to implementation of this standard in Vive systems,
refer to the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS).
The PICS can be found at www.lutron.com/vive and is available
in the hub via BACnet ID Report. BACnet is only available with
premium hubs (HJS-2 models). Integration is only allowed via wired
Ethernet.
Note: The hub uses BACnet/IP protocol to communicate. There are
other forms of BACnet communication (e.g., BACnet MSTP) but the
hub will not directly communicate to these other protocols. There
are third party devices that can convert one protocol to another.
Note: Before modifying any of the BACnet settings, coordinate
with the BMS integrator to ensure settings are applied that allow
integration into the BMS BACnet network.
Refer to the API integration section in this document to use API for
your building management system.

P/N 041571j
Settings
1. From the main dashboard in the Vive software, tap “More” and
then “BACnet”.
2. Enable or disable BACnet as desired. BACnet is disabled by default.
Note: The hub is a BACnet virtual router because it relays
commands between the physical network that the hub is connected
to and the virtual network of all the areas in the Vive system. Each
area in the Vive system is a virtual BACnet device.

3. “Network number” field
This is the virtual network number and can be modified as desired.
The hub will automatically take the network number of the physical
network it is connected to. The physical and virtual network
numbers must be different.
Note: There can be multiple BACnet hubs on the same network. By
default, the hubs will all have their virtual network numbers set to “1”
which will cause conflicts on the network. Set the virtual network
number of each hub to a unique number. The allowable range is
1 – 65534.
4. “Device Instance” field
This is the BACnet ID that the BMS will use to communicate with
the hub. All of the areas created via the hub will have IDs that are
generated sequentially after the “Device Instance”. The allowable
range is 0 – 4194302.
Maintain
P/N 041571j
Note: Each device must have a unique instance ID on a BACnet
network. A single hub can have hundreds of unique IDs (e.g.,
areas). It is critical to coordinate the IDs between the hubs and
any third party BACnet devices that may be on the same network.
Coordination with the BMS integrator is critical. Unless specific IDs
are supplied by the integrator, it is recommended to offset the base
“Device Instance” by 1000 for each hub on the network. This will
ensure there are no repeat IDs.
5. Tap “Edit room BACnet IDs” to change the area IDs. Use the “Device
Instance” ID as a base address. The allowable range is 0 – 4194302.

This is the IP address of the BACnet Broadcast Management
Device (BBMD). There are several BACnet commands that are
sent as broadcast messages and those are typically blocked by
equipment on IT networks. BBMDs are used to route broadcast
traffic from one BACnet network to another. The hub supports the
ability to register as a foreign device with a BBMD by entering the
IP address of the BBMD into this field.
Maintain

BACnet IDs for all of the BACnet devices in the Vive system. This will
generate two PDF documents:
a. A list of the specific BACnet IDs with the Areas / Rooms they are
assigned to.
b. The PICS statement which covers the types of information that
can be shared and the commands that can be sent to those
areas.
These documents should be sent to the BMS integrator.
Note: Each area in the Vive system is a virtual BACnet device.

Ethernet Settings
By default, the Ethernet is set up to use DHCP. As a result, the hub
will be expecting a DHCP server on the network to assign it an IP
address. Usually, an IT department will want to assign IP addresses
to the devices on the network. In this case, you will have to set a
static IP address on the hub. Follow the steps below.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the hub and a laptop or
desktop computer.
2. Connect the smart device to the Wi-Fi network of the hub.
Maintain
P/N 041571j

“Network & Connectivity”.
4. Tap “Ethernet” and modify the Ethernet settings as needed. To set a
static IP address, use the “DHCP” slider to disable DHCP. Enter the
settings provided to you by your IT department. If no settings were
supplied, use the following:
a. IP Address: 192.168.4.1
c. Gateway: 0.0.0.0
b. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
d. DNS Server 1: 8.8.8.8
