1 Lutron Smartbridge Pro Interface w/plug-in Power Pack
? 1 or more Lutron Caséta Wireless lighting or shade devices
Overview: Lutron Caséta devices communicate wirelessly with each other through a central interface called the Lutron Smartbridge.
This Smartbridge is also an IP Gateway that connects to the customer's router and ultimately to Lutron's Caséta Cloud services. Lutron
supplies iOS and Android smartphone apps that connect to their cloud services and provides the means for operation and setup of
the devices. Integration of Caséta to the ELK control requires the special "PRO" version of the Smartbridge (Smartbridge Pro). The
ELK-M1XSLU Lutron Interface handles the protocol conversion from ELK to Lutron and the ELK-IP232 creates the IP connectivity
with the Lutron Smartbridge.
Disclaimer: While Caséta does integrate with temperature solutions like "WiFi Thermostats", these devices are linked directly to
the Caséta Cloud services and are only controllable via the smartphone app. They do not communicate through the Smartbridge Pro
and therefore do not communicate with ELK. Please be aware that Caséta integration with ELK does not provide any ability for Elk
to interface with "WiFi" Thermostats.
Integration Device Capacity: Caséta can host up to 50 total wireless devices. The devices that are currently known to interface
with ELK are the Caséta lighting dimmers/switches, Caséta plug-in dimmers, and Caséta Window Blinds/Shades.
Integration Scene Capacity: Caséta offers up to 50 total scenes. These scenes are setup via the smartphone apps and stored in
the Smartbridge. The M1 integration communicates to the Smartbridge Pro to trigger these scenes or "buttons: as they are referred
to in the Lutron integration report.
Important: Do not attempt to integrate with Lutron Homeworks using any of Elk's other "standard" serial interface modules. ONLY
the ELK-M1XSLC Kit provides the hardware and software for near plug-and-play integration with Lutron Homeworks.

TABLE 2: Diagnostic LED Indicator
Slow blink (1/2 sec.) = Normal communication with M1.
Rapid flicker = Discovery Mode. The M1XSLU is synchronizing to collect current lighting data. This is automatically
performed upon reboot or power up.
No blink = No communication with M1. Check the wiring with the M1 and that the device has power.

Data Bus Terminating Jumper JP1 – This is engages a 120 Ohm resistor for terminating the M1 RS-485 Data Bus. See Data bus wiring instructions before use.
For Data Bus Type 5 Devices (Serial Expanders) the only valid Addresses are 1 thru 7 and therefore the maximum number of Type 5 Devices is 7.
2 - Equipment Setup
Please setup the Lutron equipment and devices and have them all working before proceeding.
2.1 Turn off the power to all equipment before making any wiring connections.
2.2 Wire the M1XSLU to the M1's RS485 data bus. Please follow the recommendations in the M1 Installation book and this manual
for wiring the 4 conductors of the data bus (+12V, A, B, and Neg) to the terminals on the M1XSLU. You should never attach
more than 2 homerun cables directly to the M1 Control! The preferred way to connect multiple bus devices to M1 is to either
daisy chain connect them along each homerun wire, or add a data bus hub device (Elk M1DBH or M1DBHR) in the panel that
will support connection of mulitple homerun cables.
2.3 Wire the IP232 to the M1XSLU using the supplied DB9F to DB9M Serial ribbon cable and DB9M to DB9F Null Modem adapter.
DO NOT use an extension or attempt to make this cord any longer! Be sure to mount the M1XSLU and IP232 in close proximity
to a wired Local Area Network (LAN) connection.
2.4 Wire the IP232 to the LAN using a CAT5 or CAT5 network cable (not supplied). The IP232 converts the serial topology of the
M1XSLU into Ethernet (IP) topology allowing integration over IP to the Lutron Caséta Smartbridge Pro interface.
2.5 Set the data bus address DIP switches on the M1XSLU to a value between 1 and 7 (see Table 1). Be sure the selected address
is not already being used by another Elk serial expander (type 5) device. Each switch has an OFF and On position (binary value
0 or 1). The combination of these switches represents a decimal value between 0 (all Off) and 15 (all On).
2.6 Wire the Smartbridge Pro to the LAN using a CAT5 or CAT6 network cable (not supplied). Power the Lutron device using it's
appropriate lower supply.
2.7 Wire the ELK-IP232 to the customer's LAN using a CAT5 or CAT6 network cable (not supplied). The IP232 will be powered by
the supplied P1216 plug-in AC to DC power supply.
2.8 If all wired connections are complete and secure it is now OK to apply power to the M1 Control which also supplies the power
to the M1XSLU.
2.9 Perform a M1 Bus Module Enrollment to enroll the M1XSLU into the M1 Control. This can be done from a M1 Keypad or the
ElkRP Software. From a Keypad access the Installer level programming and select Menu 01-Bus Module Enrollment. Press
the right arrow key to start the enrollment. When complete press the right arrow (edit) key to view the results. NOTE: The ELK-
M1XSLU shares the same bus type as other serial expanders and will display as a "SerialPExpdr T5" followed by a specic
address (Addr) number. Verify the address displayed matches the address selected in step 2.5 above.
Should it ever be necessary to replace a ELK-M1XSLU; set the replacement unit to the same address as the old unit and perform
the enrollment process. To permanently remove any data bus device perform the enrollment process AFTER disconnecting the
device. This will help avoid a "missing device" trouble condition.

3 - Conguring the IP232 IP Interface
Download and install the IP232 Conguration PC software utility from the ELK website (www.elkproducts.com). A copy of the IP232
instructions is packed with the M1XSLC kit with steps for defaulting, resetting, or updating the IP232 rmware if needed.
3.1 Be sure the IP232 is connected to the local area network and is powered by the P1216 plug-in power supply.
3.2 Launch the Conguration Utility and click ‘Search’ to nd the IP232 on the customer's local network. The Device Name (blank),
MAC Address, and IP Address should appear in the display.
192.168.0.251
IMPORTANT: The IP232 Conguration PC Software
must be Ver. 1.2.0 or higher.
The IP232 is factory set for DHCP (dynamic) mode whereby it expects to be assigned a non-permanent IP Address from the
client's router. DHCP makes it easy to add new devices to a network, however that address may change at some future time.
The IP232 can be also assigned to a permanent or STATIC Address. For purposes of interfacing with Lutron the IP232 does not
require a STATIC IP Address since it will always be making outgoing connections to the Lutron Smart Bridge Pro. Caution: If the
IP232 is unable to obtain a DHCP address from the customer's router, it will fall back to a STATIC IP Address of: 192.168.0.251.
This address might not be compatible with the customer's network, making it difcult for the Conguration Utility to discover
it. Should this occur the most likely problems could be: 1) The client's router is not assigning DHCP addresses, 2) The client's
router has reached its limit of available DHCP addresses it can assign, 3) The IP232 may have switched from DHCP mode to
STATIC mode. Consult the IP232 manual for steps on how to force the IP232 from STATIC to DHCP mode and vise versa.
The IP232, Lutron Smart Bridge Pro and the PC running the Conguration Utility must each have their own unique IP Address,
and each address must be compatible with the Network Subnet Mask and Gateway. For solutions on all of this seek additional
help from a knowledgeable network or IT professional.
3.3 Once the IP232 is found and displayed in the window, compare the MAC address against the MAC address printed on the label
attached to the IP232 to make certain it is the correct IP232.
3.4 Click to highlight the found device, then click "Congure" to launch the next screen.
Firmware version must be 1.0.18 or higher. See
IP232 Install manual for steps on updating.
Program the IP232 with a name such as: IP232
for Lutron.
Set the Serial Port settings to: Baud rate 9600,
Handshaking None.
Incoming TCP and Incoming UDP settings are not
important for this application.

Leave the IP232 set to DHCP mode since it is
only making an outbound connection to the Lutron
Smart Bridge Pro.
