Lutron Connect System Diagrams A typical connection within the home includes the mobile device establishing a Wi-Fi connection to a Wi- Fi router and the RadioRA 2 Main Repeater(s) or the HomeWorks QS processor(s) making a wired Ethernet connection to the same router. No Lutron devices should be plugged into the Internet port on your router. RadioRA 2 System Diagram HomeWorks QS System Diagram Rev. 9/16/2016 Page |5. Adding the Connect Bridge to the System Design Prior to using the Lutron Connect app, a Connect Bridge must be added to the system's programming database. Only one Connect Bridge is required per residence and it can be added to any new system as well as retrofitted onto any existing system (software must be upgraded to ).

6 The following sections demonstrate how to add a Connect Bridge to the RadioRA 2 and HomeWorks QS programming software. RadioRA 2 Programming Software Adding a Connect Bridge to a RadioRA 2 project is simple and can be done in one of two ways. New projects can have a Connect Bridge automatically added to the system, similar to how the Main repeater is automatically added, by simply checking the Automatically add Connect Bridge check box underneath the Create New Project button. Rev. 9/16/2016 Page |6. If the automatic adding feature was not used, or if the project was an existing project prior to the release of the Connect Bridge, a Bridge can be added at any point in time by going to any Room on the Room List and clicking on the big plus sign to add a new device location.

7 The Connect Bridge will be displayed on the list of Available Devices if it has not already been added to the design. Simply provide a Device Location and click on Done. Once the Connect Bridge has been added, use the Find Connect Bridge button to discover the Connect Bridge and set the appropriate network settings. Rev. 9/16/2016 Page |7. Initially, no Connect Bridge will be discovered. The button on the Connect Bridge must be pressed in order to place the device into discovery mode. Click on Find Connect Bridge to re-discover the device. After the Connect Bridge is discovered, adjust the network settings as required and save the settings to the Connect Bridge.

8 The final step, once the remaining parts of the database are configured, is to transfer the database prior to connecting the app to the system. For more information on networking or activating the Connect Bridge, refer to the Residential Systems Networking Guide in the Application Notes section of A myLutron login is required to view the document.

HomeWorks QS Programming Software Adding a Connect Bridge to a new or existing HomeWorks QS database design is possible at any point during the design phase by proceeding to the Design > Equipment section of the project design.

9 If the Connect Bridge has not been added to a toolbox yet, it must be added by going to Edit Toolbox in the upper-right corner of the screen. Add a Connect Bridge to the appropriate area of the Area Tree. The next step is to activate the Connect Bridge. Go to Activate > Processor and Connect Bridge to begin. Rev. 9/16/2016 Page |9. Initially, no Connect Bridge will be discovered. The button on the Connect Bridge must be pressed in order to place the device into discovery mode. Click on Start Activation to re-discover the device. The Connect Bridge will be discovered and its current IP address and MAC address displayed on the left- side of the screen.

10 Adjust the network settings as required and save the settings to the Connect Bridge. The final step, once the remaining parts of the database are configured, is to transfer the database prior to connecting the app to the system.
