Control-IT Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 We have Lutron RA2 Select running blackouts and shades in all rooms of a house where we are doing C4 lighting. Everything works fine if we program the shades to go to preset positions like open/close/50% etc on a button press. We have a button for day/night scenes where they press it and it works. They also want to have manual control to raise and lower. There are multiple shades and blackouts in every room so I assume we can use the blind group driver to group them. With lights and other things going on we don't have many buttons available so is it possible to program a single button to have push and hold action to raise and lower a group of blinds and also toggle. So if I push and hold the group of shades (or blackouts) in that room all lower. Release and they stop. Then if I push and hold again they will go the other way and open. Want it to work kind of like the native dimming controls on an APD. Is this possible and if so what would this programming look like? The other concern is that will the blind group driver keep the blinds in sync all the time? The concern is that since we aren't going to a preset position like 50% they may not always move evenly which of course would not make them happy.

lippavisual Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I’d create the wanted groups within Lutron so that it would provide easier programming in C4 just using the right group ID. personally, I’d use a single button that would select the group of shades that I want to control, then use the up/down arrows for raise/lower.

Control-IT Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 How would you "select" the group from the button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekki70 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 there will be an id with lutron for your groups, enter that into the id for the shades group and complete any other programming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
