problems with relay blinds LUTRON

[zerou19]

 through which driver do you control the LUTRON relay blinds? all drivers that I tried work incorrectly, they are designed for two-way control of curtains

[Rob21]

I have the same issue. I haven't gotten around to trying this yet, but many people say it is promising.

Please let me know if you decide to give it a try.

Also, do you have any Lutron controlled fans in your project? My fans do not track properly either.

light only on dali,  on the relay, but it all works fine

I program them with phantom keypads. And using a driver with no slider control so they are just open or close or stop.

That’s a great idea. Does it track properly in c4? What’s the name of the driver?

[mujtaba.khokhar]

phantom keypads are made inside lutron software and then added in as a keypad inside c4. 

then there is custom programming required based on the "led" status of the phantom button. 

Works really well once setup

"And using a driver with no slider control so they are just open or close or stop" 
 which one Driver? 

I also used some generic IR driver for blind  without a slide, and through programming,  using a phantom keypad did and everything worked.  but with some update the stop event disappeared. and all drivers that I have not tried without a slide, either stop does not work, or the open / close / stop buttons sometimes become inactive

There’s a generic driver you can use. I use the relay blind driver but don’t bind the relays. The buttons become inactive as the state is not correctly mapped. For example if the blinds are operated from Lutron there technically there’s no feedback so the control4 doesn’t know what state they are in. Logic can be programmed in so the state of the blinds is reported back properly. 
 

hope that makes sense

Any tips on how to program this logic so I can have feedback in Control4 whee blind are controlled from Lutron keypad?

[Rob21]

I’m still struggling with this myself. Can someone sum up this programming logic please.

If you use relay controlled blinds with a separate remote and there isn’t a 2 way driver, then you can use a normal window contact to determine the state of the blind.

so if you issue a command using remote, the c4 system will know what state the blind is based on that contact and will present the right control button accordingly.
