Features

• Can be easily programmed with any Wi-Fi enabled iOS® or Android® compatible device using the free Lutron Vive app (available for download from the App Store or Google Play®) or by using web-based software.
• iOS® and Android® Apps – Helper apps act as an intermediary between Vive systems and the Lutron Cloud without the need of a permanent internet connection. It connects to hubs when on-site and passes data back and forth when the smart device reconnects to the Internet. Visit www.lutron.com/ VivePrivacyNotice for more about this data.

  • Requires Vive hub software 01.08 or higher.
• Timeclock Occupancy Sensor Settings Changes
  • Requires devices shipped after September 2017. Devices shipped prior to that date will be displayed as "unsupported" in the software UI. Allows timeclock events to change the behavior of occupancy settings based on time of day. For example, change the unoccupied level of corridors / hallways from 25% during the day, and off at night. The following settings can be changed:
  • Occupied Level
  • The level the lights go to when occupied. Changes are not applied immediately to currently occupied spaces, but will change the next time the space goes occupied to minimize distraction.
  • Unoccupied Level
  • The level the lights go to when unoccupied. Changes are applied immediately to spaces not currently occupied.
  • Enable/Disable Occupancy
  • Change whether devices will respond to the occupancy sensor.
  • Timeout of the sensors (requires FC-VSENSOR). LRF2 sensors still require this setting to be set on the sensor.

Various Vive system features are dependent on the hub for proper functionality. In addition, users and other maintainers will be forced to recommission the entire system in order to make simple changes or additions if the hub is not installed on-site as part of the commissioned system.

Warranty

• 1 year limited warranty. The customer can register the product to increase the warranty period from 1 year to 5 years. Please visit www.lutron.com/ TechnicalDocumentLibrary/369-119_Wallbox_ Warranty.pdf for warranty details.
