HomeWorks is a versatile, powerful, and flexible integrated lighting control system for residential applica-tions. Its unique design makes it easily expandable toadditional areas in the home at any time, and itsdecentralized intelligence allows simultaneous remoteand local operation of dimmers and switches, usingattractive keypads and controls.

HomeWorks provides convenient operation of alllights and devices connected to the system from anymaster keypad within the home. In addition, combina-tions of lights and devices may be assigned to individ-ual keypad buttons, eliminating unsightly gangs of multiple wall controls for a clean, elegant look in livingspaces. Master On/Off controls are also available, providing whole-house operation and security from any keypad location.

System Overview

For increased functionality, HomeWorks accepts commands from home security systems, time clocks,photocells, and occupancy sensors. It can also be controlled from personal computers using a standardRS-232 port, or from any telephone, using customizedvoice messages.

All HomeWorks keypads, dimmers and switches areergonomically designed, with single buttons or slidersfor local controls, and multiple buttons on master key-pads. This intuitive design makes it possible to learnand operate a HomeWorks system in a short time. Inaddition, HomeWorks’ decentralized system allowsindependent operation of local controls in the event thecentral microprocessor is not functioning.

Modular ConceptHomeWorks functions as a decentralized system, allowing the local Vareo and GRAFIK Eye controls tooperate independently of the HomeWorks microproces-sors and keypads. Lights, fans, and other devices canbe added as needed, choosing from a wide selectionof line- and low-voltage interfaces. Additional panels(up to 8 maximum) can be added as a system grows in the design stage.

PreWire CapableHomeWork’s unique design allows it to be incorporatedinto the pre-wire stage of a new home inexpensively,without limiting future expansion and connectivity of thesystem. Conventional switches can easily be changedto Vareo dimmers and switches when desired.

Security InterfaceHomeWorks can be connected to a home security system to activate lights in the event of an intrusion.The selected lights will promptly switch on to a predetermined security level, or flash repeatedly toattract attention.

Telephone InterfaceAn optional telephone interface allows you to accessand control up to nine different functions or events in aHomeWorks system, using local or remote touch-tonephones. The interface guides you through each step withvoice messages and provides positive verbal responsewhen a function or event has been activated.

Vacation ModeHomeWorks constantly monitors and records your dailylighting patterns. When vacation mode operation isselected, it repeats those patterns, providing a realisticappearance of activity while you are away from home.

Aesthetic ConsistencyAll HomeWorks keypads and local controls complementeach other. Controls and accessories not connected tothe system are designed to match those that are. A fullrange of wallplates, receptacles, telephone jacks, andcable jacks are available in several colors and finishes.

Features

Programming FlexibilityHomeWorks master keypad button functions can beprogrammed in three ways – to turn on and off specificlights and devices within a room, to select predeter-mined lighting levels (or scenes), and to select combi-nations of fixtures to create paths of light. Master on/offbuttons offer instant access to all system lights anddevices for safety and security, and master raise/lowerbuttons allow direct manual dimming from keypads.

Programming EaseLutron’s HomeWorks Programming Utility for Windowsmakes it easy to program the individual keypad buttonfunctions, using any Windows 3.1- or Windows 95-based computer. Individual screens prompt you througheach step, and the completed program uploads directlyto the HomeWorks microprocessor. Minor programmingchanges for local controls can also be made directlyfrom master keypads.

Status IndicatorsA quick glance at any master keypad immediately informsyou which groups of lights or controllable functions arecurrently on or active. HomeWorks’ two-way communi-cation system lights the appropriate LED indicator afterit has verified the control function has been activated.

Power Failure MemoryHomeWorks local controls and master keypads aredesigned with power failure memory. If power is inter-rupted and restored, lights will automatically return to thelevels they were set. Any lights turned off prior to a poweroutage will remain off. HomeWorks system program-ming is also saved if power is lost.

HomeWorks System Example 5

A representative HomeWorks systemis shown in this diagram. Touchinga master keypad or handheld IRtransmitter button sends a commandsignal to the HomeWorks micro-processor located in the remotepower panel. The microprocessorresponds by signalling the appro-priate local control, GRAFIK Eyeand remote power module to dimor switch the desired light(s).

HomeWorks microprocessor commands can also be sent by atelephone interface, a timeclock ora security system. Windows-compatible personal computers can communicate with HomeWorksthrough an RS-232 port to programan entire system with easy-to-usesoftware, or directly activate any ofthe system components.

Lights and motors are directly controllable through remote powermodules, or through a selection ofVareo local dimmers and switches,and GRAFIK Eye preset dimmingcontrols. Vareo and GRAFIK Eyecontrols will function locally even ifthe HomeWorks microprocessor isnot functioning.

Lutron Hotline (800) 523-9466Lutron Web Address http://www.Lutron.com/resiHomeWorks Remote Power Panel Enclosure 6

The HomeWorks remote power panel enclosure is thebasic building block of an integrated lighting controlsystem, providing a housing for the HomeWorks microprocessor, up to eight remote power modules, an eight-output low-voltage relay card, and up to fourfilter chokes. The enclosure is also the terminating point for class 2 communications wiring of up to eightGRAFIK Eye main units, 48 HomeWorks Vareo dimmersand switches and 32 master keypads. It is designed to be rough-in capable, providing direct on/off controlof lighting circuits from external circuit breakers if themicroprocessor and remote power modules are to beinstalled at a later date.

Power ControlThe HomeWorks system offers two methods of control-ling lighting loads. HomeWorks Vareo local dimmers andtouch switches can be installed in the room where thelights are located, which is a very economical approachwhen only one or two lights need to be controlled.These local dimmers and switches remain active even if the HomeWorks microprocessor is not functioning.

For installations where multiple gangs of conven-tional local controls would be impractical and undesire-able, remote power modules can be used for directdimming and switching of multiple fixtures. Latchingon/off or pulsed low-voltage control is accomplishedwith the relay card, which mounts adjacent to themicroprocessor assembly. The remote power panelenclosure is typically mounted out of sight in a closet or electrical cabinet, and control is provided by sleek,attractive master keypads.

Microprocessor Assembly

The HomeWorks microprocessor assembly is the centerof a HomeWorks system. It communicates with masterkeypads, Vareo dimmers and switches, GRAFIK Eyepreset controls, and remote power modules to operatelights, relays, motors, shades, and other remotely-controlled devices.

The microprocessor assembly (HW-MA-8-120)installs in the bottom of a remote power panel enclosure and includes a mounting bracket, powersupply, and wiring harness for remote power modules.A maximum of eight microprocessor assemblies can be used in a HomeWorks system, with each assemblyhaving its own unique address.

Time Clock ModeThe HomeWorks microprocessor offers a time-of-dayclock memory function, capable of storing and executingup to 10 individual events per day. These could be usedto automatically turn groups of lights on and off, or oper-ate audiovisual equipment, spas, fountains, or shades.

RS-232 PortAn RS-232 port is included for two-way serial communi-cation with a remote PC, providing an interface to/fromAV equipment, security systems, HVAC systems, andhome automation controls. All system programmingcan be saved as a file and uploaded through this port,using the Windows-based programming utility.

Vacation ModeThe HomeWorks microprocessor assembly constantlymonitors and records daily lighting and device usagepatterns. These patterns can be automatically repeatedto simulate occupancy of the home. This mode is activated through a dry contact closure on the micro-processor assembly.

Security ModeAny lights and controlled devices in the system can beactivated by an external security system to turn on andstay on, or flash on and off when an alarm occurs. Thismode is activated through a dry contact closure on themicroprocessor assembly.

For switch legs without local controls, use this scheduleto assign lighting and motor loads to remote powermodules within the interface panel. Bus numbers 1through 8 are used for either remote power modules or local HomeWorks Vareo controls, while bus numbers9 through 12 are used with Vareo controls only.

HW-RPM-4(U)(S) remote power modules can control up to 4 zones of incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage, or fluorescent lighting.Each zone has a maximum capacity of 16A @120V(1920 W/VA), and each remote power module also has a total capacity of 16A @120V (1920 W/VA).

HW-RPM-4M-120 remote motor interlock modulescan control four 120VAC motors with a maximum relaycontact rating of 1/4 HP, 5A @120VAC inductive, 3A @120VAC resistive.

Interface and booster types include the NGRX-PBPower Booster, High-Power HP 2•4•6, GRX-FDBI-16A-120 HiLume fluorescent dimming ballast, andELVI-1000 for electronic low-voltage fixtures.

In rare cases, some incandescent lamps or trans-formers in electronic low-voltage light fixtures will “buzz” or “hum”. The HW-HIFC-10-2 assembly is usedto reduce hum. Indicate any loads that require filterchokes with a checkmark outside the “watts” column.

Lutron Hotline (800) 523-9466Lutron Web Address http://www.Lutron.com/resiHomeWorks Master Keypad Layout and Design 22

HomeWorks master keypads are installed at locationswhere master control of the system is desired, such asentranceways, kitchens, great rooms, master bedrooms,foyers, garages, and patios, and are typically mounted52" above floor level.

Any button can easily be programmed to control oneor more lights and devices, using Lutron’s HomeWorksProgramming Utility for Windows software. Masteron/off or raise/lower buttons are available on certainkeypad models.

Assigning Keypad FunctionsSimplicity and consistency work best when programmingand assigning HomeWorks master keypad functions.Developing a keypad theme or structure ensures a famil-iar operation to keypads throughout the home, meaningthat a specific button function appears in the sameposition on every keypad that activates that function.

For layout and location purposes, keypads can begrouped into three types: Room control keypads, whichactivate lights or devices in a specific room and replacegangs of dimmers, point of entry keypads, located atentry/exitways of a home for control of exterior andinterior lighting, and monitor keypads, used to identifylighting status at a glance.

Keypad buttons function in two ways. A monitorbutton indicates if a light or group of lights is on or off.Examples shown include front exterior lighting (FR EXT),rear exterior lighting (R EXT) and foyer (FOYER) buttons.

Master Keypad Layout and Design

An activity button is used to activate a specific lightsetting or path of light, and is usually called a “scene”button. Examples of activity buttons shown includePATH HI/LOW, WELCOME, ACCENT, MORNING ANDNIGHT. (Note: When creating paths of light, selectcommon hallways and stairways only - avoid creatingmultiple paths which might overlap.)

Common Lighting Scenes

HOME – Activates selected lights in a dark residence when returninghome at night, such as exterior lights, kitchen, and pathways.

AWAY – Turns on exterior lights and sets selected interior lights topreset levels when leaving home to return after dark.

PATH HI – Illuminates hallways to a bright setting for early evening

PATH LOW – Illuminates hallways to a dim setting for late night use.

EXTERIOR – Conveniently turns on/off all exterior lights without theneed to walk to every entry point.

MASTER ON – Turns all lights on.

MASTER OFF – Turns all lights off.

NIGHT LIGHT – Turns off all lights except hallways, which remain atdimmed levels for children and guests.

TIMECLOCK – Activates/deactivates timeclock mode.

VACATION – Activates/deactivates vacation mode.

ENTERTAIN – Raises house lighting to bright levels for entertaining.

PANIC – Activates security lighting.

Lutron Hotline (800) 523-9466Lutron Web Address http://www.Lutron.com/resiHomeWorks Programming Utility 23

In addition to simple manual keypad programming,HomeWorks systems can be configured with Lutron’sHomeWorks Programming Utility for either Windows 3.1or Windows 95. A series of easy-to-use screens promptsthe user to define the system components and programmaster keypad button functions. Diagnostic featuresare also included to help installers troubleshoot andfine-tune systems.

The Output Device Definition screen is where eachlocal control device is defined, along with panel addreses,and circuit number and wallbox number information.Individual button functions are assigned on the ButtonProgramming screen. The keypad being programmedappears as a large icon, and the function names selectedare shown under each button. Preset dimming informa-tion is also displayed on this screen. After programmingis complete, the system configuration is uploaded tothe system through a computer’s RS-232 serial port.

The Display Devices screen is used during initialinstallation and programming to verify system equipmentis functioning properly. If installed on the homeowner’scomputer, it can also be used to control individual lightsthroughout the house.

Minimum requirements to run the HomeWorksProgramming Utility are an 80386DX/25 Mhz or fasterWindows PC with 4 megabytes of RAM, 4 megabytesof hard disk space, and DB-9 serial port connection. 8megabytes of RAM is recommended for faster operation.

Refer to publication #043-012 for more details onusing the HomeWorks Programming Utility.

System Wiring

To wire a home for a HomeWorks controlsystem, follow these simple instructions:

Local Controls

Step 1 – Install single-gang and multigangwallboxes at desired locations. For ease of installation, use 3 1/2” deep wallboxes.Masonry boxes are recommended forGRAFIK Eye main units .

Step 2 – Wire single-pole and 3-wayswitch locations per standard wiring prac-tices. Local controls must be installed suchthat any 3-way auxiliary switch is on theload side of the local dimmer or switch. SeePages 26-27 for wiring details. For circuitsthat require GFI protection, contact Lutron.

Remote Power Panel Enclosure

Step 3 – From each local dimmer orswitch that will be mastered, pull wires tothe interface panel as shown in the wiringdiagrams on pages 26-27. Up to 4 devicescan be connected to a single pair thatreturns to the panel. Maximum wire lengthis 500 feet per bus.

Step 4 – From the GRAFIK Eye units tobe mastered, continue the daisy chain tothe interface panel as shown on pages26-27. Maximum wire length is 2000 feet.

Step 5 – Provide a 120 VAC, 15A hot and neutral supply to the microprocessorassembly, and a 120VAC, 20A hot andneutral supply to each remote powermodule.
