Lutron Athena System User Guide
Purpose of this document
This document will be updated frequently as new features and capabilities are added to the Athena system.
• Summarize what the Athena app / system can do
• Explain Operations & Maintenance
What is an Athena System
Overview
Athena is a flexible, simple, all-in-one solution that combines the world’s most advanced light source with
intelligent shades and connected apps to deliver a holistic light experience.
The most up-to-date information about the system can be found on our website:
https://www.lutron.com/en-US/Products/Pages/WholeBuildingSystems/athena/overview.aspx
For further system architecture and device details see:
https://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/3685737_Athena_System_Architecture.pdf
Athena is an evolving solution that like other modern software solutions, when Internet connected, receives
frequent updates and improvements adding new features, bug fixes, and security enhancements.
System Setup
Athena systems are commissioned by a Lutron Field Service Engineer (FSE) using Lutron Designer software.
Connectivity
Athena systems are comprised of one or multiple connected processor / gateway devices that communicate
with each other via a system Ethernet lighting control network. Internet access is required for system start-
up and highly recommended for ongoing system usage. The lighting control network can be cloud-enabled
via the included LTE modem module or can be interfaced with an existing building IT network. If the Athena
network does not have internet access, the Athena hub will not receive automatic firmware updates and the
system will not be accessible remotely via the Lutron app.
LTE Modem
Lutron provides out-of-the-box cloud connectivity to Athena systems via an included LTE modem module
for use during system start-up. This allows for a secure and seamless start-up, software updates, remote
service / support, and fast and easy connectivity without any advanced network configuration. For ongoing
internet connectivity, Lutron recommends connecting Athena processors to an internet connection that
supports outbound requests. The LTE modem is currently not available for long term internet access and is
only for start-up use.

Lutron Athena System User Guide
Lutron App
The Lutron app is available on the Apple App Store. The app can be used to connect with an Athena system
via the cloud or local network, control and monitor lighting, as well as make changes to system/ scene
programming.
App Features
• Connect to system securely via cloud or local network
• View current levels of system lighting
• Navigate area hierarchy to view lighting zones
– Easily toggle all lights on / off in an area
• Activate scenes within areas
• Control lights
– Adjust all lights in area together with master control
– Control individual lighting zones (app controls for zone types described below)
Load Type Intensity Control CCT Control Color Palette
Ketra X X X
0-10 V (static white) X
0-10 V (tunable white CCT / INT) X
T-Series X
DMX* X
DALI X
Contact Closures X
* Loads configured as DMX 1-channel in Lutron Designer will be shown with a 0-100% slider in the app. Multi-channel DMX fixtures may be configured
as multiple 1-channel loads.
• Scene editing
– Modify the light levels for area scenes
– User experience tailored for Lighting Designer scene tuning
– Fine-tuning mode
– Use phone's camera to select a color
– Set the Fade properties for the scene (for all dimming loads)
– Set the Delay properties for the scene (for non-Ketra loads)
– Specify zones as affected/ unaffected for the scene
– For tunable white lighting (0-10 V, T-Series, DMX, DALI) only intensity can be edited

Lutron Athena System User Guide
Lighting Designer Experience
The Lutron app incorporates a streamlined workflow for lighting designers to realize their vision in a space by
seamlessly connecting to the Athena system and adjusting scenes in any area.
Lighting designer features (iOS only):
• Quickly connect to system via cloud or local network
• Easily find your area by toggling area lighting on/off
• Preview each scene in an area
• Adjust light levels live in real-time with an area with a master control
• Control and set lighting
– Intensity
– Color Temperature (Ketra)
– Full Color (Ketra)
– Vibrancy (Ketra)
– Fade (for all dimming loads)
– Delay (for non-Ketra loads)
• Quickly save your settings to a scene with “Save to” function
• Fine-Tuning mode allows you to make small incremental changes (uses full screen and haptic feedback)
Cloud Services
Project Account Authorization
Athena systems are associated with a single Lutron account setup in the app. Multiple users will be able to
access a single Athena system with individual myLutron accounts in a future update.
Software Updates
Athena system software can receive updates via the cloud for new features and improvements. Certain
new features may require on-site setup, configuration, or hardware additions. For systems without Internet
access, systems can be updated by a Lutron Field Service Engineer visit.
Simple Connectivity
If the Athena system is connected the internet, you can access the system via the Lutron app as long as
your device has an internet connection. For more information on how Athena connects to the cloud, go to
www.lutron.com/athenaITguide
Service and Support
In the event of an issue with the system, Lutron can remotely gather diagnostic information (if granted
permission) for the internet-connected Athena system and may be able to resolve the issue without requiring
an on-site visit.
Third-Party Integration
The Athena system cloud connection allows for cloud-based integrations such as voice control with third-
party systems.

Programming Features
Athena system programming is initially created by Lutron in the Lutron Designer software. Many changes to
the system can then be performed using the Lutron app.
Scenes
Each area may contain up to 16 scenes plus an OFF scene. Area scenes are initially created in the Lutron
Designer software, and can then be modified with the Lutron app.
Keypads
Keypad wall controls and Pico wireless controls are initially created in the Lutron Designer software, and
programmed to activate scenes or perform other functions.
Timeclocks
Timeclocks are initially created in the Lutron Designer software. From the Lutron app, some properties of
the events may be edited (time / days of event, lighting intensity, CCT / Full Color for Ketra loads). Advanced
settings such as occupancy settings are not available for editing in the app at this time.
Occupancy
Occupancy programming and select sensor settings are defined in the Lutron Designer software.
Load Shed
Load shed (demand response) is configured inthe Lutron Designer software and can be tested by an FSE in
the Lutron Designer terminal. It can then be activated via Athena Automated Demand Response Kit.
Daylighting
Daylighting settings are defined in the Lutron Designer software.
Device Replacement
Device replacement may be performed in the Lutron Designer software by a Lutron FSE.
System Expansion
System expansion (adding new devices / areas) may be performed in the Lutron Designer software by a
Lutron FSE.
Shade Limits
Shade limit settings may be adjusted in the Lutron Designer software.
Trim Adjustment
Lighting device trim settings may be adjusted in the Lutron Designer software.
Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting settings are defined in the Lutron Designer software.
