NOTE: A PC running Windows 10 or higher with Chrome 59.0.3071 or higher is required for motor commissioning
and Somfy Connect UAI Plus firmware updates. A mobile device can be used to control motors once commissioning is complete.
The Somfy Connect™ UAI Plus is designed to commission and control residential and commercial
Somfy Digital Network™ (SDN) motors through IP and RS-232 serial communication.
Integration for the Somfy Connect UAI Plus enables third-party control from Lutron® systems
including HomeWorks® QS, RadioRA 2, RA2 Select, GRAFIK Eye® QS, Quantum® and myRoom Plus.

V. INTEGRATION CONFIGURATION
LUTRON DEVICES
A Lutron Device is any physical or virtual keypad, timeclock, occupancy
sensor or other user interface that contains a Device ID.
The Lutron Device ID consists of three parts:
DEVICE ID# –Individual Lutron Device identifier which can not be changed in the Somfy Connect UAI Plus
BUTTON# –The specific keypad button, timeclock event, occupancy sensor and other devices
COMMAND –Actions of each stage of a button press [Press, Release, Release for Hold, Hold (Multi)]
DEVICE TYPE DEVICE ID# BUTTON # COMMAND
Keypad Variable Refer to keypad
selection chart
3 = Press
4 = Release
5 = Release for hold
6 = Hold (Multi)
Timeclock Variable 5Event #
Occupancy Sensor Variable 83 = Occupied
4 = Unoccupied

USING LISTENING MODE:
Listening Mode captures Lutron button presses in real time without the need of an Integration Report.
1) Make a live button press on the Lutron device to record into the Devices list
2) In the Lutron Devices tab, click the spyglass
•The Device ID# and Name of the last recorded Lutron button press will appear in the Devices list
3) Enter a unique name easily recognized in the Devices list into the Device Name field
4) Repeat steps 1-3 until all required devices are entered into the Lutron Devices list
USING THE LUTRON INTEGRATION REPORT:
The Lutron Integration Report details all programmed device names, device IDs, button numbers and their text.
Only the device ID is represented in the integration guide. Refer to the Lutron Integrator for the event number.
NOTE: The Lutron Integration Report should be provided by the Lutron Integrator. There is no Integration Report available for GRAFIK Eye QS, so
the functions of the buttons must be provided by the Lutron Integrator.
1) In the Lutron Devices tab, select the Plus Sign for fields to open below
2) Enter the Device ID# from the Lutron Integration Report into the Device ID field
3) Enter the Device Name from the Lutron Integration Report or a unique name easily recognized in the Devices list
into the Device Name field
