Provides customers using the Vive hub application to use secure browser communications without receiving any authentication warnings due to the self-signed certificates that are shipped with the hubs.
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). LRF5 sensors still require this setting to be set on the sensor.

Wireless devices.

Any given load device can be controlled by 10 occupancy sensors, 10 Pico remote controls and 1 daylight sensor (Pico remote controls and sensors must be located within 9 m of the load device they are controlling).

Metal Ceiling Mounting

Metal ceiling grids must have a > 3 mm gap of non-metal material which extends the entire length of the tile on at least one edge. This is often achieved by foam spacers that are used to prevent tile-to-tile rattling.
Metal ceiling grids which are continuous (with no gap) or those that are interlocked, must have a total surface area that is less than 81 m2 for each section. The overall space can be larger as long as there are non-metal sections bordering or intersecting the metal sections.
Do not install the Vive hub above metal ceilings or tiles with a metal backing.

Mounting

Mount the Lutron QSPS-DH-1-75 power supply in a thirdparty DIN-style enclosure (IP20 minimum).
The power supply must be mounted within 150 m of the Vive hub when using 1.0 mm2 (18 AWG) minimum low-voltage wiring.

Environment

For indoor use only.
0 °C to 40 °C.
Relative humidity less than 90% non-condensing.

Contact Closure Input Terminals

First contact closure input (CCI 1) is to be used for initiating load shed only.
The second contact closure input (CCI 2) may be programmed to activate a scene. If activating a scene, a “deactivation” behavior may be set in the scene in order to set two behaviors for the one input.
Accepts only maintained inputs.
Off-state leakage current must be less than 100 μA.
Open circuit voltage: 24 V- maximum.
Input wiring: 0.2 mm2 to 2.5 mm2 (24 AWG to 12 AWG).
Contact Closure Inputs on multiple hubs can be wired in parallel. DO NOT wire inputs in parallel with other equipment as it can cause the inputs on either of the devices to falsely trigger.
Up to 4 hubs in parallel.
To ensure proper operation of Contact Closure Inputs, a QSPS-DH-1-75 power supply may not be used to provide power to more than one hub.
Inputs must be dry contact closure, solid state, open collector, or active-low (NPN) / active high (PNP) output.
Open collector NPN or active-low on-state voltage must be less than 2 V and sink 3.0 mA.
Open collector PNP or active-high on-state voltage must be greater than 12 V and source 3.0 mA.

Programming
The Vive Hub is meant to be permanently installed. It is not intended to be used as a programming tool that can be removed from the site after commissioning. 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.

Product Overview

Vive Security Statement

Lutron takes the security of the Vive Lighting Control System very seriously. The Vive Lighting Control System has been designed and engineered with attention to security since its inception. Lutron has engaged security experts and independent testing firms throughout the entire development of the Vive Lighting Control System. Lutron is committed to security and continuous improvement throughout the Vive product lifecycle.
The Vive Lighting Control System uses a multi-tiered approach to security. They include:

An architecture that isolates the wired Ethernet network from the wireless network, which strictly limits the possibility of the Vive Wi-Fi being used to access the corporate network and gain confidential information
A distributed security architecture with each hub having its own unique keys that would limit any potential breach to only a small area of the system
Multiple levels of password protection (Wi-Fi network and the hubs themselves), with built-in rules that force the user to enter a strong password
ISO-recommended best practices including salting and SCrypt for securely storing usernames and passwords
AES 128-bit encryption for network communications
HTTPS (TLS 1.2) protocol for securing connections to the hub over the wired network
WPA2 technology for securing connections to the hub over the Wi-Fi network
Azure provided encryption-at-rest technologies.
The Vive hub can be deployed in one of two ways:
- Dedicated Lutron Network
- Connected to the corporate IT network via Ethernet. The Vive hub must be connected via Ethernet to access certain features such as BACnet® for BMS integration or OpenADRR integration. Lutron advises following best practices in this instance, including separating the business information network and the building infrastructure network. Use of a VLAN or physically separated networks is recommended for secure deployment.

Dedicated Lutron Network Deployment
The Vive hub is not connected to the building network. Wi-Fi is used to connect to a smart device such as a phone, tablet, or PC for commissioning and configuration only. The Vive hub serves web pages for setup and maintenance via a password-protected connection. The Wi-Fi SSID can be set to not broadcast. The Vive hub Wi-Fi may be disabled if desired.

Corporate IT Network Deployment
The Vive hub may be deployed with a fixed Ethernet IP address or served over DHCP. The Vive hub reserves the IP subnet 192.168.3.0/24 for its Wi-Fi, so the hub cannot be assigned an Ethernet IP address in that range. Once the IT network is operational, the Vive hub will serve password-protected web pages for access and maintenance. The Vive hub Wi-Fi may be disabled if desired. The Vive hub acts as a Wi-Fi access point purely for the configuration and commissioning of the Vive system. It is not a substitute for your building’s normal Wi-Fi access point. The Vive hub does not act as a bridge between wireless and wired networks. It is strongly recommended that local IT security professionals be involved with the network configuration and set-up to ensure the installation meets their security needs.
