2.0 omeWorks QS Integration w/ LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons
The LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons can communicate directly with a HomeWorks QS system,
mapping to a 3 Button w/ Raise and Lower Pico Wireless Controller. The LaunchPort Sleeve
Buttons can control any of the Assignable Items in the HomeWorks QS system as well as drive
functionality within various 3
rd
party control systems.
2.1 Connecting LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons to the omeWorks QS
System
2.1.1 Wireless (RF) Link Connection
In this configuration, the LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons communicate to the HomeWorks QS
processor by sending wireless data to a Hybrid Repeater which then passes the communication
back to the Processor. Up to (4) Hybrid Repeaters can be utilized per RF Link. At least (1)
Hybrid Repeater must be wired to the configurable link on the Processor. The LaunchPort
Sleeve Buttons will count as (1) of the (95) non-Repeater/Processor devices on the RF Link.
Refer to the Product Specification Submittals for more details on the hardware and wiring
specifications.

2.1.2 Wired (QS) Link Connection
In this configuration, the LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons communicate to the HomeWorks QS
processor by sending wireless data to a QS Sensor odule (QS ) which then passes the
communication back to the Processor over the QS Wired Link. The QS takes up (1) of the
available (99) addresses on the QS Link. Up to (10) can be addressed to a single QS .

2.2 Adding LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons to a omeWorks QS Database
In order to program the LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons via the HomeWorks QS programming
software, a Pico Wireless Controller must be added, serving as the programming template for
the sleeve. To start, go to Design > Controls.
Select the desired room in which the LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons will be installed by clicking
on the room name within the area tree.
5 | P a g e
Add a Pico 3BRL to the selected area and provide an appropriate Device Location name. You
may need to first add the Pico 3BRL to the Toolbox.
If the Sleeve Buttons are going to communicate to the HomeWorks QS system via the RF Link,
as shown in Section 2.1.1, the Pico placeholder must be link assigned to the appropriate RF
link. Go to Design > Link Assignment to associate the Pico.
If the Sleeve Buttons are going to communicate to the HomeWorks QS system via the QS Link
(through a QS ), as shown in Section 2.1.2, the Pico placeholder must be assigned to the
appropriate QS device. Find the QS and assign the Pico by going to Design > Equipment.

2.3 Programming LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons to Control a omeWorks
QS System
Programming the actions of the LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons requires that the appropriate
actions be programmed to the Pico 3BRL placeholder, added in Section 2.2. Go to Program >
Devices.
Use the Device Location drop-down menu to select the area where the Pico 3BRL has been
placed and click on the Pico 3BRL image to select the control in the pop-up window.
On the left-side of the screen will be a larger image of the Pico 3BRL. Click on the button that
you would like to program. The currently selected button will be shaded green.
7 | P a g e
To the right will be options to configure the Program Type, Button Type, and LED Logic. As a
result of the buttons not having LED status indication, buttons are typically programmed as
Single Action with Scene LED logic. The buttons can be assigned any Program Type (Normal,
Single Variable, or Conditional) and can be program to control any Assignable Item in the
database.
Note: ake sure that the proper button mapping is being followed in order to assign the
appropriate actions to Sleeve Buttons. The orientation of the Sleeve Buttons on the wall will
determine the button mapping in the programming software. See section Appendix A in
Section 7.0.
2.4 Programming LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons to Control 3
rd
Party
Equipment
The LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons can be configured to control 3
rd
party equipment as well as
Lutron products. There are two ways to typically accomplish this: send outbound strings of
communication to the 3
rd
party devices using the Control 3
rd
Party feature of the HomeWorks
QS software or by using Lutron’s Integration Protocol to allow the 3
rd
party system to understand
Lutron system commands. any 3
rd
party manufacturers have drivers already written to allow
easier integration between Lutron and their system.
In either case, the HomeWorks QS Processor would connect into the Local Area Network that
the 3
rd
party equipment is connected to. If the 3
rd
party equipment communicates primarily via
RS-232 serial communication, a serial to Ethernet converter is recommended to allow the 3
rd
party system to communicate into the Local Area Network.
There are two primary ways in which the buttons could activate functions in the 3
rd
party system.
One way would be to send a command, built into the database via a Control 3
rd
Party device.
8 | P a g e
These commands appear in the Assignable Items drop down when programming devices,
sensors, or timeclocks.
The other option is to not assign any items to the button in the programming software and
having the 3
rd
party system monitor network traffic for a command which would signify a button
press or release. When a Sleeve Button is pressed, a command similar to the following will be
sent out which the 3
rd
party system can subsequently listen to and react from: #DEVICE,X,Y,Z
where
X = the integration ID of the Pico (acting as the LaunchPort placeholder)
Y = the component number of the button being pressed
Z = 3 (press) or 4 (release)
ost drivers will require the Component Number and Integration ID for all devices that it is to
control. This information can be found in the Integration Report, built into the programming
software.
Refer to the application note titled “Integration with Ethernet and RS-232 Devices” for further
information. This application note can be found on the HomeWorks QS Resource site under
Technical Information > WQS > WQS App Notes/FAQs:
http://resi.lutron.com/Portals/3/Support/App%20Notes%20-%20FAQs/HWQS/HWQS%20RS-
232%20Ethernet%20Integration%20-%20Rev%20C.pdf
2.5 Activating LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons to a omeWorks QS System
The process of activating the Sleeve Buttons to the HomeWorks QS system is the same as
activating a Pico to the system. First, use the Activate tab drop down menu to select either
Devices or QS Sensors. Sleeve Buttons communicating via an RF Link can be found as a
Pico Keypad in Devices. Choose QS Sensors when the Sleeve Buttons communicate to the
QS and Wired Link.
To activate a Pico to either link type, the “Off” button will need to be held for a approximately 6-
10 seconds. Refer to Appendix A in Section 5.0 to determine which of the Sleeve Buttons
maps to the Pico “Off” button.

3.0 RadioRA 2 Integration w/ LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons
The LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons can communicate directly with a RadioRA 2 system. apping
to a 3 Button w/ Raise and Lower Pico Wireless Controller, the LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons can
control lights and shades in the RadioRA 2 system as well as drive functionality within various
3
rd
party control systems.
3.1 Connecting LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons to the RadioRA 2 System
The LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons communicate to the RadioRA 2 system by sending wireless
data to the ain Repeater or any Auxiliary Repeater connected to the ain Repeater. Up to (4)
Auxiliary Repeaters can be utilized per ain Repeater with a maximum of (2) ain Repeaters
allowed per RadioRA 2 system. Each ain Repeater can support up to (95) non-Repeater
devices. The Sleeve Buttons will count as (1) of the (95) non-Repeater devices allowed. Refer
to the Product Specification Submittals for more details on the hardware and wiring
specifications.
