I am a Crestron programmer and have been attempting to take control of a Lutron homeworks processor that controls an appartments window shades.
So far I have been unsuccessful. The lutron programmer has set up what she calls "phantom key pads" that raise and lower shades.
Using a program called viewport (a form of hyper terminal) I am able to send the string:
KBP,1:6:11,9
Lutron sends back:
L232>
KBP, [01:06:11], 9
DL, [01:04:03:24], 25.00
KLS, [01:06:11], 010100001000000000000000
so this looks to me like proper serial dialog according to the protocol
as the lutron programmer has stated to me that button 9 on keypad 1:6:11 is supposed to lower shade control 1:4:3:24 to 25% but nothing happens.
When she pushes this "phantom key pad button" sometimes the shades actually work
I think I am using the proper command string and I obviously have serial communications occurring so naturally I believe the prob lies on the lutron side of the equation--but I want it to work and the Lutron programmer seems a little lost

Sometimes with Lutron you need to also program the keypad button release

After you send the command you need to release the button press with a /r at the end of the command. The phantom keypads that were created by the lutron programmer will not help you, you must know what physical keypad that the commands are programmed to so you can issue the same command's via rs-232. Here is an example
Address 01: BUTTON 01 KBP,[1:6:1],1\r
