# Lutron Quantum

> Connect Lutron Quantum to KODE OS for lighting data

> Connect Lutron Quantum to KODE OS for lighting data integration

## Overview

Use this integration to connect Lutron Quantum to KODE OS. You can discover lighting fixtures and points, pull snapshot occupancy and load data over REST, and monitor energy-relevant readings from Data Sources.

| Property            | Value    |
| ------------------- | -------- |
| **System Type**     | Lighting |
| **Communication**   | REST     |
| **Collection**      | Pull     |
| **Collection Mode** | SNAPSHOT |

## Supported Capabilities

* Discover Devices & Points
* Collect Sensor Data

## Prerequisites

* An active account with Lutron Quantum and access to their API or developer portal
* API key or token from the Lutron Quantum platform
* KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources

## Generate API Credentials

1. Log in to the Lutron Quantum platform or admin console
2. Navigate to the API settings, developer section, or account settings
3. Generate a new API key or token
4. Copy the key and store it securely -- you will need it when configuring the connector in KODE OS

## Configure Connector in KODE OS

1. Navigate to **Data Sources** in your building
2. Click **API Catalog** and search for **Lutron Quantum**
3. Click **+ Add Datasource**
4. Fill in the fields below and complete the three-page setup flow

| Field               | Required | Type     | Description                                              |
| ------------------- | -------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Room**            | No       | text     | The specific room this connector is associated with      |
| **URL**             | Yes      | text     | The base URL or IP address of the external system        |
| **API Key**         | Yes      | password | The API key for authenticating with the external system  |
| **API Building ID** | Yes      | password | The building or source identifier in the external system |

## Discover Devices and Points

After configuring the connector, click **Discover** on the connector detail page. KODE OS will query the Lutron Quantum system and return a list of available devices and their data points.

Review the discovered items and select the devices you want to register in KODE OS.

For more details on the discovery process, see the [Discovery guide](/products/integrations/capabilities/discovery).

## Devices and Points

When you discover devices from Lutron Quantum, KODE OS maps them to the following device types and data points:

### Lighting Fixture

Canonical Type: `lighting`

| # | Point     | Description                                                          | Unit  | Writable | Collection |
| - | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----- | -------- | ---------- |
| 1 | `Unknown` | **Unknown** / **Unoccupied** / **Occupied** / **AfterHoursInactive** | watts | No       | Polling    |

## What Data You Get

### Point History

Time-series readings including Unknown, collected at regular intervals from connected devices

### Polling Schedule

* **Point History** -- Default polling: 3 hours (min: 3 hours, max: 3 hours)

For more details on collection modes, see the [Data Collection guide](/products/integrations/capabilities/data-collection).

## Use Cases

Once connected, this integration enables you to:

* Monitor lighting system status, energy usage, and occupancy-driven behavior
* Coordinate lighting schedules with HVAC and building automation systems
* Track lighting energy consumption and identify optimization opportunities

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Authentication or connection error">
    Verify that the credentials are correct and have not expired. Check that the URL is reachable from the KODE OS environment. Ensure the API key or token is valid and has not been revoked or expired in the Lutron Quantum platform.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Discovery returns no devices">
    Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Lutron Quantum system to list devices. Run a test connection first to confirm connectivity. Some systems require specific API scopes or roles for device enumeration.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Data collection stops or gaps appear">
    Check the connector status on the Data Sources page. If the status shows an error, review the error logs on the connector detail page. Common causes include expired credentials, network changes, or rate limiting by the Lutron Quantum API.
