Connect Lutron Athena to KODE OS for lighting data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect Lutron Athena to KODE OS. You can discover lighting and shading devices, pull snapshot data over TCP/IP, and monitor fixture and zone state from Data Sources across commercial spaces.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
Prerequisites
- Network access to the Lutron Athena controller or device
- The IP address and port of the on-site system
- KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources
Configure Connector in KODE OS
- Navigate to Data Sources in your building
- Click API Catalog and search for Lutron Athena
- Click + Add Datasource
- Fill in the fields below and complete the three-page setup flow
Discover Devices and Points
After configuring the connector, click Discover on the connector detail page. KODE OS will query the Lutron Athena 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.Devices and Points
When you discover devices from Lutron Athena, KODE OS maps them to the following device types and data points:Lighting Fixture
Canonical Type:default
What Data You Get
Point History
Time-series readings including state, occupancyStatus, currentScene, level, collected at regular intervals from connected devicesPolling Schedule
- Point History — Default polling: 5 minutes (min: 5 minutes, max: 5 minutes)
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
Cannot connect to controller
Cannot connect to controller
Verify the IP address and port are correct. Ensure the Lutron Athena controller is powered on and connected to the network. Check that firewalls allow inbound connections on the configured port from the KODE OS server.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Lutron Athena system to list devices. Run a test connection first to confirm connectivity. Some systems require specific API scopes or roles for device enumeration.
Data collection stops or gaps appear
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 Athena API.
