1.06Client Side Map Descriptors
The driver uses Map Descriptors with Lutron commands to build poll messages that will be sent to the eLumen system. Example Map Descriptors are shown in the next section. Note the following in the use of Map Descriptors for the Lutron driver:
Lutron command
Every Map Descriptor must have a Lutron command specified so the driver will know which command to send to the eLumen.
Function
Map Descriptor functions must be correctly specified to implement the functionality embodied by the specific Lutron command, e.g. a command to retrieve area status requires a read Map Descriptor whereas a command to toggle zones requires a write Map Descriptor.
DA_Area_Names, DA_Scene_Names, DA_Zone_Names, xxx_Offset
These are user Map Descriptor fields needed to retrieve area, scene and zone names from the eLumen. Please refer to the Map Descriptor examples.
Link, Area, Link_station, Switch, Zone, Sys_var, Panel
These are user Map Descriptor fields that must be used as needed with a specific Lutron command. Please refer to the Map Descriptor examples.
DA_Lut_List, DA_Lut_List_Offset
Lutron commands that allow multiple areas, zones, etc to be specified in one command e.g. Toggle zones use the areas or zones in the Data Array specified by DA_Lut_List at an offset specified by DA_Lut_List_Offset to build the poll message. The list must be filled in before the command is triggered by writing into the Data Array specified by Data_Array_Name.
DA_Lut_Parms, DA_Lut_Parms_Offset
Lutron commands that use parameters such as delay and fade cycles use the parameters at the offset as specified by these Map Descriptor fields. Parameters must be filled in together with the list data if applicable before triggering the command by writing into the Data Array specified by Data_Array_Name. Please refer to the Map Descriptor examples.
