New Features & Fixed Issues in 5.0.8
Design
1. A Maestro ELV dimmer (RRD-6NE) can be converted to an adaptive dimmer (RRD-6NA). This
option is found by right-clicking an ELV dimmer in the design screen room viewer and choosing
“Convert to Adaptive Dimmer,” or by opening the “Edit Device” window for an ELV dimmer and
clicking on “Convert to Adaptive Dimmer.”
Note 1: You will need to activate the adaptive dimmer after converting the ELV dimmer in the
GUI.
Note 2: You cannot convert an adaptive dimmer back to an ELV dimmer.
Program
1. Labels have been added to Main Repeater phantom buttons 76-100 to indicate they are
reserved for integration with security panels.
Fixes
1. On certain jobs, one or more devices would fail during every database transfer. This issue has
been fixed.
2. Converting a dimmer to a hybrid keypad caused the GUI to crash. This issue has been fixed.
3. Changing the load type for a lamp dimmer or plug-in dimmer to non-dimmed caused the GUI to
crash. This issue has been fixed.
4. After adding a new timeclock mode, a user could not program a button to control the new
timeclock mode unless they restarted the GUI. This issue has been fixed.
5. The “Remote Access Address” field is now visible on the “Find Main Repeater” window at any
screen resolution.
6. After an activation or a transfer, the GUI was using 50-100% of the CPU, which was causing
peformance issues and can prevent subsequent transfers from working properly. This issue has
been fixed.
7. Free-standing PICO keypads will not display a faceplate model number in the toolbox or reports.
8. Prices have been corrected for PICO pedestals on the Bill of Materials report.
9. A transfer to a Main Repeater could cause the Main Repeater to reset. This issue has been
fixed.

10. When choosing a PICO button configuration for a shade PICO keypad, switching between
engraving styles could cause the GUI to crash. This issue has been fixed.
11. The GUI did not save the “Randomize” option for timeclock modes. This issue has been fixed.
12. The GUI did not create new green modes properly in projects created prior to RadioRA 2 version
4.2.8. This issue has been fixed.
13. Shared scenes programmed as toggle buttons will display room status instead of scene status.
New Features & Fixed Issues in 5.0.1

3. Support for PICO table top pedestals have been added to the software.

exactly like roller shades in the software.

Program
13. Support for shared scenes has been added to the program screen. Shared scenes allow users to
create scenes that can be reused throughout the home. Each project will include an “All On”
scene and an “All Off” scene for all lighting zones in the home. Buttons can now be
programmed to activate or toggle a shared scene. Timeclock events can activate a shared
scene.
Note 1: This feature is only supported in the “Inclusive” version of the software.
14. Timeclock events can now be programmed to activate green modes. In addition to normal level
programming, green modes allow you to set a Green Trim for dimmers. Green Trim reduces the
light level of a dimmer throughout its dimmed range, in order to save energy. Green timeclock
events can save additional energy by turning off unneeded lights and controlling shades. This
feature requires dimmers shipped from Lutron after January 1, 2011.
15. Buttons, contact closure inputs and occupancy sensors can be programmed to set HVAC
controller heat/cool setpoints in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
16. When Away mode is enabled for HVAC controllers, you can set the heat/cool setpoints in Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
17. HVAC event schedules for each HVAC controller in the system can be programmed in Celsius or
Fahrenehit.
18. When programming green buttons, the Eco Mode for HVAC controllers can be set in Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
19. APM settings for dimmers can now be accessed on the program screen by right-clicking a
dimmer in the room viewer and choosing “Advanced Settings.”
20. Timeclock events can now be sorted. Events can be dragged and dropped to change the order
in the GUI.
Activate
21. Support for remote activation by serial number has been added to the activate screen. Users
can type in a serial number for a device in the activation screen grid to activate a device.
Note 1: This feature is not supported for auxiliary repeaters, PICO keypads, sensors, and the
TouchPRO WirelessTM Theromstat.
22. The activation screen grid has a new column to “Identify” a device that has been activated.
When this option is clicked for a dimmer, its load will flash. When this option is clicked for a
shade, it will wiggle.
23. The activation screen grid can be sorted by any column to make it easier to identify devices in
the grid. The grid will be sorted by default to display unactivated devices at the top.
