Lutron has introduced a new product called Vive. It is a wireless lighting control solution best used for retrofit applications in medium sized spaces such as offices and restaurants of around 10,000 sf. Additionally it can be replicated and expanded into larger spaces. Essentially, the PowPak is installed to existing fixtures and communicates to the Vive wireless hub. Users are then able to control the fixtures through any device with internet access. This also allows for the integration of sensors. It is capable of being installed in conjunction to an existing Maestro hub in retrofit applications. Vive is able to match controls to fixture packages (0-10V, phase control, switching, ect.) and is code compliant. Vive Wireless is a cost effective alternative for hard wiring controls.
