Some points
Here is the protocol:
http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/040196d.pdf

When selecting an interface device to the GRX system consider the
GRX-CI-PRG. This has an astronomic clock (not yet used) and RS232 iterface.

If used in conjunction with smth like moxa or iTach you get more
connections to the lutron system compared to the max of 2 given by the
ethernet only GRX-CI-NWK-E version.
You would also need to log in to the GRX-CI-NWK-E (using the startup
command in system properties)
PRG also offers more commands.

If your client has the GRX 3500 or greater version you can use gauges to
display the intensities. . . smth the 3000 series does not report . . .

EOM for interface: \x0D\x0A

Here is a regex I wrote a while back for displaying the current scene
(there are 16 possible scenes you can program in):

Feedback from hercules:
:ss 000420M0{0D}{0A} (note the starting colon)

Explanation:
1st 2nd, 3rd 6th and 8th controllers are on scene zero (off)
Controller four is on scene 4 and controller five is on scene 2.
Controller 7 is missing from the system. (I have only 7 controllers)

This is not tested properly so please be careful:

.*ss\s[A-F0-9M][A-F0-9M](0)?(1)?(2)?(3)?(4)?(5)?(6)?(7)?(8)?(9)?(A)?(B)?(C)?(D)?(E)?(F)?[A-F0-9M][A-F0-9M][A-F0-9M][A-F0-9M][A-F0-9M].*

Explanation:
We are currently looking at controller 3 out of a possible total of 8 in
the Lutron GRX system system.
The square brackets contain all possible scenes for the controllers we
DO NOT care about. (this might not be the best way of representing this
comments welcome)

If interested in controller 4 one would move the capture indexes.
.*ss\s[A-F0-9M][A-F0-9M][A-F0-9M](0)?(1)?(2)?(3)?(4)?(5)?(6)?(7)?(8)?(9)?(A)?(B)?(C)?(D)?(E)?(F)?[A-F0-9M][A-F0-9M][A-F0-9M][A-F0-9M].*

See attached picture for setting up the feedback groups in Gui Designer.
Not had to use it yet so maybe some comments from Jarrod or fiasco or
fpillet (or anyone) about accuracy of regexes.

In regards to the attached spreadsheet: I copy and paste into notepad
(remove all the tab characters) and paste into your GUI. Remember to
save as ASV file as well.
Fiasco has a smart way of using feedback to limit the number of buttons
and commands used in a system (much more efficient).
Perhaps an example Fiasco?

One last thing:
You need advanced button properties for increasing or reducing the
intensities. (see lutron intensities worksheet/tab on attached spreadsheet)

Hope this helps

Hi,Nahshon

My name is Hiro from Green Works Japan.We install home automation system to residential people. 
I am interested in if you could control the Lutron Grafik Eye or not eventually.
Would you please let me know which processor did you use.

Actually, my company used to integrate Crestron to my client to control Lutron.
But I am thinking if we switch to CF product, because CF is much powerful, as you know.

So I am worried if CF can can not control Lutron...
This movie is, I control Lutron with Crestron CP2E. Of course APP is iViewer4.

Hiro,
I have been working on an iViewer module for complete Lutron control. My test device is a H4P5.
I have successfully implemented FTP retrieve of the XML that contains the Lutron program, and I can parse it to dinamically build keypads. It is currently in development stage and for testing purposes is atm limited to web keypads and Phantoms. Future plans are to develop a more granular control to serve as testing device as well, with abiity to control the individual dimmer zone, contact closure or relay output directly from an iOS device (very useful for debugging and testing of a system, and especially to work on third party installations where you don't have wirings).
I had planned to use this to enter the CF contest but alas work is heavy these days and I had to put this aside for some time.
In any case I am sure you can use iViewer for your Lutron controls: I have little experience in Grafik Eye control as it is not part of our common installation path, but I have successfully used the GRX-NWK-E interface for LAN control of Grafik Eye scenes (although the protocol and the level of integration are far from the 4 Series capabilities). Of course I am assuming you are not talking of the QS line of products, which I have just started to look at.
If you have some more specific questions, feel free to get in touch with me.

I used to control lutron grafik eye with crestron and CF very well, as it is possible to use CF alone to control Lutron GRX-NWK-E  perfectly as you will need to set up a system under your project having a several light and shade commands. just attach each command to a button and it will work fine and also a feedback can be set to check the state of the level of light and shade as well.

Hi Jordan,

I'm currently working with HomeworksQS here. Can you share your plugin with me?

Sergio,
as I have said I haven't worked with HomeWorks QS yet. My iViewer module is for HomeWorks Illumination.

Jordan,

I've looked into the XML files and they're not that different. Do you have any working project that controls Lutron dimmers? I couldn't get it to work.


Atenciosamente,

I have a working prototype but I wouldn't deploy it on the field without extensive testing.
Last time I checked the HWQS integration protocol it was very different from HomeWorks (Integration ID in place of physical device address such as [processor]:[link]:[keypad]:[button] for keypads or [processor]:[link]:[dimmer]:[zone] for dimmers).
Let me have a look at the documentation tomorrow and see if I can point you in the right direction.

All, some of my clients are interested in Lutron (QS series and Grafik Eye 3106) and they would like to integrate by Crestron.
Therefore I want to suggest CF product instead of Crestron.

I am happy if someone can share the module.(Is it js file?)
Regards,
Hiro
