Lutron Vive BACnet (hub and area devices) BACnet points list
Updated 6 November 2026
The Vive hub speaks BACnet IP and acts as a virtual router: each area (usually a room) is a virtual BACnet device behind it. The hub device carries the master load-shed BV. Each area device exposes light level and on/off, occupancy state and mode, occupied/unoccupied levels, load-shed settings and lighting power.
This page lists 12 BACnet objects for the Lutron Vive BACnet (hub and area devices) — 9 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from Lutron’s own free documentation, linked below.

BMS integration notes: Lutron Vive BACnet (hub and area devices)
Each room is a virtual device behind its Vive hub. Command lights with BV 3 (on/off) or AV 2 (level), read occupancy (MV 8) and lighting power, and use the hub's BV 2 for building-wide load shed with each area's BV 12/AV 13 settings.
Minimum points to map
The short list most integrators start with — enough to run the unit from a BMS. Map more as the job needs.
| Object | Name | Why | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| BV 3 | Lighting State | Area lights on/off command and status | Write |
| AV 2 | Lighting Level | Area light level, 0-100 % | Write |
| MV 8 | Occupancy State | 1 Unoccupied, 2 Occupied, 4 Unknown | Read |
| AV 18 | Total Power | Present lighting power, W | Read |
Enable & remote start
BACnet IP is set up in the Vive hub configuration; there is no BMS enable point.
Network setup
- BACnet IP is embedded in the Vive hub; areas are virtual devices routed through it.
- The hub can register as a foreign device with a BBMD.
- No segmentation.
Watch out for
- Writing BV 2 sheds lighting in every area of that hub that allows load shed.
- Writing On to BV 3 drives dimmed loads to 100 %; use AV 2 to set a level instead.
Lutron Vive BACnet (hub and area devices) BACnet objects
Type: AI, AO, AV, BI, BO, BV, MI/MO/MV (multi-state) · Access: Read read-only, Write writable, Command writable with a priority array.
| Description | States | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BV | 2 | Master Load shed Enabled | Load shed for all areas of the hub (hub device only) | Write | 0=Disabled, 1=Enabled | |
| AVmin | 2 | Lighting Level | Highest light level in the area; writing sets all lights | % | Write | |
| BVmin | 3 | Lighting State | On if any light in the area is on; writable | Write | 0=Off, 1=On | |
| BV | 7 | Disable Occupancy | True = occupancy sensors ignored in the area | Write | 0=False, 1=True | |
| MVmin | 8 | Occupancy State | Area occupancy from its sensors | Read | 1=Unoccupied, 2=Occupied, 4=Unknown | |
| AV | 9 | Unoccupied Level | Dimmed level when the area goes unoccupied | % | Write | |
| AV | 10 | Occupied Level | Dimmed level when the area goes occupied | % | Write | |
| BV | 12 | Load shed Allowed | Whether this area takes part in load shed | Write | 0=No, 1=Yes | |
| AV | 13 | Load shed Goal | Light level reduction during load shed, 0-90 | % | Write | |
| MV | 14 | Occupancy Mode | How occupancy sensors control the lights | Write | 2=Automatic ON, Automatic OFF; 3=Manual ON, Automatic OFF; 4=Not Applicable (read-only); 5=Mixed (read-only) | |
| AVmin | 18 | Total Power | Present lighting power in the area | W | Read | |
| AV | 19 | Maximum Power | Connected lighting load of the area | W | Read |

Object ID lookup: Lutron Vive point IDs by name
Integration notes
- BV 2 Master Load shed Enabled is on the Vive hub device; all other objects are on each area virtual device. AV 2 and BV 2 are different object types on different devices.
- Device names come from the Vive configuration ({SystemName}, {AreaName}); each area's instance is the configured base number plus the area's device ID.
- The table prints the BV 2 name over two lines ('Master Load shed' / 'Enabled'); it is joined here.
- Occupancy Mode states 4 (Not Applicable) and 5 (Mixed) are read-only; writing them or state 1 returns a value out of range error.

Check it against the live device. A points list tells you what the controller can expose; the unit in front of you may differ by firmware or installed options. This list is provided as-is for reference only and may contain mistakes — confirming it before you write, map or commission anything is up to you (terms). Easy BACnet scans a network for BACnet IP devices from an Android phone, reads every object on the Vive BACnet (hub and area devices) and exports what it actually has to Excel — free. New to BACnet?

Questions about the Lutron Vive BACnet (hub and area devices)
How many BACnet points does the Lutron Vive BACnet (hub and area devices) have?
This list has 12 BACnet objects: 6 analog values, 4 binary values, 2 multi-state values. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.
Which Lutron Vive BACnet (hub and area devices) BACnet points are writable?
9 of the 12 objects accept a write. Points marked Command have a priority array: a write holds until it is released, so release it back to automatic when you are done.
Where is the official Lutron Vive BACnet (hub and area devices) BACnet documentation?
The source is BACnet PIC Statement for Vive (369996d), revision 2018-05-09, published free by Lutron at https://assets.lutron.com/a/documents/369996.pdf.
What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the Lutron Vive BACnet (hub and area devices)?
Start with BV 3 Lighting State (Area lights on/off command and status); AV 2 Lighting Level (Area light level, 0-100 %); MV 8 Occupancy State (1 Unoccupied, 2 Occupied, 4 Unknown); AV 18 Total Power (Present lighting power, W).
How do I enable BMS control of the Lutron Vive BACnet (hub and area devices)?
BACnet IP is set up in the Vive hub configuration; there is no BMS enable point.
How do I check these points on the real Vive BACnet (hub and area devices)?
Scan the network with a BACnet IP browser such as Easy BACnet, open the device and compare its object list with this table. Anything missing is usually an option that isn't installed or a point that is disabled in the controller's configuration.
