Lutron Blind Integration with C4

STEP 1: Reprogram the CCI8 board to allow for four zones of blinds OPEN/CLOSE/STOP. It will function look this:
CONTACT #1: OPEN ZONE 1 (STOP WHEN DOUBLE PRESSED)
CONTACT #2: CLOSE ZONE 1 (STOP WHEN DOUBLE PRESSED)
CONTACT #3: OPEN ZONE 2 (STOP WHEN DOUBLE PRESSED)
...etc...
How do you setup the CCI8 that way? Use this link: http://wiki.cytexone.com/display/pubdocs/QED+Lutron+Shade+Programming+Bible

STEP 2: In Composer use a Dual-Relay Blind
Set up the driver and bindings as shown here: http://wiki.cytexone.com/display/pubdocs/Control4+Blind+Screenshots

This will give the driver the ability to correctly control UP/DOWN/STOP. If the dealer wants the blinds to stop moving before they have hit their limits, it is best to measure the time it takes to get the blinds UP or DOWN from the opposite position and fire off a STOP command a second or two before they reach that. The issue will be that if the blind begins moving from a middle position, this 'timed out' approach will not work correctly. If the issue is to just virtually set limits, I would suggest they actually do it on the Lutron Hardware itself, by setting the limits a little short top and bottom.
