Cloud Services
Project Account Authorization
Athena systems are associated with a single Lutron account setup in the app. Multiple users will be able to
access a single Athena system with individual myLutron accounts in a future update.
Software Updates
Athena system software can receive updates via the cloud for new features and improvements. Certain
new features may require on-site setup, configuration, or hardware additions. For systems without Internet
access, systems can be updated by a Lutron Field Service Engineer visit.
Simple Connectivity
If the Athena system is connected the internet, you can access the system via the Lutron app as long as
your device has an internet connection. For more information on how Athena connects to the cloud, go to

Service and Support
In the event of an issue with the system, Lutron can remotely gather diagnostic information (if granted
permission) for the internet-connected Athena system and may be able to resolve the issue without requiring
an on-site visit.
Third-Party Integration
The Athena system cloud connection allows for cloud-based integrations such as voice control with third-
party systems.
