the only app note out there is posted on the resi.lutron.com site. It isn't current but it will give you the basics on LHC+. The screenshots in this app note are out of date so take it with a grain of salt.
1 Remote access tips and tricks
Set up a VPN, that's all you've got with HWI.
2 Limitations, works with Global Scenes, etc?
You can only display 40 keypads, and you need to set that up in the HWI software. QS & RA2 do not require this, nor are they limited to 40 keypads.
3 Settings that should be made in software to best optimize use of the app. Cycle Dim, Double Tap, Etc.
Avoid Cycle Dim if you want to use Scene Saver. Scene Saver with the LHC+ app and HWI is a great thing. Cycle Dim will mean you can't use Scene Saver.
4 Which features work, and don't work, compared to HWQS or RA 2?
Long story short, light zone control and keypad emulation via HWI is possible with the app. You can turn the [roject timeclock on and off with HWI, and that isn't all that handy. QS and RA2 have a lot more features. If you have a dealer acct look for the app note, it will help you understand the differences.
Thanks,
