Experience Whole-Home Automation That Adapts to Your Daily Life

The difference between basic automation and sophisticated, intelligent living lies in how effectively your home's lighting, shading, and other connected systems and devices work together. 

Lutron HomeWorks systems provide homeowners not only in Minneapolis/St. Paul but across the nation with integrated lighting control and motorized shading that responds to your lifestyle patterns rather than requiring constant manual adjustments.

Older and do-it-yourself solutions create management complexity through multiple apps, separate controls, and disconnected systems. Lutron HomeWorks eliminates this friction by creating a unified platform where lighting, shading, and other devices operate as one intelligent system. Your home anticipates needs and adapts automatically throughout the day. Learn more below.

Unified Lighting Control Creates Effortless Daily Experiences

Lutron HomeWorks QS and QSX systems integrate with Lutron motorized shades through a single control platform. Your keypads, mobile app, and voice commands manage settings simultaneously to craft scenes that adjust a single room or the entire property with one command.

A unified approach like this makes your morning routine effortless. A "Good Morning" scene raises bedroom shades to welcome natural light while gradually brightening bedside lamps to ease your transition from sleep. Kitchen lights adjust to complement daylight streaming through automated shades, creating optimal task lighting for breakfast preparation.

Evening entertainment becomes equally simple. A "Movie Night" scene lowers blackout shades throughout your media room while dimming recessed lights to theater-appropriate levels. Accent lighting remains at minimal brightness to provide subtle navigation without screen glare.

Business professionals working from home benefit from "Focus Mode" scenes that adjust office shades to eliminate screen glare while maintaining bright task lighting. When video calls begin, the system automatically optimizes natural and artificial light to ensure a professional appearance on camera.

Personalized Scenes Coordinate Multiple Home Systems

The power of Lutron HomeWorks lies in its ability to create complex, personalized scenes that coordinate multiple home systems. Each scene can adjust dozens of lighting zones and shading groups simultaneously, allowing you to tailor each room to your specific activities or the time of day.

A "Dinner Party" scene dims dining room chandeliers to enhance conversation while raising shades partially to maintain outdoor views. Kitchen task lighting brightens to support food preparation while living room accent lights create a welcoming ambiance for guests.

Weekend relaxation improves with a “Wind Down" scene that positions library shades to prevent book glare while adjusting nearby floor lamps to optimal reading brightness. Your favorite reading chair becomes perfectly illuminated without harsh shadows or eye strain.

"Bedtime" scenes gradually lower lights throughout the house while closing all shades for privacy and darkness. Bathroom vanity lights dim to minimal levels for nighttime navigation, while bedroom blackout shades make the room entirely dark for quality sleep.

Light Harvesting Technology Optimizes Energy and Comfort

Lutron’s lighting control systems also include advanced light harvesting capabilities. This uses daylight sensors to continuously monitor natural light levels, then makes automated adjustments to shades and indoor lighting to maintain consistent brightness levels. Your living spaces look great, feel comfortable, and maximize energy efficiency without a second thought.

During bright summer days, the system raises shades to capture maximum natural light while dimming electric lights to maintain comfortable ambient levels. Spaces remain perfectly lit without wasting energy on unnecessary artificial lighting, and electric bills decrease significantly as the system reduces lighting loads during peak daylight hours.

Winter months bring different challenges because shorter days and overcast skies reduce natural light availability. The harvesting system detects these conditions and gradually increases indoor lighting while adjusting shades to capture available natural light. Your home maintains consistent brightness regardless of weather conditions.
