Types of Lutron Lighting Control Systems

Lutron offers a range of lighting control systems to suit different needs and preferences. The first type is the RadioRA 2 system, which provides wireless control of your lights. This system is ideal for retrofitting existing homes as it doesn't require any additional wiring. With RadioRA 2, you can control your lights from a convenient keypad or through a mobile app, giving you complete flexibility.

The second type of Lutron system is the HomeWorks. HomeWorks offers advanced lighting control capabilities for larger homes or properties. It’s a wired system, which often provides more reliability than wireless connections. HomeWorks integrates seamlessly with your existing smart home devices, providing a comprehensive home automation solution.

How Lutron Lighting Control Works

How you control your Lutron system is up to you. Dimmers and switches allow you to adjust the brightness of your lights manually or through automation. Keypads provide a convenient way to control multiple lights and create personalized lighting scenes for each area. Sensors detect motion or natural light and can trigger specific lighting actions, such as turning on lights when you enter a room or adjusting brightness based on the amount of natural light available.

Lutron systems can also be controlled using voice commands or through a mobile app, even when you're away from home. Lutron offers advanced scheduling options, allowing you to automate your lighting based on your daily routines or specific events.

Features & Functions of Lutron Lighting Control

Personalized Lighting Scenes

Lutron lighting systems allow you to create personalized lighting scenes for different activities or moods. For example, you can create a "Movie Night" scene that dims the lights the perfect amount, closes the shades, and sets the thermostat to the ideal temperature. Alternatively, you can create a "Morning Routine" scene that gradually increases the brightness in your bedroom to help you wake up gently. With Lutron, the possibilities are limitless.

Energy Efficiency

Lutron lighting is also designed with energy efficiency in mind. The ability to dim lights not only creates a comfortable ambiance but also reduces energy consumption. You can also set timers or occupancy sensors to ensure lights are turned off when not in use, further optimizing energy usage.

Smart Home Integration

Lutron lighting control seamlessly integrates with your existing smart home devices, offering a truly connected home experience. You can control your lights using voice commands through popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Josh.ai. Integration with other smart home systems, such as security cameras or thermostats, allows for enhanced automation and convenience.
