Let’s be honest. Our homes are becoming smarter by the day. Smart speakers, home security cameras, smart thermostats, and Lutron wireless lighting systems are all part of the revolutionary technology making our homes a little more energy-efficient.

Lutron Electronics, a privately held company headquartered in Coopersburg, PA, is a leading manufacturer of lighting control products and systems. Lutron Electronics designs and manufactures smart lighting control products, switches, dimming controls, and a whole home automation system customized to your needs.

Lutron home lighting systems integrate seamlessly with other home systems, from thermostats to your HVAC system, audio and visual appliances, and more. In this blog post, we explore the different home control solutions by Lutron (the Lutron Caséta, Ra2 Select, Radio Ra2, Radio Ra3, and Homeworks)

Lutron Caséta

The Lutron Caséta Smart Lighting Control is a mini wireless system for controlling the lights in a smaller space, like a single room. The system is compatible with both older and newer homes and integrates with the broadest variety of home technology. Lutron lighting control systems work with just about any dimmable bulb, and the Caséta is IP65 rated, so it’s impermeable to dust and bad weather.

Features

  • Supports up to 75 devices with the smart bridge
  • You do not need a programmer to set up the system; you can do the programming from the Lutron App
  • The geofencing feature automatically turns your lights on/off whenever you enter or leave the property
  • Voice-activation with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant
  • Easy mounting. No wall cutouts are required
  • Additional Lutron remote light options with the Pico remote control and the Caséta Wireless Smart Home App.
  • 10-year battery life

Smart lighting is the perfect way to make your indoor and outdoor space feel more welcoming and cozy.

The Lutron Caséta comes along with a security mode feature that turns the lights on and off to give the impression that you’re home even when you’re not. Plus, the Lutron smart switch options work with hundreds of bulbs, so you can choose the perfect light for any moment. Whether you’re settling in for a cozy night in or getting ready for a big night out, the Lutron Caséta has you covered.

Lutron Ra2 Select

Lutron RadioRA lighting and control systems like the Lutron RA2 Select offer support for up to 100 devices. That’s perfect for large homes that need smart lighting and shade control. The RA2 Select grants you the ability to select personalized lights and shades to give your home a unique and stylish look. You can also control the system with the Lutron App on your smartphone from anywhere around the world or simply mount the Pico remote for additional control.

Features

  • A full home control system, including light controls, fan controls, automated window shades, appliance controls, and temperature controls
  • Scheduled exterior lighting
  • Ward off potential intruders by automatically turning on the hallway lights and raising shades with the Alert button
  • Works with multiple lights and blinds around your home
  • Free Lutron App for additional control on your smartphone

The RA2 Select also allows you to set customized scenes to suit your mood with the Pico remote. Whether you want to relax with some soft lighting or set the mood with some energetic blue hues, the RA2 Select has you covered.

Homeowners are increasingly demanding energy-efficient homes. As part of this push, Lutron RadioRA lighting systems are becoming essential for keeping interiors cool and comfortable. The need for automated home shading is growing on account of the concern over the high energy consumption of air-conditioners, especially in the tropical climates of South Florida.

Direct sunlight also harms internal temperature, which can be managed with automated shade control. The RA2 Select can increase UV protection with automatically controlled home shades.

Lutron RadioRA2

Smart homes are nothing new, but they’ve become much more accessible recently. Smart home systems like the Lutron RadioRA 2 can make your home safer and more energy efficient, as well as give you a whole host of new features and abilities. Here’s what you should know about Lutron’s Radio RA2.

The Lutron RadioRA 2 is a more advanced system than the RA2 Select and Lutron Caséta, with a hotter suite of smart home controls that take over your home’s lighting, temperature, and appliance control.

  • Additional control with various types of remotes

  • Made to suit your lifestyle with preset timing and schedules and advanced scenes

Lutron RadioRA 3 is an upgraded version of Radio RA2. This is a much more powerful whole home control system that works with Lutron’s wireless shades and drapes to provide you with full control over your temperature and lighting at the touch of a button. The RadioRA 3 is powered by Lutron’s Clear Connect RF technology, which provides more efficient communication with other devices on a whole new level.

Lutron HomeWorks

The Lutron HomeWorks system is the most powerful home automated lighting control system that takes your lighting and temperature to the next level. It’s fully customizable to your needs, so you can control internal electrical lighting, natural lighting, blinds, and temperature all from one place.
