Lutron’s most exciting smart home control system that won’t break your budget, and the many benefits of installing it in your Bay Area automated smart home.
Lutron’s RadioRA3 in your automated smart home is an advanced smart home lighting system designed for luxury homes. From the sleek Sunnata switches to the classic Maestro designs, RadioRA3 offers a variety of aesthetic options for switches, dimmers, keypads, and remotes. This system seamlessly connects and controls your Lutron lights, shades, and sensors, making it a perfect choice for large homes in Atherton. Its sophisticated controls and elegant keypads make it ideal for retrofitting existing lighting systems.
With the Lumaris tape light, adding layers of lighting in spaces like under cabinets, coves, and vanities becomes straightforward. This solution includes both LED tape and a controller built specifically for Lutron RadioRA3 and HomeWorks QSX systems. There’s no need for complex wiring or third-party integration — just beautiful accent lighting that you can control to suit any mood or occasion. The tape light’s design simplifies installation and ensures compatibility with the control system, eliminating common dimmer-to-driver issues. You can easily program the color temperature to match your home’s scenes using the Lutron or Savant smart home app.
One of the standout features of Lutron RadioRA3 is its compatibility with various smart home control systems. It integrates seamlessly with systems like URC, RTI, Elan, Crestron, Control4, Savant, Kaleidescape, and AMX. For voice control, it works with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Josh.ai. RadioRA 3 also connects with audio and temperature control solutions from Sonos, Honeywell, Ecobee, and more. Savant is particularly noteworthy for its full integration capabilities, including smart shades and Ketra lighting systems.
With this level of smart home system integration, while many systems offer some controls, Savant is the best in terms of full integration with other smart home systems such as smart shades, lighting systems that can be integrated with Ketra, and much more.
The Sunnata dimmer keypads designed for the Lutron RadioRA3 system are not only elegant but also highly customizable. Lutron RadioRa3 also offers customizable buttons with engraved etchings on them for your automated smart home. After installation, you can use temporary sticker labels to denote button functions, which can be easily changed later through simple programming when you order your final engraved keypads. These keypads, available in single or double gang options, allow you to control multiple scenes, including smart shades and lighting, with just a single button press. You can also add a dimmer switch to any keypad to adjust each scene to your preference. If you decide to change the setup later, replacement engraved keypads are inexpensive and easy to install.
If you love to experience the latest and greatest in smart home technology, convert your system to RadioRA3. You’ll enjoy all the newest Sunatta keypads, dimmers, and smart automated shades moving forward. However, the Lutron Homeworks system has quite a bit more functionality, but at a much higher cost. RadioRa3 requires you to have local controls (light switches) at each location, whereas HomeWorks is more of a centralized system, controlled from a single server rack mounted controller.
HomeWorks is considered Lutron’s most high-end and customizable home control system. Capable of wireless and wired system communication, HomeWorks is ideal for new builds where homeowners may want to wire their load control devices to one centralized location, like a basement or closet.
Because a centralized system design eliminates the need for local control devices in every space, homeowners can reduce wall switch locations that distract from their interior design and select the best wall keypad locations for convenient control of lights and climate.
HomeWorks supports up to 10,000 devices and coverage for up to 50,000 square feet, whereas RadioRa3 can only support up to 100 devices for your home. It also offers the widest range of elegant wall controls, which provides for much more complex and customized home designs. Additionally, HomeWorks is compatible with Ketra Tunable LED lighting so homeowners can take advantage of tunable white and colored light to energize and beautify their spaces.
Only certified Lutron dealers can install RadioRA3. With increasing demand expected towards the end of 2024 and into 2025, now is the perfect time to consider upgrading your existing RadioRA 2 system or starting a fresh installation in your automated Atherton or Palo Alto home.
