Robust and Reliable API

Lutron’s advanced Application Programming Interface (API) enables seamless integration with third-party devices and systems. This integration allows for complex automation scenes, made simple for the user. With this technology, lighting, shades, climate control, security, and entertainment devices work seamlessly together with the touch of a button. 

Advanced Scene Control

Customizable scenes elevate the everyday. From dining to relaxing and entertaining, tapping a button on an elegant keypad or touchscreen transforms your home’s lighting, shades, and entertainment into the ideal settings. 

Would you like your outdoor lights to brighten to the colors of the Caribbean Sea, and your interior shades to open, revealing its stunning beauty? How about streaming upbeat Calypso music through your outdoor audio system? Just press “Outdoor Entertainment.”

Geo-Fencing

Using your smartphone’s location, Lutron utilizes geo-fencing to adjust settings based on your location. When you leave, it can activate your lights to turn off and the shades to lower. When you return, the landscape and entryway lights illuminate, ensuring you always come back to a well-lit home. 

Time-of-Day Automation

Automated schedules always ensure the ideal level of natural and artificial light. For instance, we can program the system to open the shades at dawn and turn on specific lights in varying intensities and hues. Midday, South-facing shades lower to reduce heat gain and UV damage. When darkness arrives, the remaining shades lower for privacy, and the lights brighten. 

Circadian Lighting

Ketra’s human-centric lighting brings interior lights that mirror natural light. Throughout the day, your lights change, reflecting the hue and intensity of the world outside your windows. 

This technology brings a sense of sunlight filling your home during the day and a warm sunset glow embracing it in the evening. Not only is it beautiful, but it also realigns your circadian rhythm, a system set by sunlight and darkness. In response, you experience a more restful sleep and a more energetic day.

Aesthetically Pleasing

Lutron is known for its sophisticated wall aesthetics and limitless offerings in stylish fixtures and motorized window coverings. The custom keypads, Palladiom and Alisse, represent signature, luxury lines known for their sleek, modern aesthetics.
