As we continue to grow, we strive to keep up with the newest and best technology on the market. My latest favorite is the Lutron RadioRA2 system. We have now completed the Lutron lighting programing and installation course. The first house is scheduled to get a Lutron switching make over in April.
What is Lutron? Lutron was the original inventor of the dimmer in 1959. Today they still make dimmers, but hold over 200 additional current patents for house hold and commercial controls.
The latest technology is the Lutron RadioRA2 system. The RadioRA2 system is designed as a total home system, for up to 8000 square feet. It can be fitted to new construction or retro fitted to an old building. Lights can be controlled in a number of different ways with the RadioRA2. Not only can you have a single button by your bed to turn all lights in the house off, but LED's can show you what lights were still on.
Not home? You can turn all your lights off from your Ipad, Iphone or car. In fact you can have access to all your light switches from your Iphone. From your Iphone you can even set timers to turn things on or off automatically.
There is a garage door opener style remote for your car, 3 button, 7 function. The programing options are unlimited, an example would be one button for "all lights off", "garage lights", and maybe a "pathway" button to turn on lights to the kitchen or to your most visited location when you arrive home.
The system can incorporate the house thermostat, occupancy sensors, infrared remote controls like universal TV remotes, and you can put small remote Lutron switches anywhere as extra three way switches or dimmers, without electrical boxes, wire or cutting holes. They fit flush inside a standard decora face plate, or on a table top, smaller than your remote starter FOB.
Lutron integrates flawlessly with: AMX, Control4, Creston Electronics, ELAN, HAI, HomeLogic, Lifeware, Netstreams, Philips, RTI, Savant, Universal Electronics, and Universal Remote Control. So you are not limited to any one company, however Lutron is leading the technology race.
Lutron also incorporates window shade controls in their systems. They are leading in this industry, they are the only ones on the market today that can provide blinds of different lengths (different roller diameters) that are geared to move at the same speeds as each other. There is a fine example of the shade control programing in this video here.
