Lutron Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to rewire my house for Lutron?

For Caseta: no — it’s wireless and uses existing wiring. For RadioRA: also no rewire, but keypads replace existing switches. For HomeWorks: new construction yes, in retrofits we typically use RadioRA instead.

Will Lutron work with my Control4 system?

Yes. Lutron is the most commonly integrated lighting platform with Control4. They work together natively — Control4 scenes trigger Lutron lighting changes seamlessly.

Can I add Lutron gradually?

Yes. Caseta and RadioRA are modular — start with the kitchen and primary bedroom, add more rooms later. The system is designed to grow with you.

How long do Lutron systems last?

We routinely service Lutron HomeWorks installs from the early 2000s that are still flawless. 15-20+ year lifespans are normal.

Why Lutron, and Which Lutron

RadioRA 3, HomeWorks, and Shades — Specified for the House You Actually Have

Lutron makes three very different systems, and the most common mistake we see in Cincinnati homes is the wrong one. Caséta is the entry point: a handful of smart dimmers and a bridge, good for a condo or a few rooms. RadioRA 3 is what most of our retrofit clients in Hyde Park, Montgomery, and Anderson Township end up with — wireless dimmers that swap into existing boxes, engraved keypads, and Lutron shades all on one processor, without opening a single wall. HomeWorks is the centralized system for large homes and new construction, where lighting loads are wired back to panels and every circuit is dimmable and programmable from the first day.

When a builder in Mason or Indian Hill hands us a lighting plan, we design the panel schedule, coordinate with the electrician, and commission the system ourselves. That also matters five years later when you want to add shades to the primary bedroom — same integrator, same processor, no starting over.

Lutron shades are the part people underestimate. They run on the same system as the lights, so “Goodnight” closes the bedroom, “Movie” drops the family room, and an astronomic clock tracks sunrise and sunset through the year. Paired with tunable DMF or ProLuxe fixtures, the house shifts from bright and cool at breakfast to warm and low by dinner without anyone touching a keypad — which, in a gray Ohio February, is the feature clients mention most.

Lutron Questions

Lutron Installer FAQs

Caséta, RadioRA 3, or HomeWorks — which do I need?

Caséta for a few rooms or a condo. RadioRA 3 for most finished homes — it retrofits without new wiring and supports keypads and shades. HomeWorks for new construction or large homes where centralized panels make sense. We will tell you honestly which one fits.

What does a Lutron system cost in Cincinnati?

Starter Lutron Caséta systems start around $2,500 installed. A whole-home Lutron RadioRA or HomeWorks system with keypads, dimmers, and shade integration generally runs $10,000 to $40,000 or more. Motorized shades start around $900 per window. Full ranges are on our pricing page.

Can you add Lutron to a house that already has some smart switches?

Usually. We replace the mixed switches with Lutron dimmers so the whole house runs on one system and one app, and integrate the rest through Control4 or Josh.ai.

Does Lutron work with Control4 and Josh.ai?

Yes — Lutron is the lighting layer inside most of the Control4 and Josh.ai systems we install. Voice, scenes, and schedules all pass through.

How long does a Lutron install take?

A RadioRA 3 retrofit in the main rooms: one to three days. A whole-home HomeWorks system in a new build: rough-in during framing, then two to four weeks of trim and programming alongside the electrician.
