Caséta

Caséta is Lutron's entry-level, cost-effective solution, perfect for single rooms or small homes. It uses wireless communication, typically through the Lutron app or Pico remote, to manage up to 75 lights, shades, or other devices. However, it's important to note that Caséta's automation capabilities are relatively basic. When it comes to motorized shades, Caséta can adjust them according to your preferences, but it may not support more complex scenarios or conditional logic.

RadioRA 3

The RadioRA 3 wireless system can cover larger spaces, up to 7,500 square feet, and control 200 devices. For homeowners who want to manage their Lutron motorized shades alongside a comprehensive lighting control system, RadioRA 3 is an excellent choice. Its wireless technology is particularly advantageous when you cannot run wires through the walls. 

HomeWorks

For those with expansive estates or luxury homes, HomeWorks is the pinnacle of Lutron's control systems. It covers up to 50,000 square feet and 10,000 lighting zones. HomeWorks can provide precise and intricate control for Lutron motorized shades and lighting, making it the ultimate choice for large-scale applications. 

HomeWorks’ ability to combine wireless and wired communication ensures reliability and customization, and it excels where conditional logic is essential. Imagine your motorized shades responding intelligently to your actions, adjusting themselves based on the time of day or your preferences, such as setting the perfect ambiance for your return home at night.
