These motorized shades are designed for elegance, convenience, and integration with smart home technology, allowing you to manage your environment with precision and ease.
How It Works
- Centralized Processor: The RadioRA 3 system relies on a central processor, which acts as the brain, coordinating all connected devices.
- Wireless Components: Keypads, dimmers, switches, and sensors communicate wirelessly with the processor, ensuring flexibility in installation.
- User Control: Control the system via the Lutron app, wall-mounted keypads, Pico remote controls, or voice assistants.
- Motorized Mechanism: Each shade is powered by a quiet motor that is either battery-operated, hardwired, or powered via low-voltage wiring for flexibility in installation.
- Wireless Communication: Shades connect wirelessly to a Lutron control system, such as RadioRA 3 or Caséta, ensuring smooth operation and integration with other smart devices.
- User Interfaces: Control options include wall-mounted keypads, mobile apps, or even schedules and sensors that adjust shades based on time of day or ambient light conditions.

Key Features of Lutron Automated Shading
Lutron offers a variety of shade styles, including roller shades, honeycomb shades, drapery tracks, and Roman shades, to match diverse design aesthetics and functional needs.
Choose from a vast array of fabric options, including blackout, translucent, and sheer materials, to control light and privacy levels. Many fabrics are designed to reduce glare and block UV rays, protecting furniture and flooring from fading.
Lutron’s advanced motor technology ensures shades operate smoothly and almost silently, maintaining the ambiance of your space.
Lutron shades can be raised or lowered to precise positions for optimal light control. They can also be synchronized across multiple windows for uniform aesthetics.
Create schedules that automatically adjust shades throughout the day to maximize natural light, save energy, or enhance privacy. For example, shades can rise in the morning to let in sunlight and lower in the evening for privacy.
Lutron shades integrate seamlessly with smart home systems, including Lutron lighting control (such as RadioRA 3 or Caséta), HVAC, and voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit.
Automated shades help regulate indoor temperatures by blocking sunlight during hot hours or letting in warmth during cooler periods, reducing reliance on HVAC systems and lowering energy costs.
Operate shades from wall-mounted keypads, Pico remotes, the Lutron app, or via voice commands for ultimate convenience.
