r/Lutron

Quoted some roller 100s and the price was too high for the customer. What other solution would you go with? Retrofit. Home has built in pockets and outlets on the ends.

I want a 1 gang switch with multiple features. A slider to control light intensity and a slider to control fan speed. The light on/off needs to be activated via switch. And the fan on/off should be controlled via the slider but an additional switch to control the fan is acceptable. A single switch should not control both the fan on/off and the light on/off, because then I can’t run the fan during the day while keeping my light dimness set for night time. The closest I’ve found is the Lutron Maestro fan control plus dimmer, but it does not have actual sliders. Just adjustability between discrete intervals, and in my experience these are laggy to adjust.

For the many of you that have reached out to us about the Palladiom drapery, it is here! Sorry we can't message everyone directly!

Ordering can hapen immediately. Shipping time right now is expected to be around 30 business days, ecept for Satin Nickel finish which is 60 business days.

For those wondering, Palladiom drapery runs on 35V power, no batteries. Swarovski crystal finial is not yet out. These can be wired comms or wireless. Expect a price around $5k for a track thats ~140", add about 50% for the Satin Nickel finish.

Reach out when you're ready to step up your drapery project!

Wanting some advice.

We are getting some shades and I noticed all the accessories we are getting through a dealer are significantly more than retail.

I.e Pico remotes are $70-$150 each instead of $40 via online retailers. Budget blinds are charging $40/remote.

If I want the Claro Wall Plates are all +$5-$8 each more than retail prices at Home Depot. Then added labor $70-80 per remote to install them on the walls.

Should we just buy them at retail and install them ourselves? Is there any difference for a pico remote between Serena, Triathlon or Palladiom? We are on a RA3 system.

Asking because the price discrepancies start adding up quickly. Tks.

Hello,

I have a second interview (as in, the one after the interview with the recruiter) coming up for a Technical Support Representative role, can anyone who’s done this before let me know what to expect? Will it be mostly behavioral or technical? Thanks in advance!

My Lutron Audio Pico Remote stopped working to control my Sonos. When I look in the Caseta app to maybe reauthorize the integration, Sonos does not appear in the list of available integrations.

We're trying to find pictures of the headrails to be able to compare these three honeycomb shades--the Caseta DIY, Serena Standard honeycomb shades, and Serena Architectural.

Does anyone have photos of the three headrails? Together or separate? Side profiles would be awesome. Thanks!

For those of you that don’t want Alexa, etc., but have Sonos, this may be life changing for you…

Doing a major renovation and planning for a 6’ × 6’ motorized skylight blind. Looking at Hunter Douglas but open to other high-end options.

I’m aiming for a really clean, flush built-in look, so I want to design the opening around the blind from the start.
Since the skylight won’t be easily accessible once everything is closed up, it feels like something worth investing in and getting right the first time.

Looking for brand recommendations and which to avoid (Amazon?) or tips on how to avoid trouble or regrets down the road (recess depth, electrical wiring, maintenance, access)

This part seems to be long obsolete, trying to help out a retired client who cant afford to upgrade the entire system that came with their condo. I have the hardware! if anyone has one kicking around that was never activated please reach out

I'm working on a project where the whole house was pre-wired with 16ga untwisted wiring (think the brown, solid-core stuff you'd use for a thermostat) to each window. The run back to the panels are less than 100ft - think this will be OK for a QSbus connection? The system in play is a QS (not QSX)

Hi all. I recently purchased a home and plan to do a full update of all switches to Lutron. Smart switches will be Caseta (it's not a very big house so coverage should be fine) and other switches will probably be Maestro.

I am also planning to change out outlets and toggle switches. Is it worth getting these from Lutron too? It seems like they can only be found thru distributors and not home improvement and hardware stores. If not from Lutron, then which store brand (Eaton, Leviton, Legrand, etc) would be the best match?

EDIT: should say QSX in title

Our installer is saying that no programming can happen with our new HomeWorks QSX system until all the keypads are physically in place.

Are they correct?

We’ve already spent the time working out what each button will do but they are saying they can’t do anything until all the keypads are installed. I know they have “registered” the keypads on the system but apparently can’t program remotely/off site.

Is this really the case?

Hello. I have a Ubiquiti network connecting my current house (already running a Lutron Caseta hub and several devices. I have a second cloud gateway and wide area networked my new house so both are on the same LAN. I tried adding a new Lutron Caseta hub at the new house and it says that I can't as I have reached the maximum number of Wireless Repeaters that can be supported (1).

I am wondering if there is anything I can do here shy of making a new network / segmenting these things off into a separate account and such.

Thanks in advance!

I'm doing a fairly substantial remodel and installing a HomeWorks system.

I haven't decided on shades yet, so I'd like to prewire now while the walls are (partially) open. I'm considering Lutron, Hunter Douglas, or whatever makes the most sense in a few years. I'm intentionally trying to avoid locking myself into a single shade ecosystem.

My current thought is to run one Cat6 (23 AWG) to each potential shade location. Depending on the eventual system:

• Multiple pairs could be paralleled to carry low-voltage power.
• If a window never gets a shade, the Cat6 could potentially be repurposed.
• It also seems possible that Ethernet/PoE-based shade solutions become more common in the future.

Is there a current best practice for future-proofing?

The obvious alternative would be dedicated low-voltage wiring such as 16/2 + 22/2 or perhaps Cat6 + 18/2.

What would you prewire in a new remodel if you wanted to keep your options open over the next 10–20 years?
