Lutron provides a number of features and elements that can make life better. Some of these are:

Lighting scenes: Lutron provides what we in the industry call "lighting scenes". This allows you to control paths of light or multiple areas with just one button push or voice command.

Example: You push a button at the front door and immediately, the pathway of light at the Front Door, Living Room, Hallway and into the Bedroom all turn on at 50% intensity.

Voice control: Who wants to get out of bed to turn the lights on? Use Alexa voice control with Lutron to make your lights behave.

Example: When you're leaving the house, say "Alexa...turn all the lights off." All of the lights that are on in the house now turn off instantly and easily! 

Elegance: The lighting keypads and wallplates in the Lutron Radio RA3 and Lutron Homeworks family provide an incredible range of colors, styles and decor to match your desired aesthetic.

Geofencing: Turn on the desired lights in your home or outside...by doing nothing!

Example: As you drive up to your dark house and driveway, your lights that illuminate your driveway, your Front Door and your Entryway AUTOMATICALLY turn on to make for a safe and comfortable arrival.

Green solution: Want to save money on your electric bill? Lighting control can be a part of this! In many instances, you don't need the lights to be on at full illumination. You may only need your lights to turn on at 60% intensity instead of 100% to fill a room appropriately. The ability of Lutron lghting systems to automatically turn your lights to the desired intensity can save you money if these lighting levels are below 100% (which they are in many cases).

Centralized lighting: If you DON'T want to see 24 lighting switches/dimmers in your Family Room, centralized lighting may be for you. The big benefit of centralized lighting systems is that your home can be wired during the pre-wire stage so ALL of your dimmers and switches are located in a central room or area. This cleans up the walls so you don't have dimmers and switches all over the place. Designers sometimes refer to the plethora of dimmerrs/switches as "wall acne." If you want to get rid of the wall acne, make your home designer friendly and create a wonderful aesthetic, this is a great feature.
