Lutron Smart Lighting Installation — Dallas-Fort Worth TX

Lutron Product Lines We Install in Dallas-Fort Worth

CET installs the complete Lutron residential lineup — from entry-level Caseta to estate-grade HomeWorks QSX. Every system uses Lutron’s patented Clear Connect RF wireless technology, which means zero interference with Wi-Fi routers, baby monitors, microwaves, or Bluetooth devices. Here is what each product line offers DFW homeowners.

Lutron Caseta — Smart Lighting for Every DFW Home ($500 – $7,000)

Caseta is the entry point to Lutron quality and the system CET installs most often in Rockwall, McKinney, Allen, and Caddo Mills. Caseta uses the same Clear Connect RF technology as Lutron’s commercial products, just in a simpler package designed for homeowner-friendly operation.

• No neutral wire required — works in DFW homes built before 2005 where most switches lack a neutral wire. Most competing smart dimmers (Leviton, GE Cync, Inovelli) require a neutral or an adapter.
• Pico wireless remotes — battery-powered remotes that mount anywhere with no wiring. Perfect for adding a switch at a bedroom door or beside a recliner. Battery lasts 10+ years.
• Smart Bridge or Smart Bridge Pro — the hub that connects Caseta to your phone, Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Sonos, SmartThings, and IFTTT. Pro version adds Telnet integration for Control4 and Savant dealers.
• Occupancy and vacancy sensors — Caseta motion sensors turn lights on when you enter a room and off when you leave. Saves energy in hallways, bathrooms, closets, laundry rooms, and garages.
• Lamp dimmers and outdoor plug-in modules — control table lamps and outdoor holiday lighting from the Lutron app or voice assistant.
• Up to 75 devices per system — enough for most 3–5 bedroom DFW homes.

Typical CET Caseta installation: a 4-bedroom home in Rockwall with 20 dimmers, 10 Pico remotes, 3 occupancy sensors, and a Smart Bridge Pro — $4,500–$6,000 installed and fully programmed with custom scenes.

Lutron RadioRA 3 — Whole-Home Luxury for DFW Custom Homes ($5,000 – $35,000+)

RadioRA 3 is Lutron’s professional-grade residential system and the product CET recommends for new construction, major renovations, and luxury homes in Heath, Frisco, Prosper, Preston Hollow, Highland Park, and University Park. RadioRA 3 replaced RadioRA 2 in 2022 and uses Lutron’s newest Clear Connect Type X RF protocol with two-way communication — the system confirms every command was received and executed.

• 200+ devices per system — dimmers, switches, keypads, motorized shades, occupancy sensors, temperature sensors, and HVAC interfaces.
• Sunnata keypads — Lutron’s premium touch keypads with customizable button engraving. Each button triggers a scene: “Entertain” sets living room to 80%, dining to 60%, and exterior landscape lights to full. CET programs every scene at installation.
• Sunnata touch dimmers — elegant touch-sensitive dimmers with an LED light bar showing dimming level. Available in 30+ colors and finishes to match any DFW interior design.
• Full integration — RadioRA 3 connects natively with Control4, Savant, Crestron, Josh.ai, Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and Sonos. CET ties your Lutron lighting into your audio/video system, security cameras, thermostat, and motorized shades for true whole-home automation.
• Lutron Designer software — CET programs RadioRA 3 using Lutron’s professional software. Homeowners control everything through the Lutron app on their phone.

Typical CET RadioRA 3 installation: a 5,000 sq ft home in Heath with 45 dimmers, 12 Sunnata keypads, 8 motorized shades, 6 occupancy sensors, and full Sonos integration — $18,000–$25,000 installed.

Lutron HomeWorks QSX — Estate-Level Lighting ($15,000 – $50,000+)

HomeWorks QSX is Lutron’s flagship system, designed for estates, mansions, and high-end commercial spaces. CET has installed HomeWorks systems in Preston Hollow estates, Highland Park mansions, and custom lakefront homes in Heath and Rockwall.

• Unlimited device capacity — supports thousands of zones across multiple buildings, guest houses, pool houses, and outdoor structures.
• Palladiom keypads — Lutron’s most premium keypad line. Flush-mount, glass-face, metal-finish options. Available in architectural bronze, satin nickel, polished chrome, and custom finishes.
• Wired + wireless hybrid — HomeWorks QSX supports both hardwired (for new construction) and wireless (for retrofit) devices on the same system. Ideal for DFW historic renovations in Highland Park and University Park.
• GRAFIK T dimmer panels — centralized dimmer panels that mount in a closet or utility room, keeping bulky dimmer hardware out of sight.
• Astronomical time clock — automatically adjusts outdoor and landscape lighting based on actual sunrise/sunset times in Dallas-Fort Worth. No seasonal reprogramming needed.
• Enterprise-grade reliability — HomeWorks QSX uses a wired QS backbone for guaranteed performance. Used in high-end hotels, museums, and corporate headquarters worldwide.

Lutron Motorized Shades — Light Control Beyond Dimmers

Lutron makes the most reliable motorized window treatments in the industry. CET measures, orders, installs, and programs every shade system we sell. All Lutron shades integrate seamlessly with Caseta, RadioRA 3, and HomeWorks QSX for unified light control.

• Serena shades — Lutron’s most popular motorized shade line. 300+ fabrics, battery-powered (no wiring needed), and compatible with Caseta and RadioRA 3. Perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and media rooms in existing DFW homes.
• Sivoia QS Triathlon — professional-grade motorized shades for RadioRA 3 and HomeWorks QSX systems. Available in roller, honeycomb, Roman, and drapery styles. Hardwired or battery-powered. The shade CET recommends for new construction and major renovations.
• Palladiom Wire-Free — Lutron’s premium roller shade with a cassette headrail that hides the roller. Rechargeable battery. Completely wireless installation — no electrician needed.

CET handles the entire motorized shade process: in-home measurement, fabric selection, ordering directly from Lutron, professional installation, and programming into your lighting scenes. “Good Morning” opens the shades, raises bedroom lights to 50%, and adjusts the thermostat — all from one keypad press or voice command.

Lutron Keypads, Pico Remotes, and Sensors

The hardware that makes Lutron feel different from every other smart lighting system:

• Pico remotes — wireless battery-powered remotes (10-year battery life) that mount on any wall with a wallplate bracket. No wiring. Add a light switch to any location — next to your recliner, inside a closet, on a nightstand. CET includes Pico remotes in every Caseta installation.
• Sunnata keypads (RadioRA 3) — programmable multi-button keypads with custom-engraved labels. One button controls an entire room or an entire floor. CET programs scenes like “Movie Night,” “Cooking,” “Bedtime,” and “All Off.”
• Palladiom keypads (HomeWorks) — architectural-grade metal and glass keypads for luxury installations. Available in 15+ finishes.
• Occupancy/vacancy sensors — Lutron’s ceiling-mount and wall-mount sensors detect motion using passive infrared (PIR) and dual-technology (PIR + ultrasonic). CET installs these in hallways, bathrooms, closets, garages, and utility rooms to reduce energy waste.

Lutron App and Voice Control — Every Platform Supported

Every Lutron system CET installs includes full app and voice control. The Lutron app (iOS and Android) provides real-time control of every light, shade, and scene from anywhere — at home or away. Set schedules, create scenes, monitor energy usage, and adjust dimming levels from your phone.

Voice assistant integration:

• Amazon Alexa — “Alexa, set living room to 50%.” Full room and scene control.
• Google Home / Google Assistant — “Hey Google, turn on dinner mode.” Works with Caseta, RadioRA 3, and HomeWorks.
• Apple HomeKit / Siri — “Hey Siri, good night.” Native HomeKit integration for Caseta. RadioRA 3 connects via Apple Home bridge.
• Sonos — Lutron integrates with Sonos speakers so a single scene triggers both lighting and music. “Movie Night” dims the lights and starts your Sonos surround sound.
• Josh.ai — premium voice control for luxury homes. Natural language processing. “Josh, make it romantic in the dining room.” CET installs Josh.ai alongside RadioRA 3 and HomeWorks in Preston Hollow and Highland Park estates.
