Own a Smart System? Lutron Fits In Seamlessly 

Lutron’s motorized shades are arguably the best on the market. Available as roller shades, blinds, and drapes in countless fabrics, Lutron’s shades can be automated to follow specific schedules with whisper-quiet motors. 

But another benefit of Lutron shades is their ability to integrate with other home automation systems. If you already use a smart system like Savant or Control4, here’s what you can expect when you add Lutron shades.

Seamless Integration with Smart Homes 

Lutron shades can easily become part of your home’s larger ecosystem, offering greater control and customization. Whether you want to sync your shades with lighting, HVAC, or entertainment systems, the possibilities are endless. Imagine a single button press that lowers your shades, dims the lights, and starts your favorite movie—all from the same system.

Through this seamless integration, you can also set automated scenes that adjust your shades throughout the day. For example, wake up to natural sunlight with a “Morning” scene that gently raises the shades and turns on lights, and in the evening, switch to a “Goodnight” scene where the shades close for privacy, lights dim, and the thermostat adjusts for optimal sleep conditions. 

Automated Schedules for Energy Efficiency 

Lutron’s motorized shades are not only convenient—they also help manage your home’s energy consumption. By scheduling your shades to open or close based on the time of day or the sun’s intensity, you can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs. 

In the summer, shades can be programmed to lower automatically during peak sunlight hours, preventing excess heat from entering your home. Similarly, in winter, they can be set to rise during the day to capture warmth from the sun, reducing the need to crank the heating up. 

When paired with other smart systems like Control4 or Savant, you can further optimize energy savings by syncing your shades with thermostats and lighting. For instance, as the shades lower to block out afternoon sunlight, your lights can brighten slightly to maintain the perfect ambiance without overusing energy.

Enhanced Security and Privacy 

By incorporating Lutron shades in your smart system, you can program shades to follow specific schedules even when you're not home, giving the appearance that the house is occupied. This simple trick can deter potential intruders, providing an extra layer of security when you're on vacation or away for extended periods.

For even more advanced security, integrate your shades with your security system. With one tap on your smartphone, you can lower all the shades in your home and lock the doors. At night, automated “Away” scenes can secure the home by lowering all shades and activating exterior lighting, creating a robust security perimeter while maintaining privacy.
