Lutron, answered
What we hear most from Utah homeowners, builders and designers about Lutron.
Lutron and AudioWorks
Is AudioWorks a Lutron dealer in Utah?
Yes. AudioWorks is a Lutron dealer in Salt Lake City, and we have outfitted Utah homes with technology since 1980. We design, install and program Lutron HomeWorks, Lutron shades and Ketra, Rania and Lumaris light across the Wasatch Front, Park City and Southern Utah.
What is Lutron HomeWorks?
HomeWorks is Lutron's top system for the home. It runs Lutron's lights, shades and keypads as one system, over Lutron's own wireless signal and wire, apart from your Wi-Fi. Lutron says it covers homes of more than 50,000 square feet and up to 10,000 zones.
What does AudioWorks do on a HomeWorks job?
We design the system, supply and install the processors and panels, run the keypad wire and program every scene. Your electrician runs the line-voltage wiring and installs the keypads and dimmers we supply. We engrave each button with what it does, such as Evening or All Off.
Do you work in Park City and Southern Utah?
Yes. We work across the Wasatch Front, in Park City and Heber, and in Southern Utah, including St. George, Santa Clara and Ivins. Put the city on the form and we plan the visit.
Keypads
Which Lutron keypads work with HomeWorks?
Palladiom, Alisse and Aviena run only on HomeWorks. Sunnata and seeTouch run on HomeWorks and on RadioRA 3. Pico remotes work on HomeWorks, RadioRA 3 and Caséta.
What is the difference between Palladiom, Alisse and Aviena?
Palladiom has flush buttons and a faceplate in one matching finish, in metal, matte or glass. Alisse has round buttons ringed by a thin glowing halo, milled from solid brass and finished by hand. Aviena has a weighted mechanical toggle, hand-finished in solid brass.
Can I get Palladiom or Alisse keypads on RadioRA 3?
No. Lutron makes Palladiom, Alisse and Aviena for HomeWorks only. On RadioRA 3, the keypads are Sunnata and seeTouch. For the HomeWorks keypads, we plan a move to HomeWorks.
Can a keypad button say what I want it to say?
Yes. We engrave each button with what it does for you, such as Relax, Evening or All Off, never the name of a fixture. Most rooms get four buttons or fewer. We settle the names with you before we order.
Shades
What is the difference between Sivoia QS and Palladiom shades?
Sivoia QS is Lutron's widest shade line, with rollers, drapery and hundreds of fabrics. Palladiom shades put the hardware on show, with brackets and hembars milled from solid aluminum or brass and finished by hand. Both run on HomeWorks with the lights and keypads.
How quiet are Lutron shades?
Lutron rates Sivoia QS roller shades at less than 44 dBA at three feet. Lutron rates the wired Palladiom roller shade at less than 35 dBA at three feet. Lutron also keeps the hembars of a group of Sivoia shades level within 1/8 inch.
Can Lutron shades black out a bedroom?
Yes. With an opaque fabric, Lutron runs the shade edges in side channels lined with pile, which blocks the light at the sides. Tell us which rooms need full dark, and we plan for it.
Ketra, Rania and Lumaris
What is Ketra lighting?
Ketra is Lutron's natural-light source. It tunes from 1,400K to 10,000K, can follow the color and brightness of the sun through the day, and can show millions of colors. It works with HomeWorks.
What is the difference between Ketra, Rania and Lumaris?
Ketra has the widest range, from 1,400K to 10,000K, and full color. Rania tunes from 1,800K to 5,500K and is made to work with HomeWorks. Lumaris combines tunable white and warm dim from 1,800K to 4,000K, in downlights and tape light, and dims to 0.1 percent.
Lutron already in your home
Is Lutron HomeWorks QS still supported?
Lutron retired HomeWorks QS in December 2024, and its security updates end in December 2026. Lutron's upgrade is the current HomeWorks processor, and Lutron makes a translator that lets older panels run on it. We read your system and tell you what carries over.
Can RadioRA 2 be upgraded to RadioRA 3?
Yes. Lutron retired RadioRA 2 in June 2023, and its upgrade is the RadioRA 3 processor in place of the Main Repeater. Maestro dimmers, seeTouch keypads, Pico remotes, sensors and wireless Sivoia QS shades stay. GRAFIK T controls, GRAFIK Eye QS and the TouchPro and seeTemp thermostats do not.
What happens to a HomeWorks Illumination system?
Illumination came before HomeWorks QS, and Lutron's path for it is the current HomeWorks system. The wiring in the walls can stay. We replace the keypads and power supplies, so you choose new keypads as part of the move.
Do you service Lutron systems another company installed?
Yes. We service and expand Lutron systems other companies put in, from HomeWorks QS to RadioRA 3 and Sivoia QS shades. Tell us what you have and what it is doing, and we come take a look.
Cost
How much does a Lutron HomeWorks system cost?
We quote after we see the plans or the system on the wall. The number of rooms, keypads and shades, the fixtures and the finishes set the price. Call 801-364-9999 or send us the project, and we come back with a real number.
Still have a question?
Building or remodeling, tell us about the home. Lutron on the walls already, check your system or send it to us.
