Question 1

What is the difference between Lutron Caséta and RadioRA?

Accepted Answer

Lutron Caséta is a DIY-friendly system perfect for smaller homes or single-room installations. RadioRA is a professional-grade system with more advanced features, higher capacity (up to 200 devices), and seamless Control4 integration. RadioRA is ideal for whole-home automation in larger residences.

Question 2

What is Ketra tunable white lighting?

Accepted Answer

Ketra is Lutron's premium LED technology that adjusts color temperature throughout the day to match natural sunlight. Cool, energizing light in the morning shifts to warm, relaxing tones in the evening. This supports your circadian rhythm, improves sleep quality, and enhances overall well-being.

Question 3

Can smart lighting save on electricity costs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Automated lighting eliminates wasted energy from lights left on in empty rooms. Occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting (dimming artificial lights when natural light is available), and LED fixtures can reduce lighting energy consumption by 60 to 80%. In Colorado, where electricity costs are moderate, annual savings can be substantial.

Question 4

Do smart thermostats really make a difference?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Smart thermostats like Nest and Ecobee learn your schedule, adjust temperatures when you are away, and optimize heating/cooling cycles. In Colorado's climate with hot summers and cold winters, homeowners typically save 10 to 20% on HVAC costs. When integrated with Control4, thermostats adjust automatically with scenes like 'Good Night' or 'Away from Home.'

Question 5

Can I program different lighting scenes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We create custom scenes for your daily routine: 'Morning' (gradual lights to wake up), 'Daytime' (bright task lighting), 'Evening' (warm, relaxing tones), 'Movie' (dim lights for theater mode), 'Bedtime' (lights off, nightlights on). Scenes can trigger with a button press, voice command, or automatically based on time or occupancy.
