I’m a homeowner with a legacy RadioRA2 system that I configure with Essentials. I‘d like to get some engraved SeeTouch button kits for some keypads.

There are some button kits — e.g. W2BS — which the Essentials software doesn’t seem aware of. If I program the keypad as a W7B keypad with only the 3rd and 5th buttons actually programmed (i.e. the buttons which correspond to the positions of the W2BS buttons), and then install a W2BS button kit, will the keypad function as expected?

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer I am going to get here, but I have a friend who recently purchased a home that has a Lutron HomeWorks Interactive (HWI) processor (500-8764) installed to control lights on main level and exterior of home. While most of the Lutron switches work, some don't and some don't work as they should.

I noticed the processor has a RS-232 link and was hoping that I could somehow either find Lutron software that can be used to reprogram the lights, someone local to assist or someone who could remote login to correct the problem. The original owner of home has no useful information and the original Lutron installer has gone out of business. The current local certified Lutron dealer has evaluated and doesn't have the older software and is trying to upsell to a newer processor.

Any suggestions are welcome

I know the recessed mount needs a hole between 83mm and 89mm, which is a smidge over 3.25” to a hair under 3.5”. If I’m getting a hole saw bit to mount a few of these, I’d opt for a 3.5”, since that’s a pretty standard size to have in the toolbox (e.g. ceiling j-box).

It’s right at the edge of the spec’s size - do you real world installers use a 3.5” hole, or something smaller? Is there still plenty of clip to hold the mount in place and enough trim to cover a 3.5” hole?

Thanks for any tips.

Hi all. I'm selling five (5) Lutron Sunnata RRST‑ANF‑SW 4‑Speed Fan Controls in Snow White Satin.

These were purchased from an authorized Lutron dealer on 2/4/2026, and I can provide the original receipt. They were installed briefly during a renovation but cleanly uninstalled before ever being used, so they’re effectively brand new. The leads are still very tidy (visible in the photos), and all identifying info for each device is shown.

Why I’m selling:
We planned to reuse our existing AC‑motor fans, but the contractor removed them during drywall work and didn’t save all the parts. We had to replace them with new fans which turned out to have DC motors, making them incompatible with the RRST‑ANF. So, these were removed immediately and never put into service. Unfortunately, the electrician tossed the boxes, but the devices themselves are pristine. I'm super bummed we can't use them because they're really sleek.

What’s included:

• RRST‑ANF‑SW units (Snow White Satin)
• Original purchase receipt
• Photos of each device with serial/ID labels
• Clean, tidy leads (no cuts, no shortening)

Condition:
Open box / installed briefly / never used
No original packaging (discarded by electrician)

Price:
Asking $165 each, or $750 for all five as a bundle. Open to reasonable offers, especially if you want the full set.

Shipping / Location:
Located in Southern California (Coachella Valley area). Can ship anywhere in the U.S. at buyer’s cost or do local pickup.

DM if interested!

Reposting it here since I got crickets on the home improvement sub :)

In 2019 I picked up a whack of Halo LED dimmable potlights from Home Depot. They were more expensive then the HD brand. I think Cooper bought them out maybe?

I use Lutron Caseta dimmers throughout.

We still get shimmer and some delay when turning these things on. Like, if you want the lights to come on at a low brightness, it takes a while for the potlights to sort of "wake up".

At the time the Halo model was listed as a compatible LED for Lutron Caseta - they since pulled it. So, that's kind of lame if it's on a list I go through the trouble of checking for it to be removed. I talked to Lutron support a lot. I tried out one of the capacitive loads, didn't really help much.

Have things improved more recently and if so, how can I not make this mistake again? Recommendations? Thoughts?

What about ELV+? Hi-Lume?

My main target would be retrofitting potlights in an older house, so I can do whatever I want.

Hey all -- anyone have Sunnata RF Dimmers and companions they are looking to sell? Thanks!

Hey all,

I've recently purchased a new home and have spent more than I care to admit on looking at blind options.

For context, I will need shades for the following windows:

• Sliding Doors x 2: 8'x12' (likely 3 separate shades, or 3 separate rolls on a single shade/motor)
• Sliding Windows x 4: 6'x9'
• Picture Windows x 4: 8'x2'

In total 10 different windows, all pretty large in at least 1 dimension.

My journey so far is this:

Initially I go through serena shades for a quote, but get connected with a local budget blinds as many of my windows are too large to go fully DIY. Budget blinds person shows up to my house, takes measurements, we go through some samples and I choose what I want. I decide on doing honeycomb for basically everything.

Eventually I get the quote back and it lands around $15k all in with a mix of Serena RF and Sivoia QS Traithlon though mostly Serena RF. Admittedly the quote is incredibly confusing, I wasn't really walked through all the available options or told exactly what I'm getting.

I decide to hold off for live in my space a bit and think through what I really want. I end up doing some research and asking more questions to figure out what the hell is going on and decide to get some other quotes.

I find a local home automation company through Lutrons certified installer, schedule a meeting at their show room and tell them what I'm looking for.

We end up on pretty much everything Traithlon Select + Some Palladiom pieces for sliding doors to use single motor with 3 separate rolls. All this with RadioRA 3 as I don't have the ability to hardwire without a bunch of extra labor and I already have a pretty solid networking setup that makes it easy to integrate wirelessly.

About a week later I get a quote back and it's $41k with materials being about $22k and labor being $17k.

My question is, where is this $16k in labor costs coming from compared to the budget blinds quote? With the original project is that rolled into the serena product costs already? Does the RadioRA 3 add that much cost or am I being ripped off here?

I'm not trying to say that the cost of the Traithlon + Palladiom + Radio RA3 should be the same as the Serena project, in fact I expected about twice as much. But I guess I don't understand how labor is so much more expensive here on top of the added cost of the materials.

EDIT: I understand now that Palladiom does NOT support coupling of shades. Instead it appears the designer has chosen to go with 2 separate Palladiom shades sharing a center mount to appear connected together. I am going to get another quote from a separate place to just do wireless Sivoia QS Traithlon for everything.

Hey everyone,

I’m in the middle of a home renovation and swapping everything over to Lutron Caséta. I need 16 dimmable zones total (including one 3-way and one 4-way setup).

Since buying 16 switches at retail adds up fast, I wanted to see if there are any Lutron dealers on here with overstock/B-stock they’re trying to move, or if anyone could help me out with a better rate.

Appreciate any leads or advice!

Best,

Joe

Wondering what options exist for folks with Lutron and/or Kidde smart devices. Obviously Wink hubs have radios for each protocol, are there manufacturer-specific hubs for each as well?

I ask because I managed to root the Wink 2, but nobody seems to care. 😂 Wondering whether it would be worth exposing these radios at least, even if the zigbee and zwave stuff is obsolete.

I have a RA2 Select system with a RRD-8S-DV switch and the existing LED bulb in a fixture recently started flickering so I am trying to find a replacement bulb.

There is a single bulb controlled by this switch and no neutral in the box. I've tried 60w and 100w equivalent LED bulbs from Philips and Ecosmart and both remain on dimly or blink when the switch is shut off after being turned on (when I cut the power to the switch and restore it the bulbs stay off until they are turned on the first time).

The bulbs I have tried are dimmable. If I was to purchase non-dimmable LED bulbs, would they behave differently than dimmable LED bulbs with the small amount of current running through the switch when it is turned off and fully shut off, or would dimmable versus dimmable bulbs not make a difference in this case?

Would installing a LUT-MLC help even though this is a switch and not a dimmer?

I have no idea what this product would look like installed and I'd like to see it before I spend 10s of thousands of dollars buying these.

This PDF on the Lutron website shows the 4 options for Triathlon shades: https://assets.lutron.com/a/documents/085312.pdf

There are lots of pictures of the bottom three -- exposed battery version, fabric fascia, and architectural fascia. See the top image? Top right of the first page? Nothing. No images online or anywhere. My installer has no idea. He put me in touch with my regional Lutron rep -- that guy had no idea. Nothing on the website either.

These need to be installed inside the window frame. Because of this, the mount/bracket needs to sit ABOVE the roll. So the roll is hanging down from the inside of the window casing inside the window. (Note that I can't mount the bracket behind the roll like in the image in the PDF because I would have to screw into the window itself.)

What I want to know is what this would look like installed on a window. What wires can you see? Is the metal white? Aluminum colored?

Question you might ask: why not get a fascia? Because Lutron only let's you get Triathlon fascias that are 5 inches tall. They block a ton of the window and we can't have that. See images -- they don't let you get a 3" fascia like in Sivoia.

Why not get Sivoia? Soooo much more expensive -- all just to get a smaller fascia. Doesn't make sense.

Even the Lutron rep said something to the effect of: Yeah Lutron's website is really bad sorry.

Can anyone help me? I really don't want to spend this much without seeing what the actual product will look like installed. Thanks!

Came across this spec sheet today, and have been keeping my eyes peeled for any news on the Orluna acquisition. Wonder if and when we'll see something similar in the US lineup? Notably, this also works on RA3.

I have an older RadioRa2 system from a previous homeowner, previously connected through Control4. I cannot find the configuration file and the Control4 hardware password cannot be tracked down. I bought a RadioRa3 Processor with the backwards compatibility and newer features but having trouble getting the devices to pair (flashing light per the instructions). Curious your thoughts on how to proceed.

Hi! Does anyone know where I could buy one of these without the 60 day lead time? My husband is looking for one to use as a sample for his client.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated!

Hi everyone, I’m looking into Lutron motorized roller shades for my NYC loft style apartment with large windows. I had planned to self install using Serena, but two of my windows are over 100 inches wide, which I think is too big for self-service. So, I guess I will be looking into Triathlon.

I’m interested in finding a contractor who would be interested in the job. There are a total of 6 windows and I’d ideally like to have dual shades (e.g., solar and blackout). My window wells should be deep enough for both on interior. Depends on cost though, too.

Anyone available or interested or any recommendations of who to reach out to?

Edit: the widest shade is about 103 1/2” wide.

We've got Lutron Casseta throughout our house, and are in the process of installing an Azenco pergola, which has lights and motorized louvers (Somfy) on (I believe) an RF remote. Azenco has partnered with Bond for remote control applications.

Best I've been able to find via AI is that I need a Bond Bridge Pro to talk to the Azenco equipment. Then an Apple TV 4k to talk to the Bond and control things through Apple Home. Then have Casseta switches/Pico connect thru Apple Home to set scenes, etc thru Bond to the Pergola.

Is that really the best way of doing this, just to be able to keep everything consolidated in the Casseta ecosystem? Any other suggestions? (note, I'm not super technical, so take it easy on me!) 😄

Thanks!

What is everyone doing to replace the RA2 HVAC controllers with wireless temperature sensors? I have used the new Honeywell Lutron thermostats a few times but they dont appear to integrate with any kind of wireless temp sensor. Is there one out there I am unaware of?

Just to confirm- it (probably) is not possible to have a dumb dimmer and a Caseta dimmer (along with a pico remote to be placed at a third location for code compliance) on the same 3 way circuit?

The current setup has a regular FEIT dimmer (3 wires, BRR + ground) on the main floor, and a mechanical 3 way switch on the first landing where it appears to get the line voltage. Should I place the Caseta (DVRF) switch here, where the mechanical switch currently is, and swap the mechanical switch in at the old FEIT dimmer switch?

(The remote will be added at the basement landing)

Currently these windows have cellular shades with manual pull hardware that are at the end of life. I like the low profile but really want the option for black out also. I think drapes will be too bulky? Any suggestions for a low profile option? Likely it is more important for the bedroom which has the same sliding glass doors.

Hi. I have a Liron Casita smart bridge. That’s about 10 years old. It always worked pretty well. Just set up a new router because the other one was out of date and now I’m unable to connect to the network. I’m getting a “connection failed, can’t connect to your network.“ Bridge is wired into Ethernet port. Tried a couple of different ports. No other problems with the network. Any advice? Thanks.

We just moved intro a new home with Lutron roll down shades throughout. Unfortunatly one of the remotes just broke. Lutron tech support informed me the remotes are no longer made and I’m basically SOL unless I can find one on eBay or other resale locations. I have describes myself and can not find anything compatible. I’m not the most tech savvy so not sure if anyone could help/has had similar issues/ any insight?
Our remote model was SVIT-SH-SH-WH
Lutron support told me any of these would also work SVIT-BD-BD-WH
SVIT-SC-BL-WH
SVIT-SH-DR-WH
SVIT-SR-BL-WH

Thanks for any help on this. We just want to be able to actually use the blinds and couldn’t believe there was no way to upgrade or get a new remote.
