Enjoy Enhanced Aesthetics and Controls

Home automation has become mainstream as homeowners embrace convenience, comfort, security, and beauty. Many are looking for unprecedented ease of use—a system that responds with one touch or voice command and leaves the technical aspects up to the integrator.

They also want a system that enhances their home’s aesthetics, integrates with their audiovisual equipment, and removes the need for multiple remotes. Today’s HomeWorks system offers all those benefits and more for homes in Atherton, CA, and the lower San Francisco Bay area. 

Here, we’ll explore what a HomeWorks upgrade offers and if it’s time to embrace the latest technology.

What Is a HomeWorks Upgrade?

A HomeWorks upgrade results in an enhanced lighting control system. Two upgrades are available: RadioRA 3 and HomeWorks QSX. HomeWorks QSX offers next-generation lighting control and enhanced luxury living. 

Recently, the company also came out with a new method for upgrading to QSX if you already have a RadioRA system or the now-discontinued HomeWorks QS, making it easier to integrate and experience the remarkable features found in their latest system, including Ketra intelligent lighting.

Why Are Homeowners Upgrading?

Lutron is well-known for creating reliable products with long lifespans. For this reason, many homeowners find themselves with HomeWorks systems installed over a decade ago. Since that time, Lutron has continued elevating and enhancing its product line, integrating the latest technologies. An upgrade ensures the maximum luxury experience available through HomeWorks while preventing any disruptions. 

The following represent some of the many benefits to homeowners: 

• Upgraded Keypads: Lutron’s keypads have changed significantly over the years, transforming from functional to beautifully designed. These new-and-improved on-wall keypads include Palladiom, a style providing a sleek, minimalistic appearance with intuitive controls in exquisite finishes, such as metal and glass. Other elevated aesthetics include custom engraving and backlighting.

Keypads and thermostats are also made from the same elevated materials and designs, enabling a coordinated appearance and effortless control.

• Remote Capabilities: Manage your home from anywhere via remote access and the mobile app. Check which lights are on, if the shades are adjusted, and the temperature. Then, adjust one or every device from your smartphone.

• Expanded Automated Window Treatments: These upgraded systems offer a wider selection, with eight styles and hundreds of fabrics. A few options include Palladiom shades, Roman shades, wood blinds, honeycomb shades, draperies, and more.

• Geofencing: This technology allows you to schedule activities based on your location. For instance, when you arrive home at night, you can schedule the landscape and first-floor lights to brighten, the shades facing your backyard to open, and the temperature to adjust. 

• Tunable Lighting: One of the biggest reasons to update your Lutron system is to add Ketra, which enables tunable lighting. This means your lights can change to any color temperature or color, whether you have the standard Lutron medium base lamp style fixtures or the Ketra LS0 light bars. You can set your lighting system to transition automatically, reflecting the colors and intensity of natural light. In the early morning, the lights take on the brilliant blue-violet of dawn. By evening, they’ve adjusted to a warm, amber glow.
