Lighting + Shade Control
Instantly transform your home with automated shades and lights that adjust hands-free to the perfect glow for every hour and occasion.
Automated Lighting
Gone are the days of long banks of switches taking up valuable wall space and causing visual clutter! Lutron’s automated lighting is designed clean and minimalistic. Controllable dimmers and switches can turn on or off your entire home with one touch, voice command, or smart phone app control. Automated lighting also gives you the ability to program the quality and quantity of light and, combined with occupancy sensors and automated shades, allows you to balance light to naturally heat or cool your rooms, saving energy in your home.
Automated Shades
IQ Automation has partnered with Lutron for automated smart shades due to their reliability, the quietest motors in the industry and their extensive collection of fabrics and finishes. They complement any style effortlessly—whether modern, contemporary, or classic. With a selection of sheer and blackout fabrics, Lutron shades provide excellent UV protection, fade prevention and glare reduction on your TV's and work space screens. Lutron's child-safe cordless automated shades can also be custom programmed to open or close for heating and cooling energy savings and security, when you're home or on vacation, all based on an astronomical clock.
