Why Certified Matters
Our technicians are trained directly by Lutron — proper commissioning is what protects the warranty and keeps a system reliable for decades.
01
Design & Site Assessment
Control-intent walkthrough with the owner, architect, or AV integrator — window schedules, power and wiring assessment, and system-generation selection before anything is ordered.
02
System Specification
Processor, motor, keypad, and fabric specification matched to the project — wiring diagrams and low-voltage coordination so electricians rough-in right the first time.
03
Installation
Shades, keypads, and processors installed by our own crews — every Lutron project handled by a certified technician, not handed off to a sub who has never touched the system.
04
Programming & Commissioning
On-site programming by a certified technician — zone grouping, scene setting, astronomical timeclock configuration, Clear Connect RF range testing, and shade-group alignment.
05
Documentation & Training
Full commissioning documentation delivered: as-built drawings, processor backup files, zone maps, and scene lists — plus owner training, so the next technician has everything they need.
06
Service & Reprogramming
Troubleshooting, motor replacement, and system reprogramming for existing Lutron installations — authorized service for all current Lutron shade product lines, any generation.
Automation & integration
A Lutron system is more than motors — it is sensors, schedules, and integration, configured by the installer. That configuration is exactly what certification is for.
Daylight & Occupancy Sensors
Responsive control
Shades that react to measured daylight and room occupancy — glare handled automatically, energy saved when nobody is in the room.
Astronomical Timeclock
Sunrise to sunset
Schedules tied to actual sunrise and sunset at your latitude, year-round — no seasonal reprogramming, no drifting scenes.
Sun-Tracking Automation
Facade-aware shading
Shade positions follow the sun's angle across each facade through the day — cutting glare and solar gain while preserving the view.
Crestron · BMS · AV
One touch panel
Lutron processors integrated with Crestron control systems via IP or RS-232 and with building management platforms — shades, lighting, and AV from a single interface.
