Since their invention of the simple rotary dimmer in the early 1960s, Lutron has grown to be the leader in smart lighting control solutions. Their four residential control systems accommodate a wide range of homes and budgets, from single-room applications to expansive properties.
In this blog, we’re focusing on RadioRA 2, a comprehensive and fully wireless Lutron lighting control system (that controls shades and thermostats, too). RadioRA 2 also stands apart from other wireless-only Lutron control systems in several ways, which we’lldiscuss below.

Because RadioRA 2 is wireless, it’s a perfect control system for existing homes. Installation is simple, with no need to gut drywall to rewire lights and other appliances. RadioRA 2 is also scalable, which means you can start with smart lightingcontrol in one room and then expand to other areas later.AddLutron wireless window treatments and wireless temperature sensors to your system, too.
Unlike Lutron’s other wireless-only control systems, RadioRA 2 integrates with the Lutron Connect app, which offers incredible features like easy remote management of your home, automatic adjustments of devices when leaving or departing, new light, and shade scene creation, battery status alerts, and more.
Of course, a mobile app isn’t your only method of control. Create the perfect atmosphere in one or multiple rooms with customized wall keypads, switches, and dimmers. A single button can trigger a scene that adjusts lights, shades, and temperature simultaneously for morning and evening, as well as for occasions like movie night or reading. The scenes are up to you! RadioRA 2 supports up to 200 connected devices and offers wireless coverage for up to 7,500 squarefeet of space.
When you choose RadioRA 2 over the Caséta or RadioRA Select wireless-only control systems, you’ll have a much wider selection of wall keypad styles to choose from. Add distinct character to your home with ultra-modernarchitectural Grafik T dimmers, switches, and hybrid keypads, or choose from Lutron’s vast collection of designer SeeTouch keypads. Finishes are available in gloss, matte, and satin, and color options are plentiful.
