Lutron, Wipliance? What Is the Difference?

In our more than 15 years in the smart technology business, one common occurrence has always intrigued us. Often, homeowners looking to improve their lighting and shading solutions reach out to us… thinking we are Lutron. And just between us, it is quite an honor that they think of us this way! After all, Lutron is one of the world's most important manufacturers of lighting and motorized shades technology. 

But Wipliance is not Lutron. We are not a manufacturer. Instead, we are experienced smart home, and commercial automation specialists delivering high-end solutions to help families in the Seattle, WA, area make their lifestyles much more luxurious. This includes incorporating sophisticated lighting, climate, shading, entertainment, and home automation systems.

Lighting Options 

Choosing the right lighting system for your home will vary depending on several things, such as your property's size and budget. There are four leading lighting solutions we can help you incorporate throughout your home: Caséta, RA2 Select, RadioRA2, and HomeWorks QS.

The Caséta is a DIY system that is typically used in small spaces, such as one-bedroom apartments or condos. This automated wireless system can control up to 74 devices in a space of up to 2,5000 square feet. While Caséta is quite affordable, it also comes with many overall limitations. For this reason, we don’t recommend it if you are looking for a more luxurious living experience. 

The RA2 Select, on the other hand, offers the perfect balance between affordable and luxurious. This smart lighting system provides you with a higher device limit and 5000-square-foot coverage. One of the main perks of this expandable technology is that it allows you to seamlessly upgrade to RadioRA 2, as most of the existing hardware between both systems is compatible.

The RadioRA 2 takes smart lighting to the next level. We recommend installing this solution in mid-range residences of up to 7,500 square feet. On top of raising the coverage zone and device limit, the RadioRA 2 offers customizable Lutron dimmers and smart keypad programming. This system also allows you to integrate your lights with other technology, such as wireless shades, thermostats, and more.

Last but not least, HomeWorks QS is the perfect system for the most demanding homeowners. This is more than just smart lighting; it is smart living. Designed to serve large-scale homes of up to 50,000 square feet and support up to 10,000 devices, this system can integrate not only your lighting and shading solutions but also your entertainment, climate, and security systems to create a completely luxurious lifestyle. On top of this, the HomeWorks solution also offers Ketra technology, which allows you to tune your lights to a virtually infinite color palette, helping you boost your aesthetics and make your spaces much more comfortable with the proper lighting. 

Shading Solutions 

As a Lutron Black Diamond Dealer, Wipliance can also offer you a wide range of motorized shading solutions. From sheer shades that let the sunshine in, to blackout shades that help you keep your spaces gloomy and cozy, to outdoor shades that maintain your alfresco spaces safe from UV rays and bugs. Adding motorized shading is the best way to boost your aesthetics and effortlessly control your natural lighting.
