Using Sensors with Your Lutron Lighting System

All You Need to Know About Daylight & Occupancy Sensors

Using Sensors with Your Lutron Lighting System

Automating your lights to follow a schedule is handy, but a schedule can’t predict what’s really going on at home. If it’s a stormy, cloudy day (a common occurrence here in Medina, WA), your Lutron lighting system won’t know that it should open the drapes and turn on the LEDs to get some light. Likewise, if it’s starting to get darker earlier each day of fall, a schedule won’t be able to account for the changing night sky. 

That’s where sensors come in handy. Lutron’s occupancy and daylight sensors are essential to a complete smart lighting experience. Learn how they work and can enhance a Lutron lighting system below.
