Lutron Lighting & Shade Integration

The following guide explains Lutron compatibility, supported features, and integration details when connecting Lutron lighting and shades with True Protection smart home systems.

Compatible Lutron Solutions

Caséta Wireless
RA2 Select
RadioRA 2 (firmware 6.1.0+)
HomeWorks QS (firmware 5.1.0+)

Important: An internet connection is required for Lutron integration. All device communication is routed through a Lutron gateway, such as a Smart Bridge, Repeater, or Processor, which connects to the home network via Ethernet.

Supported Features

Plug-in switch and dimmer control
In-wall switch and dimmer control
Custom light schedules
Individual shade control (Venetian support coming soon)

Phantom Buttons

Phantom buttons act as virtual switches, letting users control multiple lights or shades at once from the True Protection smart home app — even without a physical switch.

Automation and Rules

Lutron lighting can be used in the same automation rules as Z-Wave lights, including geofencing and scheduling. However, video-triggered lighting automations are not available for Lutron devices at this time.

Tip: When creating lighting automations, select Lutron Devices in your True Protection dashboard to apply the rule correctly.

Network and Communication

Lutron devices communicate through their gateway using Clear Connect RF technology. These devices connect to True Protection’s smart home system via cloud integration, not directly with the security panel. If the gateway is offline, remote control through the app may be unavailable until connection is restored.

Installation Notes

Lutron systems should be installed and connected to Wi-Fi before linking them to your True Protection account.
Verify the repeater, bridge, or processor is connected directly to the router for best results.
After setup, use the True Protection app to access and control lighting and shade devices.
