Unlock connected moments together
You know the story. There was a little girl, a forest and some porridge that was “juussst right.” Lutron’s Ra2 Select is the goldilocks of lighting controls for your 5,000 sq ft. home. Not too big and not too small this system was launched by Lutron two years ago. Sitting on Lutron’s proprietary technology called Clear Connect, Ra2 Select connects lights, shades and appliances. With the option to connect up to 100 devices, Ra2 Select can turn your regular home into a smart home. Adjust your devices using your wall-mounted remote in a room, or by using the app or voice-controlled virtual assistants like Amazon Alexa, Apple Homekit and Google Assistant.
What's different about Ra2 Select?
So, what is the difference between Ra2 Select and the more affordable Caseta system also offered by Lutron? Three main things, really:
- the number of devices you can install,
- more aesthetic dimmers and switches, and
- the ability to use repeaters (which can be added to this system for extended wireless range).
Ra2 Select is perfect for a home that needs 5,000 sq. ft of coverage and wants up to 100 devices connected. RadioRA 2 (one level up from RA2 Select) is a better solution if you want to connect more than 100 devices and need coverage for up to a 10,000 sq. ft home. It also has more Designer style controls than Ra2 Select but is pricier and more difficult to install.
Similar to Caseta, you don’t need to be certified in this system to get started. Download the Lutron checklist and start designing your solution today!
5 Reasons you’ll love it
Choose from pre-engraved Pico remotes or custom engrave your own remote to create the perfect scene for your movie night. By engraving the Pico remote, you can create a “movie” scene that dims lights and lowers shades as the move begins. Or create a “goodnight” scene that turns off all your lights and closes the shades before you drift off to sleep.
Because it’s a wireless solution, it’s easy to install in one room, or many. And you don’t need to be certified to sell this system or have special software to program it – it’s as simple as tuning the station in your car.
It also runs on a private network (a unique advantage to Lutron) so your wireless switches will work even if your internet goes down.
Never come home to a dark house, with geofencing built into every switch. Turn your lights on and off on based on your location using the Lutron App.
Ra2 select uses Maestro’s full range of designer light controls. From fan controls, sensors and timers, you can adjust your lights and fans from anywhere in the room and even outside your home.
Maestro’s dimmers and switches are more expensive because they have high-performance personalized light control with additional advanced programming options.
They also come in a variety of colors. With gloss or satin options in White, Ivory, Almond, Light Almond, Gray, Brown and Black you’re sure to find something for every type of décor.
Ra2 Select works with different types of systems, and can:
- Cover up to 5,000 sq ft,
- Connect up to 100 devices,
- Integrate with Sivio WS Wireless and Sivoia QS Triathlon Shades
- Integrate with Lutron Wireless thermostat and other third-party systems
- Integrate with RF occupancy/vacancy sensors
- be compatible with Maestro RF fan control
- be compatible with Pico zone controls, Pico keypads, RF Maestro dimmers and switches
- have IFITTT
- be compatible with a variety of voice-controlled virtual assistants including Amazon, Apple, Google, SmartThings, Nest, Sonos, Logitech and more!
Whether you’re indoor or outdoor, you can control the lights, shades and appliances with the Pico remote. Ra2 Select sits on Lutron proprietary technology called Clear Connect – a separate network that doesn’t rely on an external link or bluetooth. With Clear Connect, reliability is guaranteed because your switches are on a quiet frequency band that is free of interreference. So you can trust that your system won’t be affected by a neighboring one. Grow the system over time starting in one room or install it throughout the entire home.
