The projects on this page name Lutron HomeWorks lighting processors and switches, Ketra tunable lighting and Lutron tunable white tape lighting, Control4 adaptive-phase dimmers and keypads, Crestron lighting control and motorized shades, Hunter Douglas wireless roller shades, and DMX-controlled LED and fiber optic star ceilings in home theaters. Smart Systems is an authorized Lutron dealer and Lutron dealer council member, and holds Control4's Centralized Lighting Certified designation. ### Can lighting and shades run from the same app as the rest of the house or room? Yes. Lighting and shades are programmed into the Control4 or Crestron system that runs the audio, video and climate, so one keypad, touch screen or app sets a scene. At the Integrated Riverside Condo the exterior lights follow sunrise and sunset and pathway lighting comes on when someone enters through the basement; in the BlueCross BlueShield conference room in Nashville, fourteen Crestron motorized dual shades move on a schedule to cut glare and occupancy sensors wake and sleep the room. ### Can older dimmers be replaced without rewiring the house? Usually. At the Control4 Filled Integrated Home the existing dimmers, which were not LED-compatible, were replaced with LED-compatible Control4 dimmers and tied into the automation system; the Gorgeous Kitchen Remodel upgraded the home's Lutron lighting infrastructure and replaced outdated components with Ketra lighting during the renovation. ### What does lighting control cost? Lighting is quoted with the rest of the automation system after a walkthrough. The smart home page publishes the band: entry-level lighting and climate control starts around $10K–$15K; full-home automation with shades, security, audio and climate typically ranges from $30K–$100K+ depending on size and scope. ### How quickly does Smart Systems respond to a quote request?
