Lutron RA2 Select: Smart Lighting That Adapts to Your Life

When it comes to home automation, lighting is one of the most impactful areas to upgrade. It influences not only how your home looks, but also how it feels, functions, and supports your lifestyle. With the RA2 Select system by Lutron, you gain seamless, whole-home control of your lights—both incandescent and LED—with a flexible, intuitive, and future-proof system designed around you.

Whether you're just beginning your smart home journey or expanding an existing system, RA2 Select offers the balance of simplicity and sophistication that modern homeowners expect.

What Is Lutron RA2 Select?
RA2 Select is Lutron’s entry into the world of wireless whole-home lighting control, bridging the gap between basic smart switches and more complex automation systems. It's designed to give you comprehensive lighting control in an easy-to-use package that doesn’t require rewiring or major renovations.

Key Features:

• Smart lighting control for the entire home
• Works with both incandescent and LED lights
• Customizable scenes and schedules
• Integration with voice assistants and other smart systems
• Control via app, remote, or wall-mounted keypad
• Wireless installation with reliable performance

Whether you’re adjusting lights for movie night, dimming the dining room for dinner guests, or setting a schedule to match your sleep routine, RA2 Select puts full control at your fingertips.

Why Homeowners Love RA2 Select
The beauty of RA2 Select lies in its balance: it’s powerful enough for whole-home automation, yet simple enough to install in existing homes with minimal disruption. Here are some of the reasons homeowners are choosing Lutron’s smart lighting solution:

1. Whole-Home Coverage
   Unlike plug-and-play smart bulbs that only affect one fixture, RA2 Select gives you total control over every light in your home. From the kitchen to the bedroom, hallway to garage, the system creates a consistent experience throughout the house.

2. Reliable Wireless Technology
   RA2 Select uses Lutron’s Clear Connect® RF technology, which offers robust, interference-free communication between devices. That means no lag, no dropped signals—just consistent performance day in and day out.

3. Custom Scenes
   Want to create a “Good Morning” scene that turns on your kitchen and hallway lights? Or maybe a “Relax” mode that dims the living room to a soft glow in the evening? With RA2 Select, you can create scenes that fit your life and activate them with a single tap.

4. Scheduling & Timers
   Set lights to turn on automatically at sunset, dim at bedtime, or simulate occupancy when you’re away on vacation. With flexible scheduling, your home works on your timeline, even when you're not home.

5. Voice and App Control
   RA2 Select integrates seamlessly with smart assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. Prefer an app? The Lutron App allows full control of your system from anywhere in the world.

6. Customizable Keypads & Pico Remotes
   In addition to smartphone and voice controls, RA2 Select offers elegant wall-mounted keypads and wireless Pico remotes. These remotes can be placed anywhere—on a table, wall, or even mounted like a traditional switch—offering physical control with a stylish touch.

Designed to Fit Your Lifestyle
Lighting isn’t one-size-fits-all—and RA2 Select reflects that reality. The lutron home automation system is built to adapt to your home, your habits, and your preferences. Whether you’re a tech-savvy user looking for deep integration, or someone who just wants their lights to turn off automatically at night, Lutron makes it easy to customize.

Some common use cases include:

• Wake-Up Lighting: Gradually brighten bedroom lights in the morning to simulate a natural sunrise.
• Night Mode: Dim hallway and bathroom lights in the evening to prevent disruption to your sleep cycle.
• Security Lighting: Automatically turn on exterior lights at sunset or when motion is detected.
• Party Mode: Create scenes for entertaining that combine lighting and window treatments.

Works Seamlessly with LED and Incandescent Lighting
One of the challenges in modern lighting is compatibility. Not all smart systems handle LEDs well—some cause flickering, slow response, or unreliable dimming. RA2 Select, however, is engineered for both LED and incandescent bulbs, ensuring smooth, silent dimming and consistent performance regardless of the type of bulb you use.

If you’ve already invested in LED upgrades or are planning to do so, RA2 Select helps you maximize those savings with smart automation and energy-conscious scheduling.

Expandability & Integration
RA2 Select is designed to grow with you. It works with a variety of Lutron and third-party smart home devices, including:

• Lutron Serena® smart shades – for automated natural light control
• Ring – to trigger lights when motion is detected outside
• Sonos – to create lighting and music scenes together
• Smart thermostats – for full home environment control

That means you can start small—perhaps with a few lights and window shades—and gradually expand your system over time without needing to start over.

Simple Installation, Professional Results
Unlike some smart lighting systems that require complex wiring or control panels, RA2 Select is designed for wireless, retrofittable installation. Many systems can be installed in existing homes without removing walls or doing electrical overhauls.

However, to ensure the most effective configuration, especially in larger homes or with custom scenes, working with a certified Lutron dealer or smart home specialist is recommended. Professional programming and setup help optimize the system to your lifestyle and layout.

Designed for Modern Living
Lutron has long been a leader in lighting control, and the RA2 Select continues that tradition with a system that feels modern, intuitive, and beautiful. The devices are sleek and minimal, blending into your home’s interior while adding powerful functionality.

Whether you're an interior designer seeking clean control options, a tech enthusiast aiming for a connected lifestyle, or a homeowner simply looking to cut energy bills, RA2 Select delivers.

Future-Proof Your Home with Smart Lighting
As more homeowners embrace automation, smart lighting has become one of the most practical and impactful upgrades. RA2 Select gives you a system that not only meets today’s needs but can also adapt to tomorrow’s innovations.

From enhanced security and greater energy efficiency to comfort and aesthetic appeal, lighting automation with Lutron transforms your home into a truly responsive living environment.
