Here is how the options differ and which one fits a house like yours. If you are building or remodeling, you have probably seen Lutron dimmers in model homes. Lutron makes lighting control for everything from a single room to a large estate, and the names can be confusing. Here is a simple way to think about the choices. ## Caséta: great for a few rooms Caséta is Lutron's entry-level smart lighting. It replaces standard switches with smart dimmers and works with a simple app and common voice assistants. - Good for apartments, starter homes, and single rooms - Pico remotes add a switch location without new wiring - Easy to add one room at a time ## Whole-home Lutron: one system for the house For most larger homes, a professionally designed Lutron system is the right fit. Lighting and motorized shades work together, and engraved keypads replace rows of dimmers. - Buttons that say "Entertain" or "Goodnight" instead of a bank of switches - Lights and shades set together with one touch - Schedules, vacation mode, and exterior lighting that follow sunrise and sunset - Works with Josh.ai voice control and Control4 automation ## HomeWorks: Lutron's flagship HomeWorks is Lutron's top-of-the-line system for the largest and most detailed homes. It offers the widest choice of Palladiom and Alisse keypads, custom finishes, and the most control over every light and shade in the house. ## Ketra: light that follows the day Ketra lights change color and brightness throughout the day, from cool, bright light in the morning to warm, soft light at night. Colors look true, and rooms feel more like they are lit by daylight. Ketra is designed and installed as part of a HomeWorks system. | Question | Caséta | Whole-home Lutron | HomeWorks with Ketra | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Best fit | A few rooms | Most larger homes | Luxury and custom estates | | Keypads | Smart switches and remotes | Engraved designer keypads | Palladiom and Alisse, custom finishes | | Motorized shades | Limited | Fully integrated | Fully integrated | | Light quality | Standard dimming | Standard dimming | Tunable, natural light with Ketra | ## Our recommendation Start with how you want the home to feel, not with a product name. Most of our clients choose a whole-home Lutron system with motorized shades. For custom homes where lighting design is a priority, HomeWorks with Ketra is worth a look. If you are pre-wiring now, we can plan keypad locations with your builder before drywall. **Planning a new build?** Daisy Katy is an authorized Lutron dealer.
