Lutron’s RadioRA 3 Delivers Faster, Smarter Whole‑Home Lighting Control

Lutron’s RadioRA 3 represents a substantial upgrade to residential and light‑commercial lighting control, giving contractors a more capable, more efficient system to deploy across whole‑home projects. The suite of wireless dimmers, switches, keypads, sensors and shades work together to give homeowners centralized automated control of lighting and other devices.

The platform’s redesigned architecture centers on Clear Connect Type X, a next‑generation RF layer that increases bandwidth, improves device responsiveness and reduces the need for repeaters. For installers, this translates into stronger signal reliability in dense construction, fewer RF‑related callbacks and smoother performance with today’s LED loads.

Lutron’s Automated Lighting Controls Expand Options

RadioRA 3’s PoE‑powered processor consolidates system logic, timeclock events and automation routines into a single, robust hub. This simplifies wiring, reduces the need for auxiliary power supplies, and ensures local operation even during internet outages. Remote access through the Lutron app also allows contractors to adjust programming or troubleshoot without a site visit.

RadioRA 3 integrates more seamlessly with major smart‑home ecosystems, enabling lighting, shades, sensors and third‑party devices to operate as a unified system. This gives contractors the ability to build more advanced routines without complex programming.

Key advantages:

  • Expanded device capacity for larger whole‑home projects
  • Faster commissioning through streamlined app‑based tools
  • More responsive occupancy, vacancy and daylight‑based automation
  • Improved integration pathways for HVAC, security and voice‑control ecosystems
