You Can Control Your Lutron Lights With Amazon's Alexa Voice Control

Lutron Electronics, one of the first pioneers in lighting control, has partnered Amazon to integrate its affordably-priced Caséta Wireless system with Amazon’s Alexa. The result is a beautiful and convenient voice control of your home lighting.

By using the free Lutron app, homeowners can adjust the light from anywhere inside or outside the house; they can also use the Lutron Pico® remote control, or select third-party devices.

And now, after the integration with Amazon, customers who own an Amazon Tap, Echo, Echo Dot, or Amazon Fire TV can simply use their voice to control their Caséta Wireless system.

Combining Alexa-enabled devices with Caséta Wireless is an ideal match, as the Alexa-powered gadgets are mostly located in areas where people spend their time when they’re at home – such as the kitchen or the living room.

Whether you’re helping the kids with homework, doing crafts, or watching the TV, all of these occasions are more comfortable and relaxing if the right light is on. All you need to do is adjust it to your linking by the sound of your voice. For those who prefer it, it can also be done by the tap of a button.

Matt Swatsky, director of product management at Lutron, explained that “asking Alexa to control your lights is undeniably powerful and can simplify things like coming home with arms full of kids, pets, and groceries.”

At the same time, Alexa can also be useful to senior citizens who don’t have a lot of mobility. Swatsky added that a smart home is no longer about the wow factor – the products can also change peoples’ lives.

On the other side of the partnership, Charlie Kindel, Director of Amazon Alexa Smart Home, said the Amazon team is “excited that Lutron customers can now control their lights simply by asking Alexa.”

When Caséta Wireless was introduced in 2014, it helped people overcome two problems regarding smart home lighting: the installation challenges and the compatibility with LEDs.

Due to its design, the system doesn’t require in-wall installation or a neutral wire – this saves homeowners the cost and hassle of having to add one.

And as Swatsky pointed out, Caséta Wireless comes with a powerful Pico remote, which is ideal for when you can speak to Alexa. Are the kids asleep or is your spouse in the middle of an important phone call?

You can still access the system via the remote, which can be mounted on a wall or placed on a tabletop pedestal.
