Lutron Electronics makes lighting controls and automated window treatments, from in-wall dimmers, switches and Pico remotes to whole-home systems such as Caseta, RadioRA 3 and HomeWorks QSX. Its wireless devices run on Lutron's own Clear Connect RF technology and pair with a Lutron smart hub, so the lights keep responding even when Wi-Fi is down. Caseta integrates with Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Home, Ring and Sonos. Founded by Joel Spira, the company has been building light controls for more than 60 years.
