Your Certified Lutron Dealer in Seattle & Greater Bellevue
The Right Lutron System for Your Home
Lutron offers four lighting control platforms. One is designed for the hands-on homeowner, and three are engineered for professional installation at progressively sophisticated levels of integration, automation, and whole-home control. The right professional system depends on your home's size, whether it's new construction or an existing build, and how deeply you want to automate. VIP Smart Homes works across all three, recommending the right fit, not the most expensive one.

Keypads & Wall Controls
The keypad is where your smart home becomes tangible. It's the object on your wall that you reach for in the dark, that your guests instinctively understand, and that sets the tone for how your home feels the moment you walk in. Lutron offers a range of keypads from sleek modern elegance to hand-finished solid brass. What follows is a sampling of what's available. Each keypad line comes in dozens of finishes, configurations, and engraving options that we specify during your design consultation.
Sunnata: Flagship Wireless Keypad
Sunnata is Lutron's signature wall control for RadioRA 3. A sleek, low-profile keypad with large tactile buttons, vertical LED light bars that glow softly in the dark, and a fully customizable layout. Available in 24 gloss and satin finishes with custom engraved buttons identifying each scene. The Sunnata Hybrid combines dimmer and keypad functions in a single device, ideal for retrofit installations where wall space is limited.
Palladiom: Architectural Precision
Palladiom is Lutron's architectural statement. A flush, uniplanar design where buttons and faceplate sit in the same plane, creating a seamlessly integrated wall surface. Available in polymer, architectural matte, glass, and Signature Metal finishes including Matte Graphite and Champagne. Buttons are custom engraved and backlit. The keypad of choice for homes where architecture demands hardware that disappears into the wall.
seeTouch: The Classic Engraved Keypad
seeTouch is Lutron's most established and widely specified keypad. Instantly recognizable, with raised engraved buttons that tell you exactly what each one does. Available in an extensive range of finishes including polished metals, brushed metals, glass, and architectural matte, with up to 10 buttons per keypad. The gold standard for clients who want a keypad that reads clearly and unmistakably as a lighting control.
Alisse: Hand-Crafted Solid Brass
Alisse is Lutron's most luxurious wall control. Machined from solid brass, hand-finished, and precision-engraved to order. Each keypad is a piece of craftsmanship that coordinates with architectural hardware, plumbing fixtures, and custom millwork. Available in 11 Signature Metal finishes. For estates where every material and finish detail has been considered, Alisse is the natural choice.
Aviena: Heritage Toggle Keypad
Aviena is Lutron's newest and most distinctive keypad. Hand-finished in solid brass with a sculpted curvilinear form, Aviena replaces the standard wall switch with a weighted mechanical toggle that delivers a satisfying, purposeful click. It looks and feels like heritage hardware, the kind of toggle you'd find in a beautifully restored estate, but behind it is the full intelligence of the HomeWorks platform.
These are just the starting points. Between finish options, button configurations, and engraving choices, the combinations available for your home number in the thousands. During your consultation, we'll bring samples so you can see and feel the finishes against your actual walls and hardware.
Ketra: Full-Spectrum Tunable Lighting
The world's most advanced residential light source. Ketra produces full-spectrum natural light from 1,400K to 10,000K with 16.7 million colors and lifetime color accuracy through Color Lock technology. It shifts automatically throughout the day to mirror natural daylight, supporting circadian rhythm, rendering art and materials with extraordinary accuracy, and transforming the atmosphere of any room.
Rania: Natural White Light
Rania is Lutron's mid-tier architectural light source, delivering natural white light across a wide color temperature range (1,800 to 5,500K) with an R9 value above 80 for noticeably truer reds, skin tones, and materials. For clients who want light that feels genuinely alive and naturalistic without stepping up to a full Ketra installation, Rania delivers remarkable quality at a more accessible investment.
Lumaris: Tunable White + RGB Tape Light
Lumaris is Lutron's architectural LED tape light, available in tunable white (1,800 to 4,000K) for coves, under-cabinets, toe kicks, and built-in millwork, and in full-color RGB for accent lighting, backlighting, and dramatic architectural effects. Native to your Lutron system with no third-party controllers, meaning your tape light responds to the same scenes, schedules, and keypads as everything else in your home.
