RadioRA 3 is a professional-grade lighting and lighting control system that redefines personalized home automation. Built for professional installation, this highly customizable, wireless system empowers homeowners and integrators to transform how connected lighting control interacts with daily life. With RadioRA 3, residential clients can experience intuitive, effortless control over lighting, automated shades, and other home technologies, all within a single, seamless platform.
At the heart of the system is a new all-in-one processor that consolidates the RadioRA 2 main repeater and connect bridge into a single device, significantly reducing installation time. QuickFind software enables easy discovery of the processor on the home network, while Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, via Cat5e or better, allows centralized installation without requiring a power receptacle. The processor’s flexible mounting options—including recess, shelf, and junction-box installation—create a neat, organized setup that keeps critical hardware protected. For environments without a PoE-enabled router, a processor kit with a PoE injector is also available.
RadioRA 3 excels in both new home projects and upgrades from existing RadioRA 2 and RA2 Select systems. Utilizing Lutron’s ultra-reliable Clear Connect RF technology, RA3 maintains backward compatibility with earlier systems. A single RadioRA 3 system can manage up to 200 Sunnata RF devices and 200 compatible RA2, RA2 Select, and Lutron automated shades. For larger spaces or extended coverage, up to four processors can work together to maintain reliable communication across devices installed beyond the range of a single processor. The new simplified software streamlines setup and device management, reducing data entry by applying shared scenes across multiple devices. Upgrading from a RadioRA 2 system is straightforward, with existing programming convertible to the RadioRA 3 processor with just a click.
RadioRA 3 also introduces app-based editing, allowing on-site refinements in real time, helping installers avoid callbacks. Additionally, remote service programming enables adjustments from a remote location, eliminating unnecessary trips and saving time. Integration with other connected home brands reaches new heights through Lutron’s LEAP API, which embeds system programming directly within top control brands’ software. This approach eliminates duplicate programming, ensures ultra-responsive device performance, and leverages Transport Layer Security (TLS) v1.2 for banking-grade network security.
Outdoor capabilities are enhanced with the RadioRA 3 outdoor plug-in switch, which provides connected on/off control for exterior loads such as pumps, motors, string lights, and holiday decorations. Users can integrate these outdoor elements into RA3 scenes and schedules, adjusting them through the app, voice commands, remotes, or custom keypads. Triathlon automated wood blinds from Sivoia QS now integrate with RadioRA 3, offering Natural Light Optimization that automatically adjusts tilt based on the sun’s position. Combined with roller and cellular shades, Triathlon shading delivers effortless comfort while maintaining the aesthetic clients prefer.
RadioRA 3 relies on Clear Connect RF technology to ensure seamless communication among all system components. PRO LED+ technology provides superior dimming performance for LEDs, halogen, incandescent, ELV, and MLV bulbs, while Intelligent Hembar Alignment synchronizes motorized shades for precise operation. The system’s contemporary light bar design extends across dimmers, switches, and keypads, combining enhanced functionality with a modern aesthetic. Sunnata keypads, dimmers, and switches bring familiar touch control to connected lighting, with illuminated vertical accents and an expanded range of colors and finishes that complement any home décor.
Scene control in RadioRA 3 is intuitive, allowing homeowners to personalize each keypad button with text or icons for immediate access to lighting, shades, and other smart home devices. The system can be controlled via cloud-connected devices, voice assistants, schedules, sensors, or the Lutron app, enabling homes to align naturally with daily routines. From programmed lighting for dawn and dusk to mood-specific scenes for work, relaxation, or entertaining, RA3 transforms lighting into a dynamic element of daily life. Integration with sound systems allows coordinated lighting and audio experiences, perfect for hosting or creating immersive environments at home.
For safety and convenience, RA3 enables entryway illumination, synchronized shade operation, and customizable vacation modes to simulate occupancy when homeowners are away. Thermostat and security integration extend control beyond lighting, while smart scheduling and occupancy sensing provide automated comfort and efficiency. RA3’s Sunnata controls incorporate smooth graded fades, responsive touch, and superior dimming performance for all supported bulb types, ensuring seamless transitions between lighting states.
RadioRA 3 supports system expansion and upgrades with connected remotes, integrated accessories, and optional occupancy or vacancy sensors. Customizable wall plates, color-coordinated receptacles, and screwless finishes complement any interior design. Lumaris tunable white tape light enhances architectural elements, creating dramatic accents for stairs, mirrors, and cabinetry while blending seamlessly into home architecture. The system delivers a unified, versatile, and aesthetically cohesive lighting experience across an entire home.
The RadioRA 3 processor allows complete setup, control, and monitoring of all connected devices via the Lutron app on smartphones or tablets. Users can access scene control, schedule time-based events, and integrate multiple devices using Pico, Sunnata, or seeTouch keypads. PoE-powered processors maintain functionality during internet outages, and global system access is available from anywhere with the Lutron app, including Apple Watch widgets. The system supports integration with leading smart home platforms such as Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, Sonos, and Ring, while professional A/V and security systems connect through Lutron’s LEAP API for seamless automation.
RadioRA 3 ultimately empowers homeowners to personalize, simplify, and elevate their home experience. Its combination of wireless reliability, intuitive control, extensive integration, and refined aesthetics sets a new standard for residential lighting and automation, making every home smarter, safer, and more enjoyable.
