giuliano Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Good day everyone, I am also building a new house and the electrician's company included me the Lutron RA2 QA Select system as part of his proposal which I have agreed to it already. I've been talked out of Lutron and just go Control 4 all the way. I can always talk to the Electrician and tell him I have changed my mind and see if he can remove the Lutron system form the equation, no work has been done already, just basic electrical wiring, so maybe I have a chance to convince him if he hasn't bought any hardware for it yet. What would you guys recommend? Can I control Lutron RA2 QA Select from the Control 4 app in my iPhone? This is the work for what I was quoted for: This price includes are hardware, wiring, install and programming to complete the the system in the following rooms: garage, hallway, entry including front exterior lights, family, kitchen and dinning. 7 Sea touch keypads (plastic) 3 Power modules 1 processor programming one time basic set up one time custom 2 hours max Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and you can program through C4, so no need to pay electrician for any custom programming beyond basic setup. You will get mixed responses on using lutron vs C4 lighting controls on here. Some, like myself, like Lutron more aesthetically and functionally. C4 is better if you need a stronger zigby mesh for other devices. I don't use any zigby in my project except one or two remotes close to controllers so that is not a benefit. C4 light switches have programmable colored LED lights on the switch that some find useful to show ertain programming states or status. The debate in this thread was more about original RA2 vs new QA select.... WhyPhy and giuliano 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LollerAgent Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Has anyone actually integrated RA2 Select with C4, yet? If so, which driver is needed? I don't believe it's the same as normal RR2, but I could be incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallom Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I saw somewhere that you could use the Caseta drivers but you would be limited to 49/50 devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LollerAgent Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Ugh - that sounds janky. Do you remember where you saw that? Hopefully there is an official driver/support coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LollerAgent Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Interesting! I was wondering when SnapAV was going to start selling lighting control. I don't think this should slow down official support for RA2 Select in C4, though. EDIT: maybe it will slow things down.. I didn't realize that HouseLogix (who created the RA2 drivers) is actually owned by SnapAV. I'd say they are focused on their own integration with OvrC.

LollerAgent Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Just an update here. According to Lutron [1], official RA2 Select drivers are now available for C4!

Homeworks is for pro's only and includes wired and wireless solutions that are configured with a program that can do programming and advanced scenes. The other system uses the Smart Bridge Pro as the hub and lets you buy the Caseta dimmers and accessories through big box stores or you can buy the Maestro dimmers and accessories through an authorized dealer. All devices are configured through the app (which is how it works now for Caseta and this new RA2 select line). They have these systems to meet different requirements Caseta does 75 devices and is less expensive. Ra Select does 100 and uses picos as keypads instead of see touch keypads that are more expensive. Ra2 does 200 devices better keypads, then Homeworks QS is limitless best keypads with lots of options. Caseta has pro devices that you can't buy the pro devices through big box stores.
