Lighting Control’s Best Accessory: Lutron’s Wall Keypads
Another Reason to Get Excited about Lutron Smart Lighting
Lutron is a lighting control system that lets you intelligently automate your home’s LED lights and shades. But it’s not just a controller. Lutron also offers a breadth of light fixtures, shades, and wall keypads that enhance the home lighting experience.
We’ve written about Lutron’s lighting and shading solutions—but let’s look at their eye-catching and design-oriented keypads. In our humble opinion, replacing your regular on/off light switches with sleek, customizable buttons is one of the most exciting benefits of a Lutron system!
Here’s what we love about Lutron’s wall keypads and what they can offer your Bay Area home.

What Do Lutron Keypads & Dimmers Do?
Unlike standard light switches and dimmers, Lutron’s wall keypads don’t only turn on the lights, but transform their color and brightness with motorized window shades too. Your Lutron dealer can program personalized lighting settings that are activated with one press on the keypad. Want warm lighting in the dining room and bright colors for hosting a party? Buttons like “Morning” and “Dine” set the room just how you like it, adjusting each light and window shade for the perfect atmosphere.
How Are Lutron Keypads Installed?
Keypad installation will depend on the home project. In houses with finished walls, wireless keypads make more sense. Lutron’s SeeTouch and Sunnata are sleek, wireless options that are installed much like a regular light switch.
If you’re building a new house or renovating, that’s an excellent opportunity for us to install the data wiring required for Lutron’s luxury wired keypads. Lutron’s aesthetically-pleasing Palladiom and Alisse keypads use additional data wiring to communicate with the Lutron controller and will need four-conductor wires. Your smart home installer will handle all of this for you. You can simply enjoy the stunning results!
How Are Buttons Customized?
Your Lutron dealer will program lighting settings to the keypads. If you’re located in the Bay Area, Hermary’s is the area’s dedicated Lutron installer. You’re free to create and save new lighting scenes on the Lutron app anytime, but if you’d like to change your button settings, we’re just a phone call away.
What Styles Are There?
Lutron offers many different keypad styles. The Alisse model features an old-fashioned, European aesthetic with small circular buttons, like something you’d find in a Wes Anderson movie. The Palladiom keypads are stylish and modern with LED backlights that make controls easy to see in the dark. Palladiom is available in matte, metal, and glass finishes to complement any interior design. SeeTouch is a ‘wireless’ option that can include up to seven buttons and is also available in metal or matte finishes. There are even more styles to choose from to make lighting control your own.
Lighting control isn’t limited to phone apps or remotes. If you’re interested in smart home lighting, don’t miss the opportunity to upgrade your light switches for Lutron’s beautiful keypads!
