Lutron HomeWorks Features

SECURITY
Connect HomeWorks to a security system to activate lights in case of a fire or burglar alarm. In the event of an intrusion, the inside lights can be set to full ON and the outside lights can be set to FLASH to draw attention. In the event of a fire, lights along the shortest path of egress can be turned on to a medium level such that the smoke is not blinding and your family knows how to get out quickly. Security Mode may also be activated manually from a keypad. When Security Mode is deactivated, the lighting returns to the original levels set before Security Mode was activated.
 
VACATION MODE
HomeWorks constantly monitors and records the state of all lighting in a home. When Vacation Mode is activated, the system plays back your real-life lighting events, providing a realistic appearance of activity while the home is unoccupied. Vacation mode randomization is also an option. Randomization slightly varies the times at which lighting events occur, thus creating a more realistic image of an occupied home. The system can be programmed to record the last day’s, the last week’s, or the last two weeks’ activities.
 
ASTRONOMICAL TIMECLOCK
HomeWorks can automatically trigger events at specific times of the day or at times relative to sunrise or sunset. By knowing your location, HomeWorks knows when the daily sunrise/senset times occur. HomeWorks even adjusts for seasonal changes in daylight savings time. Program multiple schedules allowing for different timeclock events on weekdays, weekends, holidays, etc. For example, you may want to turn your landscape lights on 15 minutes before sunset every night and use the sprinkler system to water the lawn every other day at sunrise.

PROGRAMMING FLEXIBILITY
HomeWorks Keypads can be customized to meet your changing needs. Each keypad button may be programmed to activate any of the lights in the system. Keypad buttons may also be programmed to control audio, video, and other integrated subsystems. And keypads can be engraved, letting you know for certain the programming behind the buttons.

EXTENSIVE COLORS AND FINISHES
With HomeWorks extensive array of colors and finishes, you choose the look you want for the unique décor of your home. Whether you want a contrasting metal finish keypad in the bedroom or a more subtle dimming control on the kitchen backsplash, HomeWorks extensive colors and finishes allow you to create the look you want.

 AESTHETIC CONSISTENCY
HomeWorks keypads and local lighting controls complement each other with matching colors, styles, and finishes. After all, the receptacle on the backsplash of your kitchen should match the color of the dimmer. A full range of wallplates, receptacles, telephone jacks, and cable jacks are available to match system controls. Architectural-style faceplates can even be customized to match a home’s paint, wallcoverings, or decor.
 
BACKLIT KEYPADS
HomeWorks seeTouch and Signature Series keypads are backlit so that the button labels are easily read in a dark room. No need to turn the lights on to read the buttons that are supposed to turn the lights on.
