RA3 System Review

 Lutron raises the bar once again. 10 years in the making, RadioRA 3 is a new, game-changing system that promises to transform the   way Homeowners look at smart and connected lighting control. RadioRA 3 brings the contemporary light bar design to a full range of   connected devices such as dimmers, switches and keypads. The enhanced functionality and new aesthetic look of  the Sunnata dimmer makes it   the ideal alternative to traditional dimmer styles. The light bar’s soft glow makes it easy to locate the switch or dimmer in the dark.   The brightness  level of the light bar is adjustable, including the option to turn it off in rooms where homeowners might want full darkness. 

 Simpler to Program and Customize for Lutron Certified Installers

 With its new simplified software, RadioRA 3 will save you a lot of time. Easily manage device count across the total  system, no more   assigning rooms to individual repeaters. Create floor, room or sub-room hierarchies so the design is intuitive to your clients and reduces   data entry by applying programming across devices with one click. Upgrading a RA 2 system is quick and easy to convert the existing   RadioRA2 programming to the new RadioRA3 processor with a few clicks.

 With the new app-based editing features, Installers will be able to do jobsite refinements in real time with clients, avoiding few                         call backs later. And if you do get requested changes after install, the new remote service programming feature means  you can make adjustments from your location, saving time and unnecessary travel.

The new processor is powered by PoE, so pros can place it centrally in the home, without the need for a nearby power outlet, to optimize the system’s RF network connectivity. It allows clients to connect up to 200 devices featuring Lutron’s proprietary Clear Connect RF technology for outstanding reliable performance. It is easy to program via a computer and through Lutron’s app, which can be used on the jobsite to efficiently fully set up the system, refine settings easily, and incorporate real-time client feedback. Also, it’s simple to make system changes remotely, post install, meaning fewer service calls. RadioRA 3 offers backwards compatibility with most RadioRA 2 and RA2 Select devices, so existing customers can expand their systems with new RadioRA 3 wall controls.            NOTES ON INSTALLATION RadioRA 3 Sunnata dimmers and switches REQUIRE a neutral connection            What are the system limitations? A RadioRA 3 system can have a maximum of one (1) Processor and (4) Auxiliary Repeaters for the extra RF range coverage. (maximum 10,000 sq ft) The RadioRA 3 processor works with both the new RadioRA 3 Sunnata Devices (Clear Connect-Type X) and existing RadioRA 2/RadioRA 2 Select (Clear Connect Type-A) Devices Each RA 3 processor controls up to 200 devices (including the processor and 4 repeaters) with the following limitations:    RadioRA 3 Sunnata Devices (Clear Connect-Type X):  A maximum of 100 Sunnata dimmers, keypads, switches and other compatible devices can be added to a RA 3 system.  The Sunnata companion dimmers/switches DO NOT count toward the 100 device limitation. RA 3 Sunnata Devices (Clear Connect-Type X) communicate using a wireless mesh topology. In order to assure proper communication, these rules must be adhered to when designing the system. Important: ALL Sunnata RF (Clear Connect-Type X) devices should be located within 75ft of the RA 3 processor At least 2 Sunnata RF devices (not including companion dimmers/switches) must be located within 25ft of the RA 3 processor Each Sunnata RF device (not including companion dimmers/switches) must be located within 25 ft of two other Sunnata RF Devices Many homeowners would like to know the cost of Lutron RadioRA 3 components.
