Smart Lighting Control in Seattle

Most modern smart dimmers and switches require a neutral wire. Some (like Lutron Caseta) are specifically designed to work without a neutral — we assess your wiring during consultation and recommend accordingly.

Yes — smart switches work with any dimmable LED fixture. We verify compatibility during assessment and can recommend fixture upgrades where needed.

Caseta is a simpler, more affordable system ideal for most homes. RadioRA 2 supports larger installations, more devices, and deeper integration with Control4 and other platforms.

Yes, in most cases — replacing a standard switch with a smart switch is straightforward. Our licensed electricians handle the installation as part of any smart lighting project.

Checking your existing wiring and fixtures for compatibility, replacing switches and dimmers with hardwired smart controls, adding the hub or bridge the system needs, and programming scenes, schedules and voice control. Every system is programmed and tested before we leave, and we show you how to adjust it yourself.

We walk through the home and open a few switch boxes to see whether neutral wires are present and which fixtures are dimmable. From there we recommend a system — Caseta for most homes, RadioRA 2 or Control4 for larger ones — and install it room by room. The last step is setting up scenes and schedules with you, including circadian settings if you want them.

The number of switches and dimmers, the system you choose, whether neutral wires or fixture upgrades are needed, and how much programming you want — a few schedules versus whole-home scenes tied to keypads and other systems. Starting with the rooms you use most and expanding later is common.

Hardwired systems like Lutron keep working as normal light switches and dimmers without internet, and their scenes and schedules run locally from the hub. What you lose during an outage is remote control from outside the house and some voice assistant features.

Yes. Lutron Caseta works with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa and Google Home, and RadioRA 2 integrates with Control4 and other professional platforms. We set up the integration you use and name the rooms and scenes so voice control works naturally.

Lighting that changes color temperature through the day: cooler, brighter light in the morning and warmer, dimmer light in the evening. It needs tunable fixtures and a system that can schedule them. With Seattle's long gray winters, it can make a noticeable difference from October through April.
