What is the difference between programming and configuring a RadioRA3 system?

Programming requires PC Software:  The PC software is required to initialize system set up for the first time and is used for any major editing or programming changes.  This includes initial device activation, programming and integrations.  Using the PC Programming software makes for a simple and efficient installation and programming process.  NOTE:  The PC Programming Software is only available to professional installers who have successfully completed on-line training.  

Configuration requires the Lutron App:  The Lutron app is used to tweak the system programming completed in the PC Software.  The Lutron App can be utilized by the professional installer to remotely access into the system to make any small edits that do not require the PC tool.  In addition, the Homeowner can do any subsequent editing that may be desired once the initial set up is completed by the professional. Multiple features are available for the customer to create the perfect environment without impacting the core programming.


Who can sell and program a RadioRA 3 System?

RadioRA 3 is designed to be sold and programmed by a network of trained installation professionals.  Access to the PC Programming Software is only available to installers who successfully complete Lutron's RadioRA 3 on-line training program.
