Lutron has announced the launch of new HomeKit-compatible Caséta Smart Shades at CES 2025. The shades integrate with Apple’s HomeKit and other smart home platforms. They can be controlled through schedules, in-wall controls, remotes, the Lutron app, the Home app, or via voice commands.
This launch marks the first time smart shades are available under the Caséta brand. It offers a more affordable option compared to Lutron’s previous smart shade models. The shades are designed to move quietly and in near-perfect unison.
They have been tested to ensure performance for over 10 years. Consumers can choose between roller or honeycomb styles. The shades are available in white or gray.
