Eight Reasons to Upgrade to Lutron HomeWorks QSX

Baker Stone Recommends Lutron HomeWorks QSX

Are you a Lutron lover who is wondering just what the benefits of upgrading to HomeWorks QSX are? Maybe you’ve been using another brand and Lutron HomeWorks QSX has made you question what you are missing out on. Whatever the situation, Baker Stone has compiled a list of reasons why it's worth taking the leap and investing in the amazing new Lutron HomeWorks QSX  system.

QSX offers benefits that Lutron users could only dream about in the past:

1.     Control it your way

Control your lights and other systems with the touch of a button, a click on a remote control or a voice command. We can set up your Lutron HomeWorks QSX system in a variety of ways to make your life easy, and your lighting effective and attractive.

Keep your blinds down and your lights up on cold winter mornings, have air-conditioning exactly where you need it during hot summer days and turn all your lights off easily with a master switch when you’re leaving the house. These are just a few ideas to illustrate what can be done with Lutron HomeWorks QSX. The fact is that The HomeWorks system is so flexible that almost any electrical device in the home can be integrated and made to work just the way you want it to.

2.     Light up your life  at any scale, from LEDs to Light Shows

HomeWorks QSX is massively scalable on many levels. The system can be installed and used anywhere from individual hotel rooms and holiday apartments to massive mansions and villas. In terms of the lights it can control, these run from individual LEDs and remote lights to incredible, multicoloured light shows that form the centrepiece of a party.

3.     Stay ahead of the law with Lutron HomeWorks QSX’s small-scale specialism

While it can control many lights, blinds and other systems across a large space, HomeWorks QSX was designed with the small scale in mind. This means you can rely on the system to do the little things that are oh-so-important, whether that be closing the blinds on cold evenings or dimming the lights on movie night.

This factor is important in the UK in particular, as new laws and regulations are set to make LEDs more widespread and popular as other light fittings become obsolete. Having a smart home lighting system that specialises in small fittings and LEDs will mean you’re prepared for the future. While old systems were not optimised to these lights, Lutron HomeWorks QSX has dimmers and other devices that are designed to work with the characteristics of LEDs in particular; Thus eliminating buzzing and reducing excess energy consumption.

4.     Create your constellation of sustainable stars

LEDs are the most power-efficient types of lights that are widely available to homeowners today and Lutron HomeWorks QSX makes the most of their efficiency. This means that you can have the most energy-efficient lights running in the most efficient way throughout your home. What’s more, a well-designed and integrated Lutron HomeWorks QSX system allows you to save energy in dozens of ways throughout your home. Have lights turn themselves off after the room has been empty for a preset time. Turn off your heating, ventilation and boiler from your phone while away; and we have already mentioned the ability to drop your blinds automatically in cold weather. All of these can help you save a serious amount of energy and help the environment.

5.     Integrate much more than just lighting

As Lutron has become a leading name in smart systems creation, it makes sense for the new systems on offer to control more than just your lights. Lutron HomeWorks QSX offers highly intelligent automation throughout the home, incorporating:

  • A huge variety of lights
  • Curtains and Blinds
  • Temperature and energy controls.
  • Third-party audio-visual devices, such as Sonos
  • Voice control technologies such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. 

6.     Incorporate a wide array of different brands

Wide and effective integration means users can combine this leading, effective system with the best of other brands throughout their home. Otherwise, you can pick whatever you feel is best from a long list of leading brands including Savant, Control4, Crestron Home, Sonos, Apple Home, Amazon Alexa and Google.

In fact, The Lutron ecosystem is so diverse and effective that almost any electrical device in the home can be integrated.

7.     Replace your old Lutron system with a new one and get extended support

If you have had a Lutron system installed without ongoing support in the past, it could be susceptible to problems. Lutron systems are among the most durable of the popular smart lighting systems. However, they have also been around the longest, thanks to a company that was installing user-oriented lighting long before the start of the smart home revolution. That means even these sustainable systems are starting to fail with age, and if you don’t have an ongoing warranty and support, you could have problems. Fortunately, Baker Stone offer Lutron HomeWorks QSX Installation with an extended warranty and ongoing support. These advanced systems with improved processors can replace your older Lutron smart light system controls, and if anything goes wrong, we will be there to support you.

8.     Expand easily

We have already mentioned how HomeWorks QSX can control anything from a small studio apartment to a large villa or hotel. With it, the size of your smart lighting system will not be static, either. The system can be easily and effectively expanded, with both new and old sections retaining full functionality and integration.

Install or expand Lutron HomeWorks QSX even more easily with Baker Stone

Of course, working with able, experienced integration experts like Baker Stone makes scaling up much easier. That was certainly the case in our stunning Kensington townhouse expansion - A smart home in London that benefited from our system expansion, as we helped the system grow with the building. 

On that particular expansion project, we matched the seamless sophistication of the expansion by developing what one smart home tech distributor called a “beautifully automated Lutron system”.
