Rithum and Lutron Electronics officially launched integrated support for Lutron RadioRA 3 inside the Rithum smart home platform, delivered through the new Rithum Pro Plugin.
Rithum said that the integration brings RadioRA 3 lighting and Sivoia motorized shading into Rithum, giving RadioRA 3 installations a touchscreen control point at the wall plus full climate control (with systems like Heatmiser, CoolAutomation and Rithum’s built-in Rithum Stat thermostat), multiroom audio and broad SIP intercom and CCTV support.
“RadioRA 3 has been one of the most-requested integrations from our installer community since it launched, and we’re proud to deliver it,” said Ryan Ovens, CEO at Rithum. “Lutron’s keypads provide elegant, intuitive control. What Rithum adds is a sleek touchscreen control point on the wall, fine dimming when you want it, and a full smart home platform around RadioRA 3 — climate, audio, intercoms and CCTV all in the same environment. Lutron keypads and Rithum touchscreens will work together to deliver both dedicated lighting control and whole-home smart home management.”
The company said that the Rithum Pro Plugin add a visual touchscreen layer to RadioRA 3 installs – fine dimming, shade positioning and dynamic scene selection from the same wall. The company also said Rithum Switch controls full climate via Heatmiser, CoolAutomation and Rithum’s built-in Rithum Stat thermostat, multiroom audio from systems like Sonos, BluOS and WiiM and broad SIP intercom and CCTV support from a wide range of manufacturers. One tap triggers a RadioRA 3 lighting scene alongside a shade move, a temperature change and music in the room.
The system is hubless on the Rithum side, as the processor sits inside every RIthum Switch and Rithum Switch Pro, alongside the touchscreen. When paired with a RadioRA 3 system, Rithum pulls existing scenes, circuits, zones and shades directly from the Lutron processor. The Rithum Pro Plugin for Lutron RadioRA 3 is available now.
“Rithum offers a smart home platform where RadioRA 3 can sit naturally alongside full climate, audio, intercom and CCTV control — exactly the kind of installer experience we want RadioRA 3 specified into,” said Ben Bard, vice president, Luxury Residential at Lutron Electronics. “We’re pleased to welcome them into the RadioRA 3 ecosystem.”
