What Are Motorized Shades?

First and foremost, motorized shades are the upgrade you didn’t know you needed. They’re the automated counterpart to manual shades and blinds, adding comfort and energy savings to any room. Plus, they’re convenient! At a moment’s notice, you can make adjustments without needing to walk from room to room.

What Styles And Colors Do Lutron Triathlon Shades Come In?

Lutron Triathlon Shades are available in a variety of styles and colors to suit any décor, including:

 

• Roller Shades: These come in an array of beautiful colors, fabrics, and textures. Whether you prefer sheer fabrics that preserve your view outside or blackout fabrics for complete privacy, there’s a style for you.

• Honeycomb Shades: Known for their insulating properties, honeycomb shades are available in a variety of colors and light-filtering options, including light-filtering single-cell, light-filtering double-cell, and room-darkening fabrics. The latest architectural honeycomb shades from Lutron feature a redesigned headrail that blocks light and looks more modern.

• Wood Blinds: Handcrafted from genuine North American Basswood, these blinds are available in 12 stained and 6 painted finishes for enhanced elegance and functionality.

• Custom-Fabricated Roman Shades: Available in flat, knife pleat, hobbled, and casual styles, wireless Roman shades add opulence to spaces and provide blackout performance without the need for design or construction work.

Are Lutron Triathlon Shades Battery-Operated Or Hardwired?

The battery-powered options feature industry-leading battery performance and are ideal for areas where wiring is not practical or cost-prohibitive. The innovative headrail design makes changing batteries easy and convenient.

Hardwired options are perfect for hard-to-reach windows or wherever you’d prefer not to deal with batteries. They can be powered by a plug-in power supply or a power panel that can control up to 10 shades. If you’re building a home, plan for shading and other smart home devices early on in your project to experience automated shading functionality at its fullest potential.

How Can I Control Lutron Shades?

Controlling Triathlon shades, along with Lutron’s other automated options, is always a user-friendly experience. You choose what works best for your lifestyle.  Use a voice command with Amazon Alexa, Josh.ai, or Google Assistant to enjoy hands-free operation in any room, or use an intuitive Pico smart remote for one-tap adjustments.

 If you always have your smartphone in your hands, you can use the Lutron app on a mobile device, even when you’re away from home, to adjust shades one by one or operate an entire home’s worth of shades. Wall-mounted keypads or tabletop touchscreens are another convenient way to adjust your shades. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and the Sound Xperience team can help you program every detail, so shading control is a breeze!

Do Lutron Triathlon Shades Integrate With Other Smart Home Systems?

Yes! Triathlon and other Lutron shades integrate with various smart home systems, including RadioRA 2, HomeWorks, and Control4. Additionally, they can be integrated with third-party systems for comprehensive home automation, allowing you to sync your shades with lights, temperature controls, and music systems.
