This is a Lutron seeTouch International keypad.  Shown here in a brushed bronze finish it’s available in a whole range of different finishes including polished metals, brushed finishes, bespoke metallic finishes and glass.  It’s been the most popular control interface we’ve offered over the last 15 years because it’s recognisably a lighting keypad, it sits where you’d expect a light switch to be and it has engraved buttons that give you an idea of what’s going to happen when you press them.

It does a lot more than a light switch though.  This keypad controls the lighting across a space, offering different lighting scenes in the right hand column of buttons.  It controls blinds as well: Open, Close, Move to a preset level.  There are dimming buttons, raising or lowering the total light level if needed.

It might do even more than that.  We can program Lutron keypad buttons to behave differently depending on how they are pressed.  So we might add an extra function for you, the house owner.  No-one else needs to know this but you might also want to be able to turn off the whole floor or even the house from this keypad.  We can program that Off button to turn off the room when it’s pressed normally but turn off the whole house or ground floor when it’s pressed and held for 3 seconds.  Discreet power for you, no visible complications for your house guests.

Taking it a stage further, Lutron can be integrated into wider home automation systems like Control4 and Crestron.  Lutron keypads can provide quick and simple access to wider smart home features like multiroom audio.
