Lutron Hardware Is Only Half of the System

Lutron builds some of the most reliable lighting control and shading hardware available. What it does not ship with is a lighting plan, a load schedule, or a keypad layout that matches how your client actually moves through the house.

That work happens before anything gets installed. Our in-house lighting and shading designers develop the fixture specification and control layout together, then our quality control managers verify performance during commissioning. Design intent and daily use stay aligned because one team owns both.

Hive Integration is a Lutron dealer serving Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Sarasota. We specify, install, program, and support the systems we put in, and we stay involved long after the certificate of occupancy through our service plan memberships.

What Lutron Lighting Control Delivers

Architectural Keypads

Replace banks of plastic switches with low-profile keypads in custom finishes and engraving that names what each button actually does.

Centralized Dimming

Move dimming hardware into a remote equipment closet, clearing wall space for art, millwork, and clean sightlines.

Scene Programming

One button press coordinates every fixture in a room or across the property, set to the light level a space needs at that hour.

Astronomical Scheduling

Lighting tracks local sunrise and sunset and adjusts across the seasons without anyone touching a control.

Tunable and Human-Centric Light

Color temperature shifts across the day, supporting focus during working hours and a calmer feel after dark.

Platform Integration

Lutron coordinates with Control4 smart home systems and Josh.ai voice control, so lighting lives inside the same interface as audio, video, climate, and security.

Motorized Shades and Window Treatments Built for Florida Glass

Large west and southwest-facing glass is one of the best features of a Tampa Bay home and one of the hardest to manage. Afternoon sun loads the interior with heat and reflected glare off the water compounds it. This level of UV exposure fades artwork, rugs, hardwood, and upholstery over time.

Motorized window treatments solve that quietly. Shades lower on a schedule or against the sun's position and retract fully when the view matters most. Shading coordinates with lighting and climate controls to keep interiors comfortable and well-illuminated.

We design and install the full range of Lutron shading, including:

  • Roller shades for clean lines and a wide fabric library.
  • Solar shades in varied openness factors, which control glare while preserving the view through the fabric.
    Blackout shades for primary suites, guest rooms, and media spaces.
  • Cellular shades where insulation value matters alongside light control.
  • Woven wood and roman shades for texture and a softer architectural presence.
    Sheer shades that diffuse light without closing off a room.
  • Drapery track systems that move existing fabric treatments onto automated control.
  • Exterior and lanai shading rated for heat, humidity, and coastal exposure.

Fabric selection happens alongside your interior designer rather than after the fact. Material, color, and opacity all change how a room looks and feels throughout the day. At Hive Integration, we believe those decisions deserve the same attention as any other finish in the house.

On new construction, shade pockets get planned during framing. Roller housings and side channels mount flush into the ceiling or header, so the hardware disappears entirely when the shades are up.

Choosing the Right Lutron Platform

Lutron builds several residential control platforms, and the right one depends on project scale, construction phase, and how much integration the home needs. A concise comparison helps builders scope the low-voltage package early.

CASÉTA RADIORA 3 HOMEWORKS
Best suited to A single room or a small home Whole-home control Estate-scale and architecturally complex homes
Device capacity 75 devices 400 devices Up to 10,000 zones
Architecture Wireless Wireless Wired and wireless
Wall controls Dimmers, switches, and Pico remotes Sunnata, Maestro RF, and SeeTouch keypad Palladiom, Alisse, Architrave, Signature Series, and more
Shading support Serena shades, with Sivoia QS and Palladiom wireless available through the Pro Hub Sivoia QS and Palladiom wireless Sivoia QS and Palladiom, wired or wireless
Ketra Integration Not supported Not supported Supported

We do not push every project toward the top tier. A guest house or a targeted kitchen and primary suite retrofit rarely justifies a whole-home processor, and recommending one anyway would undermine the rest of the relationship.

What Builders Get During Construction

Our process is built to keep your schedule intact and eliminate field guesswork.

01

Early Schematic Involvement

We join during design development, before electrical rough-in is finalized. This is where fixture counts, keypad locations, and shade pockets get resolved on paper instead of on site.

02

Complete Lighting Documentation

You receive lighting load schedules, keypad layouts with engraving detail, low-voltage pathway drawings, and equipment rack elevations before framing begins.

03

Electrical Coordination

We work directly with your electrical contractor on panel location, circuit assignments, and dimming module capacity, which prevents the load mismatches that surface at trim-out.

04

Dedicated Project Management

One Hive project manager owns the installation and interfaces with your site supervisor through closeout. No rotating contacts, no gaps in accountability.

05

Commissioning and Handoff

Every load gets tested, every scene gets tuned, and your client receives a walkthrough with documentation rather than a stack of manuals.

Providing Lutron Installations Across Tampa Bay

Our team works throughout the Gulf Coast, from historic South Tampa renovations to elevated waterfront construction on the barrier islands. Each market brings its own considerations around construction materials, sun exposure, and how much of the year a home is occupied, and our lighting and shading designs account for those differences.

Tampa  |  St. Petersburg  |  Clearwater  |  Sarasota  |  Davis Islands

We also serve homeowners and trade partners in Hyde Park, Harbour Island, Snell Isle, Belleair Beach, and surrounding Gulf Coast communities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lutron Systems

Can Lutron lighting control be added to an existing Tampa home without major renovation?
Wireless Lutron platforms install into existing wall boxes and communicate without new control wiring, which suits the plaster over masonry construction common in Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, and Davis Islands. Fishing new cable through those walls is slow and expensive, and wireless avoids it entirely. Wired systems remain the better choice for new builds and gut renovations, where pathways can be planned before drywall goes up.
How early should a custom builder bring a Lutron installer into a project?
During design development, before electrical rough-in is finalized. That timing allows us to deliver lighting load schedules, keypad layouts with engraving detail, low-voltage pathway drawings, and shade pocket dimensions in time for framing. Coordinating panel location, circuit assignments, and dimming module capacity with your electrical contractor at this stage prevents the load mismatches that otherwise surface at trim-out.
Does Lutron work with Control4 and other smart home systems?
Lutron communicates with Control4, Josh.ai, and other major control platforms. Lighting scenes can trigger alongside audio, video, climate, shading, and security, so a single command prepares an entire space. We handle the programming on both sides of that integration rather than leaving the two systems to operate independently.
Will my LED fixtures dim properly with Lutron?
Not every LED fixture dims cleanly. Flicker, buzzing, or a hard cutoff at the low end is usually a driver compatibility problem rather than a control problem. We verify fixture and driver compatibility against the dimming modules during specification, which is one of the main reasons the fixture selection and the control system belong in the same conversation.
What happens to an older Lutron system that is no longer supported?
Lutron has discontinued support for several legacy platforms, and systems that no longer receive firmware updates or replacement parts eventually become a liability. We assess what remains serviceable, what needs replacement, and where existing wiring can be reused. In many cases the original infrastructure reduces the scope of an upgrade considerably.
Which Lutron shades work best for west-facing windows in Florida?
Solar shades with a low openness factor handle glare and heat gain while keeping the view visible through the fabric. Openness between one and three percent performs well on bay-facing glass. Blackout fabrics suit bedrooms and media rooms where light control matters more than the view. Fabric selection happens alongside your interior designer, and samples can be reviewed at either Tampa showroom, since openness factor, color, and weave all change how a room reads in the afternoon.
How does salt air and humidity affect motorized shades in Gulf Coast homes?
Interior shades in a conditioned space are unaffected. Exterior and lanai shading needs weather-rated fabric, sealed motors, and corrosion-resistant hardware. Placement and conduit routing matter just as much, and we plan both alongside the architecture so components stay protected without adding visible clutter to the space.
What kind of support is available after a Lutron system is installed?
Support runs through our dedicated client app, phone, and text. Remote system monitoring often catches issues before you notice them, and firmware updates are managed in the background. Tiered service plan memberships add priority scheduling, guaranteed response times, and scheduled system health checks.
