Highlights

Integrated smart infrastructure that saves Homeowners $30K and one month of construction delays

1. Full-spectrum intelligence and architectural design—from blueprints to execution—streamline coordination with GCs, electricians, and homeowners.

2. Proactive oversight prevented approximately $30,000 in construction and material losses and avoided a one-month extension in the build timeline.

3. Achieved elegant installations in challenging spots (e.g., 133" full-width shades, L-shaped corner floor-to-ceiling shades, triangular windows) using Tailored Fit for Every Opening—a Lutron specialty with RadioRA 3.

4. Comprehensive system includes low-voltage wiring, lighting control (switches, tape lights), security (CCTV, sensors, smart doorbells/locks), automation scenes, robust networking (Lutron wireless + Wi-Fi6 mesh), and climate systems (smart panels, energy efficiency, HVAC, floor heating).

Top-tier performance and reliability with Lutron’s latest technology

1. RadioRA 3 (RA3) leverages a Clear Connect RF mesh network—the industry gold standard—for instant, interference-resilient communication, independent of Wi-Fi.

2. Supports up to 100 Clear Connect Type-X devices per processor (expandable to 400 with dual processors), ideal for large luxury ADUs.

3. Centralized PoE-powered RA3 Hub installation requires no wall outlet, simplifies setup, and improves RF coverage.

4. Sunnata switches, dimmers, and keypads deliver sleek, customizable design, with options for personalized engraving and premium finishes.

5. Lutron shades use Hembar Alignment™ technology for whisper-quiet, synchronized movement, with high-quality fabrics that ensure durability and visual harmony.

Built with confidence—protected by industry-leading support

1. 8-year limited warranty on Lutron Triathlon shades provides long-term peace of mind.

2. Moona’s licensed GC & electrician team ensures high-quality low-voltage wiring and installation, minimizing failure points and future maintenance.

3. Only rigorously tested products and certified installers are used for every project.

4. Optional Lutron Pro extended warranty adds an extra layer of expert support and reliability.

Effortless luxury home automation at your fingertips

1. Whole-home, scene-based lighting control, including tape lights, dimmers, and outdoor fixtures.

2. Vacation Mode improves security by mimicking occupancy with automated light behavior.

3. Intuitive operation via Apple HomeKit voice commands, Lutron scene keypads, and mobile app.

4. Seamless integration with Apple ecosystem devices, including security cameras and video doorbells.
