Scene lighting and motorized shading with Lutron HomeWorks
OIKO is an ultra-high-end audiovisual and home-automation integrator, certified Lutron HTI (Hospitality Technology Integrator). OIKO designs, programs and commissions scene lighting and motorized shading with Lutron HomeWorks in 5-star palaces, UHNW villas and luxury flagships. The deployed systems rely on the Lutron HomeWorks QSX, Athena, Palladiom, Sivoia QS and Ketra ranges: lighting scenes, blackout, progressive dimming and integration with Crestron control. Lutron HomeWorks QSX drives the wired lighting of a residence or hotel, while Sivoia QS and Palladiom provide silent motorization of shades and drapery. Ketra delivers tunable lighting in temperature and intensity, reproducing natural light throughout the day.
What is Lutron HomeWorks scene lighting?
Lutron HomeWorks scene lighting groups several lighting and shade circuits under predefined scenes, triggered by a single press on a wall keypad. A scene simultaneously adjusts the intensity of each source, the color temperature and the shade position to create a mood — welcome, dinner, cinema, night, housekeeping.
- Lutron HomeWorks QSX: central wired processor for residences and hotels, up to several thousand dimming zones.
- Lutron Athena: lighting control platform for large-scale commercial and hospitality projects.
- Palladiom and Alisse keypads: custom-engraved wall controls, metal and glass finishes.
- Pico: wireless remotes for ad-hoc control of a zone or a scene.
Each scene is programmed by the OIKO teams according to the real uses of the space and the interior architect's intentions.
Lutron motorized shades: Sivoia QS and Palladiom
Lutron motorized shades integrate into the same system as the lighting, for unified control.
- Lutron Sivoia QS: silent motorization of roller shades, sheers and drapery, with precise alignment of multiple shades on a single façade.
- Lutron Palladiom Shading: architecturally designed shading system, reduced mechanism and headbox for discreet integration.
- Blackout: lined shades for total darkness in palace bedrooms and suites.
- Control by scene, by astronomical schedule (sunrise/sunset) and by light sensor.
Shades and lighting respond to the same scene: lower the shades and dim the lighting with a single press.
What does Ketra tunable lighting bring?
Ketra is Lutron's precision lighting technology. It reproduces natural light by continuously varying color temperature and intensity.
- Dynamic natural light: color temperature follows the sun's path, from warm white in the morning to cool white at midday.
- High color rendering to enhance materials, artworks and products — an asset in luxury flagships and galleries.
- Consistency from one source to another, with no color drift.
- Control integrated into HomeWorks and Athena scenes.
Ketra is particularly suited to spaces where light quality drives perception: flagships, palace suites, dining rooms.
Integration with Crestron control and the hotel room
OIKO integrates Lutron lighting and shades into the venue's overall control system. In a palace bedroom, Lutron lighting, shades, audio and climate are controlled from a single interface — wall keypad, touch panel or GRMS (Guest Room Management System).
- Lutron HomeWorks ↔ Crestron integration for unified control of all technical trades.
- Engraved Palladiom keypads and touch panels consistent with the venue's identity.
- Remote supervision and maintenance of Lutron installations.
The OIKO teams include certified programmers and coordinate lighting with architects, engineering consultants and other trades.
