CES 2025: Lutron Debuts HomeKit-Compatible Caséta Smart Shades

Lutron today announced the launch of new Caséta Smart Shades that are able to integrate with HomeKit and other smart home platforms. Priced at $399, the Caséta shades can be controlled using schedules, in-wall controls, remotes, the Lutron app, the Home app, or Siri voice commands.

These are the first smart shades that are available under the Caséta brand, and they are more affordable than Lutron's prior smart shade options. Lutron says that the Caséta shades have been designed to move quietly in near-perfect unison and have been tested to perform for more than 10 years.

Caséta Smart Shades can be used with Caséta lights and smart switches to control natural light alongside light from lamps and overhead fixtures. The shades come in roller or honeycomb styles and can be purchased in white or gray.

All shades up to 48 inches wide and 80 inches high are $399, with larger custom sizes in widths up to 96 inches and lengths up to 104 inches are available at an extra cost. There's also an option to add blackout functionality for an additional $30.

The Caséta Smart Shades will begin shipping in February 2025.

How are these shades powered?
I'm guessing with electricity.

Come on Lutron, is this really the best you can do?

Caseta is, IMHO, the finest set of switches and dimmers available for HK but plugs seem to be a glaring hole in their offerings.

What?

They already make a plug, it is hideous, I am only asking for an updated version.

This very article, highlighting shades, is them diverging from what they do so well!
That plug is meant specifically to be used with lamps, for lighting. It even says in the instructions: "Use only with dimmable LED, dimmable CFL, halogen, or incandescent lamps."

Still pricy. I know they are Lutron....I do like the other brands that have solar charging options. that seems the best when you have a powered device right beside a window.
Ummm, you're over thinking it - i've had Lutron Serena shades on the same D cell batteries for 18 months now and counting. There is no overheating issue, these are massive sun-drenched windows, stuff just works sometimes. I know, hard to fathom. Price, that's where you have a real point - the Serena's are way too expensive. Maybe Caseta can offer some more color/fabric options and then I'd be more optimistic about them at a lower price point.
