Lutron upgrades HomeWorks with powerful QSX processor

Lutron has announced an upgrade to its residential HomeWorks whole-home platform, with a new processor, with expanded capabilities. The company has also confirmed the launch of a new range of keypads in Europe

Making its European debut, the Lutron HomeWorks QSX processor is designed to make HomeWorks easier to design, install, activate, program, and service.

“The new HomeWorks platform sums up the Lutron Difference.” says Nate Hagemeier, Senior Sales Director Europe and Africa at Lutron. “It’s a game-changing addition to our international portfolio of products and solutions.”

With more processing power and memory, it enables the system to manage larger, more complex projects and support future capabilities. Hagemeier describes the launch of QSX as the “largest ever innovation investment in HomeWorks.”

The new system auto-updates, maintaining device support, and installing security updates. The QSX processor is also backwards compatible with all existing HomeWorks wired QS and wireless RF devices. Integrators can upgrade existing HomeWorks QS systems, carrying databases forward.

There’s also the promise of greater device support. The QSX processor works with third-party products using built-in Connect Bridge technology. For added confidence, there’s also cloud back-up, so system integrators never lose a project file
