Once an integrator installs and programs a Lutron RadioRAÒ 2 or HomeWorks QS System, the ELAN g! system imports the data from the Lutron system. Once imported, the integrator can pick and choose what they want to display on any of the g! user interfaces. ELAN provides templates to match the Lutron in-wall keypads so the integrator can simply drop any keypad onto the g! user interface and it will behave the same way as the Lutron in-wall keypad.

The integrator can then add automation for the lights to turn on and off based on preset schedules or activity-based events such as arming or disarming the security system, motion detection, driveway sensors and more. The g! software also makes it easy to create additional scenes that can be controlled from any g! interface and are unique from the scenes driven by the Lutron in-wall keypads.

The g! software version 5.4 includes enhanced support for Lutron's Sivoiaâ QS shade control, offering homeowners more control for improved energy management, safety, comfort and convenience. It also integrates Lutron's new temperature control products.

Lutron's HomeWorks QS system integrates the control of all your lights, interior and exterior, and regulates a home's daylight with window shade control. The system integrates with other manufacturers' audio/visual and HVAC controls for broader control of your home environment, and it does all of that while saving energy.
