At Audio Concepts, we upgrade New England homes with the latest in smart technology, from lighting systems to home theater setups. But one of the most transformative additions we install? Smart motorized shades—especially when they're from Lutron, a brand we trust for their precision engineering and timeless design.

These aren’t your average window treatments. If you’re curious about motorized blinds, here’s what makes Lutron’s smart shades a cut above, and why more homeowners in New England are choosing them.

Quiet Enough to Go Unnoticed—In the Best Way

The first thing you’ll notice about Lutron shades is what you don’t notice: noise.

Their motors are whisper-quiet, less than a decibel. That means your shades glide into position without drawing attention to themselves. There’s no mechanical buzz or whirring—just a smooth transition from light to privacy or warmth to coolness. The only sign anything changed is the shift in natural light.

If you’ve used standard motorized shades before, you’ll know this alone is a game-changer.

Alignment That’s Always Perfect

Ever seen a row of shades or blinds that just don’t quite line up? Lutron solved that, too.

With Intelligent Hembar Alignment (IHA), multiple shades across a room or home move in unison and land at the exact same height. No awkward staggered finishes. This is especially important for large or open-concept spaces, where visual continuity matters.

Customize It Your Way

From the fabric to the finish, these shades are anything but one-size-fits-all. Lutron offers thousands of fabric options, including sheer, blackout, and solar screen options. Want your keypads to match your metal fixtures? Choose from brushed nickel, matte black, or even custom painted finishes.

Already have drapes you love? We can motorize your existing materials or have Lutron color-match your blinds to blend seamlessly into your room. This kind of customization is one reason why homeowners looking for smart shades in Boston, MA, or Manchester, NH, end up with Lutron. 

Smarter Control of Natural Light

One standout feature many homeowners don’t expect is Natural Light Optimization (NLO).

With NLO, your roller shades will automatically adjust throughout the day and across seasons, based on your home’s actual location and the sun’s position. Using your home’s latitude, longitude, and window orientation, the shades subtly shift to optimize lighting and energy efficiency without any manual programming.

Whether it’s a snowy February morning or a bright June afternoon, your shading system adjusts in real time. 

Designed for Seamless Integration

These shades work with Lutron’s HomeWorks QSX and RadioRA 3, which in our opinion, are the pinnacle of lighting control systems. For homes with existing smart systems or those starting from scratch, we ensure your new shades work together with the rest of your smart home ecosystem.
