## Description

Control your home's lights, shades, temperature, keypads, and more from iPhone and iPad with the Lutron RadioRA 2 + HWQS App. This requires a compatible RadioRA 2 or HomeWorks QS system and the Lutron Connect Bridge. From anywhere, create scenes, adjust climate, and bring Ketra lighting into your mood with dynamic color temperature and brightness options.

Personalize keypad settings, schedule scenes by time or sunrise/sunset, and use geofencing to automate and monitor your space. The Today Widget lets you trigger favorites at a glance, while battery alerts keep you informed about wireless controls and sensors. Note: continued GPS use can impact battery life, and initial setup requires approved software and a compatible system.

## Review summary

User reviews consistently cite reliability and usability issues with the Lutron RadioRA 2 + HWQS app. Recurrent problems include connection failures after updates, crashes and reloads, and an outdated UI with limited customization. Many features touted as advantages are undermined by poor integration with ecosystems and dealer-dependent workflows. Overall, reviewers view the app as inadequately supported for a premium system and in need of modernization and ongoing maintenance.

### Pros

- Basic control of the RA2 lighting system via the iOS app (works when the app is stable).
- The app shows which loads/lights are currently on in the main view, aiding at-a-glance status checks.
- As the official RA2/HWQS control app, it provides a single interface to manage the system.

### Cons

- Frequent connection issues after updates, with many users reporting the app cannot connect to the bridge.
- Stability problems: app crashes or fails to load, requires reinstall, and users are prompted for a new password on reopen.
- Outdated, clunky UI that is not intuitive and not optimized for modern iOS devices.
- Limited customization and control: hard to sort favorites/devices and many changes require dealer intervention.
- Poor ecosystem integration: HomeKit compatibility is unreliable, Ring integration is not readily available, and widgets are lacking.
