Categories at a Glance

Tier-1 ultra-luxury custom-installer systems — Crestron (Home, Pyng), Savant (Pro, Lighting), Control4 (OS3, now part of Snap One), Vantage Controls (Equinox, InFusion), Elan (now Nice), and URC Total Control define the dealer-installed whole-home automation category. These are not products you buy off the shelf — they are designed, programmed, and commissioned by a CEDIA-certified custom integrator. A typical Crestron Home or Savant project ties together lighting, motorized shades, climate, security, multi-room audio, distributed video, voice control, and energy monitoring into a single touchpanel + mobile-app experience. Catalogs at this tier are full design guides — lifestyle photography of complete builds, scene-by-scene programming examples, keypad finish options across dozens of metals and engraving styles, and the full keypad / touchpanel / processor / lighting-module / shade-motor / network-switch hardware family.

Tier-2 premium lighting and shade control — Lutron HomeWorks QSX and RadioRA 3 are the dealer-installed Lutron systems used in 90% of high-end residential lighting-control projects in North America. Lutron Athena is the corresponding commercial-grade platform with significant residential overlap for large-floorplate homes. Leviton Lumina RF, Legrand Adorne and Radiant, and Legrand Wattstopper round out the premium category. Catalogs cover the dimmer / switch / keypad / sensor / motor / hub family, scene programming methodology, fixture compatibility matrices for LED dimming, and the integration path with the major control systems (Crestron, Savant, Control4) above.

Tier-3 mass-premium DIY smart-home — Lutron Caseta is the gateway product that brings dealer-grade Lutron quality into the homeowner-installable DIY tier. Brilliant Smart Home Control, Aqara, and Josh.ai are the AI-and-voice-driven smart hubs at the mass-premium tier. Ecobee covers the smart-thermostat category. Catalogs at this tier emphasize ease of installation, mobile-app screenshots, and works-with compatibility logos (Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, Matter).

Smart locks — Yale Assure, Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo, and Level Lock define the residential smart-lock category. Yale and Schlage are owned by ASSA ABLOY and Allegion respectively, the two global leaders in mechanical locksmithing — smart locks from these brands inherit the underlying mechanical-lock quality that's been refined over a century. Kwikset's SmartKey re-keying system is unique in the smart-lock category, letting homeowners re-key the lock themselves without a locksmith call.

Tier-4 specialty install components — Aqara covers the Matter-and-Zigbee-native sensor ecosystem at a mass-market price; the 2024 Aqara Catalogue covers door/window sensors, motion sensors, smart plugs, motorized curtain drivers, video doorbells, hubs, and the camera lineup. SnapAV / Snap One is the dealer-distribution arm that supplies Control4, Sonance, and other architectural-AV product to custom integrators.

What to Look For in a Smart Home Catalog

The dealer-trade design guides (Crestron, Savant, Control4, Lutron HomeWorks) are explicitly aimed at integrators planning a complete build, but they are extremely valuable for the homeowner who's planning a new construction or major renovation. Look for: system architecture diagrams showing how the processor, keypads, dimmers, and motors interconnect; load-handling specs (dimmer wattage ratings, LED compatibility, neutral-required vs no-neutral wiring); keypad finish and engraving options, which can vary across 20+ metals, paints, and laser-engraved button labels per system; integration partners (does the platform talk to Sonos, Lutron, Hunter Douglas, Apple Home, etc.); and scene-programming examples that show what's actually possible in a real build. Catalogs in this category are mailed free to homeowners and contractors planning a project — request them well before any design meeting with a custom integrator.

Designing a Whole-Home System

A whole-home smart-home build is best structured around three concentric loops. First, the infrastructure loop — structured wiring (CAT6A to every keypad, dimmer load center, shade motor, and AV rack), a managed network switch, and dedicated electrical home runs for lighting and motor loads. Second, the control loop — the choice of platform (Crestron Home, Savant Pro, Control4 OS3, or for lighting-only Lutron HomeWorks QSX) drives every downstream hardware decision. Third, the experience loop — the keypads, touchpanels, voice assistants, and mobile app that are how the family actually interacts with the system. Get the first two right and you'll be living in the third for 20-plus years.

Free Smart Home & Lighting Controls Catalogs by Mail

Most of the brochures below are mailed free to homeowners, contractors, and custom integrators. Tier-1 systems (Crestron, Savant, Control4) and the Lutron HomeWorks family are sold only through dealer-trade channels — the printed catalog is the spec document a CEDIA-certified integrator will reference during the design phase. Request the print edition before your design meeting; dealers will work from the catalog you bring in, not from a generic website tour.
