Lighting and shade control for all! Lutron Electronics has announced wireless, radio frequency-based communication for its Sivoia QED roller 64 roller shade system, when used with its HomeWorks lighting control system.

• The wireless Sivoia QED shade communicates via RF
• Roller shade tube requires 3.5 x 3.5 inches for installation
