Lutron RadioRA 2 support in the Poconos
RadioRA 2 was Lutron's main whole-home lighting system for about a decade before RadioRA 3 replaced it, and it is still supported. A RadioRA 2 system is worth keeping: it can be serviced and expanded, and in many cases moved onto a RadioRA 3 processor while reusing existing dimmers and keypads. Most problems we see are a repeater that lost power or was moved, or programming that was never finished.

Your options
What we would do about it.
Cost. A typical whole-home Lutron system in a 3,000 sq ft lake house lands between $8,000 and $20,000 installed, depending on how many loads get dimmed and how many keypads replace them. More on Lighting Control
Is RadioRA 2 obsolete?
No. RadioRA 3 is Lutron's current system, but RadioRA 2 is still supported and still a sound system to own and expand.
Can my RadioRA 2 dimmers move to RadioRA 3?
Many can. A RadioRA 3 processor supports a large share of RadioRA 2 devices, so an upgrade often keeps what is on the walls. We check every device before quoting.
We do not have the original programming file. Is that a problem?
It helps but is not required. If it is lost, we rebuild the programming; the dimmers and keypads themselves are fine.
