How to setup Smart away in Caséta or RA2 Select (2024)

Overview

Smart Away is a feature to give you peace of mind while you are away from your home. Smart Away can be turned On/Off manually or automatically. When Smart Away is on, there will be a banner shown on the Home Page of the Lutron App to let you know it is active.

Features

Randomization - Smart Away can randomly turn lights on and off throughout a specified time range to make it look like someone is home. Specifically, it does the following:

• Any lights that are selected during setup will be randomly turned on and off
• Smart Away will randomize the lights between the set Start Time and End Time.
• The lights that are selected will be turned on once and then turned off once between the Start and Stop times entered.
• Shades cannot be included in Smart Away Randomization

Things to keep in mind

• The system must have a good internet connection to get accurate times so that it knows when to start or stop Smart Away
• The time zones set on the system will impact when the lights randomize. Double check these settings by going to Settings>Advanced>Time and Location to make sure your time zone is set correctly
