Lutron's New Aviena Keypad: Heritage Design Meets Smart Home Elegance

Discover the Latest Premium Lighting Controls from Lutron

There's something deeply satisfying about a well-crafted light switch – that solid click, the weighted feel, the sense of quality under your fingertips. Most smart home controls have shifted away from this tactile experience in favor of flat buttons or touchscreens. But what if you could have both the classic feel of a vintage toggle and the intelligence of modern lighting control?

Lutron's new Aviena keypad delivers just that. Combined with recent enhancements to their Palladiom line, these premium controls prove that smart home technology can honor traditional craftsmanship while delivering cutting-edge performance.

Introducing Aviena: The Heritage Toggle Reimagined

Lutron developed Aviena in response to growing demand for heritage aesthetics in luxury homes. Each Aviena keypad is hand-finished in solid brass, featuring weighted mechanical toggle switches that deliver that satisfying tactile click you remember from quality vintage switches. The design incorporates a modern curvilinear form that feels both familiar and fresh.

Aviena is available in seven Signature Metal finishes: Aged Brass, Aged Bronze, Brushed Brass, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, Graphite, and Champagne. The range of finishes makes it easy to coordinate with other fixtures and architectural details throughout your home.

Configuration options are flexible. Single-gang installations support 1, 2, or 4 toggles, while two-gang versions offer horizontal or vertical layouts. You can add single-line engraved text and iconography, personalized through Lutron's myProjects platform at the time of order.

Aviena integrates seamlessly with HomeWorks systems, controlling lighting, motorized shades, and temperature settings. Because it's native Lutron technology, you get the reliable, responsive performance the brand is known for.

Palladiom Enhancements: Expanding the Luxury Palette

Lutron expanded the Palladiom keypad series in October 2024 with two new Signature Metal finishes: Champagne and Matte Graphite. The Champagne finish features a warm, metallic hue that complements various decor styles, while Matte Graphite offers a sleek, modern aesthetic perfect for contemporary designs.

Lutron also introduced Aged Bronze brackets and hembar end caps for Palladiom shades, allowing coordination with Alisse keypads. These additions create a unified aesthetic across your Lutron lighting and shading controls. 

Understanding Lutron's Premium Keypad Options

Each Lutron premium keypad serves a different design vision. Alisse keypads feature hand-crafted solid brass with precision-etched engraving and button-based control. They've been the luxury standard for HomeWorks systems, offering the same Signature Metal finishes as Aviena.

Aviena distinguishes itself through mechanical toggle operation rather than button presses. It's specifically designed for spaces where traditional aesthetics matter – think historic homes, classic libraries, or formal dining rooms.

Palladiom takes a different approach, with its flush-to-wall, uniplanar design and dynamic backlighting. The buttons and faceplate are crafted from the same material for a contemporary, minimalist look.

All three coordinate within the same finish families, so you can choose based on each room's style while maintaining a cohesive look throughout your home.
