Athena
Purpose-built for uncompromising commercial lighting projects, Athena harmonizes lighting, window treatments & controls to create next-level experiences—designed to expand effortlessly from a single space to entire properties.
DESIGN FREEDOM
Design with Lutron's full portfolio.
Wired or wireless. New construction or large-scale retrofits. Athena gives architects and designers access to Lutron's full portfolio of lighting, window treatments, and controls.
NATIVE INTEGRATION
Built together to work together.
Lighting, window treatments, and controls built from the start to work together—no gateways, no middleware, just one control plane. Lutron's seamless integration delivers faster response times, simplified system programming, and reliable performance.
SHAPED BY DAYLIGHT
Dynamic lighting that follows the sun.
Athena knows its geographical location and tracks time of day, allowing the system to orchestrate window treatments and lighting to respond to the movement of the sun. Shades adjust to prevent glare and heat gain, as lighting shifts in color temperature and intensity.
SCALABLE BY DESIGN
Made to span any project footprint.
From boutique showrooms to 100-floor towers and multi-building campuses, Athena effortlessly scales to support immediate project needs, with the power to evolve in size, complexity, and use over time.
Powering the World's Top Commercial Spaces
One platform. Wireless, wired, and cloud-connected. From tunable lighting to motorized shades to property-wide analytics, Athena unifies each layer of light control into one intelligent system, designed to adapt as your facility evolves.
Scale Without Rewiring
Athena's wireless architecture lets you expand and reconfigure control locations and lighting zones without new infrastructure. Add control where you need it, rezone spaces as tenants change, and respond to evolving facility demands—all without opening a wall or ceiling.
Adapt to the Architecture
In addition to Lutron's wireless systems, Athena can integrate directly into the architecture with a full portfolio of wired solutions: automated shades for daylight management, bespoke keypads for intuitive control, and panelized controls for large-scale loads. The experience you'd expect from Lutron, unified in one system.
Insights That Drive Performance
Athena's cloud connection delivers real-time energy data, system health monitoring, and seamless integration with BMS, A/V, and building systems through Lutron's API. Make smarter decisions—and prove the ROI.
As afternoon sun hits monitors, shades lower automatically—preserving views while blocking glare. Lighting adjusts in color and intensity, supporting focus and collaboration. Offices save energy by returning to standby when empty.
Spas, restaurants, lobbies, and fitness centers all feel better in the right light. Athena unifies Lutron lighting, window treatments, and controls to create memorable guest experiences.
Create vivid gallery environments while preserving collections. Ketra’s full-spectrum light reveals artworks with museum-quality accuracy. Automated window treatments reduce UV exposure. Athena controls it all seamlessly.
Bedside controls let patients adjust shades and lighting levels, allowing them to manage their environment independently. In staff areas, lighting responds to occupancy during rounds, supporting workflow efficiency.
A lecture begins—shades lower, lights dim. When discussion starts, a button press reconfigures both. Throughout the day, automated shades and tunable lighting minimize glare while maximizing energy efficiency.

We were able to turn every overhead light into a source that could mimic the color of daylight, even as it changes throughout the day. We selected the Athena lighting control system because we could get that high level of comfort & control & save on installation while we were at it.
Intelligence Multiplied
Athena integrates with the systems and fixtures already in your building and the ones you'll add next. From BMS platforms to third-party luminaires and A/V control, Athena extends its intelligence across your entire infrastructure.
One View of the Whole Building
Connect Athena to BACnet/IP building management systems for centralized HVAC coordination, energy monitoring, and streamlined facility management. Or use Lutron's own dashboard for in-depth lighting performance data—whichever fits your workflow.
Your Fixtures, Lutron Intelligence
Extend Athena to third-party luminaires with the Athena wireless node. This coin-sized device supports fixtures from dozens of manufacturers via DALI-2 (DT6/DT8) and 0–10V.
