Published 2/13/2026
Modernizing an existing home in Orange County doesn’t mean you have to compromise on design or technology.

At Oasis Smart Homes, we specialize in upgrading existing homes with Lutron HomeWorks systems, delivering the same seamless control, elevated aesthetics, and personalized comfort that new construction homeowners enjoy — without major disruption.
Why Retrofit with Lutron HomeWorks?
Lutron HomeWorks is the premier lighting and shade control system trusted in high-end homes across Southern California. Its ability to scale, integrate, and adapt makes it ideal for retrofit projects, offering:
- Wireless and hybrid control options for easier installation
- Designer-grade keypads and hidden motorized shades
- Integration with AV, security, and voice control platforms
- Customized lighting and shade scenes tailored to your lifestyle
Retrofits are all about enhancing what’s already great — and Lutron does it beautifully.
Wireless Lighting Control Without Rewiring
For homes where running new wires would damage finishes, Lutron’s wireless dimmers and keypads provide elegant control without invasive construction. The HomeWorks system supports hybrid installations — wired where possible, wireless where needed.
Wireless retrofit benefits:
- Maintain architectural integrity — no need to tear into walls
- Install stylish Palladiom or Alisse keypads with minimal wiring
- Expand room-by-room or zone-by-zone over time
- Program customized scenes for lighting and shades from your smartphone
It’s smart technology that respects your home’s existing design.
Upgrade Your Window Treatments with Motorized Shades
Whether you're replacing outdated manual blinds or looking to reduce solar heat in sun-drenched rooms, Lutron motorized shades are a game-changer for retrofit projects. They offer silent operation, designer fabrics, and total control — all with discreet integration.
Retrofit shading solutions:
- Add battery-powered or low-voltage shades without major rewiring
- Choose from roller, Roman, honeycomb, and drapery styles
- Match existing décor with Lutron’s curated fabric library
- Automate shades by time of day, temperature, or scene selection
We help you measure, select, and install with precision — no construction mess required.
Lighting Scenes that Support Your Lifestyle
With HomeWorks, you can control lighting throughout your entire home using scene-based automation. This elevates everyday moments, improves energy efficiency, and creates the perfect mood for every activity.
Examples of scenes we program for retrofit clients:
- Morning: Gradual light fade-in with sheer shades rising
- Evening Wind Down: Warm, dimmed lighting for relaxation
- Entertain: Lighting and shades adjust for the perfect party ambiance
- All Off: Every light and shade powered down with one tap
Scenes are fully personalized — and easily adjusted over time as your routines evolve.
Integrate with AV, Security, and Voice Control
Retrofitting your home with Lutron HomeWorks also opens the door to full smart home integration. Oasis can connect your system to popular platforms like Savant, Control4, and Josh.ai, creating a unified experience for lighting, audio, climate, and more.
Enhance your retrofit with:
- Voice commands like “Josh, set Movie Night”
- Lighting that responds to music, TV, or occupancy sensors
- Climate presets for comfort across seasons
- Security and exterior lighting scenes tied to alarm events or gate access
Our team ensures all systems communicate smoothly — with training so you feel confident using them.
