SUMAMO Inc. has officially launched its operations as an authorized dealer for Lutron Asuka Co., Ltd. within Japan's home automation market. This partnership is set to redefine the luxury living experience by combining advanced technology and convenience in home automation.

About Lutron: A Leading Global Brand in Lighting Control

Founded in 1961 in the USA, Lutron Electronics has established itself as a paramount leader in lighting control systems and motorized shades across the globe. The brand is renowned for its ability to provide seamless dimming and color adjustment, allowing homeowners to create the perfect ambiance and texture with light. Lutron's innovative electric shades and blinds operate silently, making them an ideal addition to luxury interiors.

These products have already been adopted in high-end residential properties and luxury hotels, showcasing their reputation for quality and integration. SUMAMO has integrated Lutron's lighting controls and motorized shades with various home automation systems, including underfloor heating, air conditioning, and audio-visual setups, demonstrating its capability and commitment to enhancing the smart home experience.

Introduction of HomeWorks

One of Lutron’s standout systems is the HomeWorks platform, specifically designed for upscale homes. This comprehensive home control system has positioned itself as a standard in the global luxury housing market. Set to launch in Japan in 2026, HomeWorks includes capabilities for controlling lighting, motorized curtains, and climate systems, along with various integrations such as apps and voice assistants, making it highly versatile.

As an emerging partner, SUMAMO focuses on aligning its home automation expertise with the HomeWorks system, facilitating a higher degree of compatibility and performance.

SUMAMO’s Integrated Control Systems

SUMAMO specializes in unifying various devices that operate on different standards and protocols under a single control suite. The company has a proven record of successfully integrating systems like Lutron, KNX, and Modbus for comprehensive control over lighting, air conditioning, underfloor heating, humidifiers, sound systems, saunas, bathing facilities, electronic locks, and intercom systems.

The keystone of this integration is SUMAMO's proprietary smart home application, which allows users to manage all devices intuitively. Key features of this app include:

• - Centralized Control: Users can monitor and control the status of various devices and settings from one interface.
• - Multi-Device Compatibility: The application is accessible on smartphones, tablets, and PCs.

The combination of Lutron's robust control technology with SUMAMO’s user-friendly interface ensures a natural and enriching experience, seamlessly integrating technology into everyday life.

Positive Industry Reception at Events

This series of three seminars provided a hands-on experience of home automation solutions and attracted over 130 participants, primarily from the design, interior, and architecture sectors, garnering considerable acclaim.
