I’m getting ready to sell and my place is fully fitted with Lutron smart switches (Caséta / RA2 / RA3) and automations via Home Assistant. Curious how others handled this at sale:
- Convey or remove?
- Did you treat the smart switches (fixtures) as part of the home and include them in the contract?
- If you kept the Lutron gear, did you swap back to standard Decora switches before listing?
- What stayed vs. what left:
- Stayed: in-wall Lutron switches/dimmers, wall plates, Pico remotes (if used), and the Smart Bridge / Main Repeater / RA Processor?
- Left with you: the Home Assistant host (RPi/mini-PC), Zigbee/Z-Wave radios, other hubs?
- Handoff steps you took:
- Factory-reset the Lutron bridge/processor and leave it unpaired for the buyer to add to their own account?
- Wipe/transfer the Home Assistant instance, or remove it entirely to avoid privacy/support headaches?
- Provide a simple as-built doc (what’s installed where, scenes, breaker panel notes) so the buyer isn’t lost on day one.
- Resale impact:
- Did “smart home lighting (Lutron) + ready for automations” help marketability or days-on-market?
- Any actual price premium, or mostly a nice-to-have?
- Gotchas / lessons learned:
- Inspection surprises after swapping switches, neutral-wire issues, dimmer/LED compatibility.
- Account ownership pitfalls (Lutron app), buyer support expectations, disclosure wording.
Would love real-world experiences from sellers, buyers, agents, and installers who’ve done a HA + Lutron handoff.
