Lutron Joins Zigbee Alliance Board of Directors

Lighting and Shading Control Leader Supports Continued Exploration and Development of IoT Standards for Residential and Commercial Products

DAVIS, California – September 17, 2019 – The Zigbee Alliance, an organization of hundreds of companies creating, maintaining, and delivering open, global standards for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that Lutron Electronics – a prominent global leader in lighting controls and automated shading solutions – has joined its Board of Directors. Lutron’s participation at the board level demonstrates its commitment to working alongside other highly regarded IoT leaders to together bring practical, intuitive wireless experiences to users in residential and commercial settings.

Igniting Smart Designs and Collaboration

What began as a two-product company, Lutron has grown into an internationally successful smart lighting and shading control provider that offers more than 15,000 products for residential and commercial spaces. From single-light dimmers to robust lighting and shading control solutions and high-performance lighting fixtures, the company sells products in more than 100 countries – and in the U.S. alone, Lutron products save an estimated 100 billion kWh of electricity, or approximately $1 billion in utility costs per year.

Paramount to Lutron’s investment in and dedication to this industry-driven standards group is the commonality between the Zigbee Alliance vision and values and Lutron’s founding principles of benefiting its customers and improving the way the world lives, works, and plays. “We look forward to working with the Zigbee Alliance board to help shape the future of the IoT and deliver even more value to our customers,” Hakkarainen said.
