Let me preface this by saying I have done Lutron for 23+ years. I started with the Original HomeWorks DOS based GUI. I am certified in all the Lutron Residential systems, Control 4, Crestron, and Vantage.
I just did my first big (150 devices) RA3 design. I am absolutely NOT IMPRESSED with the software. I am actually shocked that Lutron would publish this as anything other than beta software. Especially since it appears the took the fairly decent HQS software and modified it for RA3.
It lacks basic Windows functions like overwriting text when you move into a field. I have to highlight "Zone 01" and delete or type over it.
I can't assign RDs to a hybrid zone.
If I add an RD and don't assign the load right away, the option disappears.
It has an option to assign a load to a MA-T51 but there is no way to do that.
There is no load schedule. Why would you delete the load schedule??
I have to change every device to forward phase. Where is the default option?
The window to assign loads to a different room only displays 3 lines.
I can't add loads and assign them to devices. I have to add a device then reassign the load to another room using that tiny window.
That is just the stuff I can remember.
This is going in a beach house about 3 hours from me. I am having second thoughts about this whole project. I'm not confident Lutron can make this work.
