“Lutron’s focus on innovation and engineering marries naturally with our passion for innovation and design” said Michael Jones, founder and CEO of Hartmann&Forbes. “We are excited to offer our clients another world-class automation solution."

 

The partnership with Lutron, a leading manufacturer of lighting controls and systems for nearly 50 years, signals an expansion of Hartmann&Forbes’ Automation Project Management service. Designed to help bridge the communication gap between designers and integrators, the program offers assistance to designers who wish to automate and integrate window coverings. The program’s Automation Project Managers (APM’s) now provide solutions from Somfy Systems and Lutron and can help integrate motors into even the most advanced home automation and lighting control systems.

"Many designers are intimidated by the complexity of automation,” says Jeff Sinclair, Director of Automation for Hartmann&Forbes. “Our APM’s can help develop custom automation solutions for any project, allowing designers to focus on design.”
