LiteTouch Replacement

LiteTouch is end of life. If your lighting control is still running, it’s not a question of if it will fail, it’s when.

Liquid Automation delivers a clean, proven upgrade path to modern Lutron lighting control with minimal disruption and long term support.

Common Signs Your LiteTouch System Is Failing

  • Random lights not responding

  • Flickering, buzzing, or inconsistent dimming

  • Scenes that stop working or behave unpredictably

  • Keypads that intermittently fail

  • Parts are unavailable or repairs are temporary

  • Integrators can’t support the system anymore

If any of this sounds familiar, it’s time for an upgrade plan.

Why LiteTouch Replacement Matters

LiteTouch systems were premium in their day, but many are now obsolete, unsupported, and increasingly unreliable. As components age, failures become more frequent and harder to repair, often resulting in lighting outages, stuck scenes, or rooms that won’t respond.

When a LiteTouch system fails, it can impact far more than convenience. It affects safety, usability, and the overall experience of the home or vessel and sourcing parts or technicians becomes a race against time.

If you’re still on LiteTouch, the smartest time to upgrade is before failure forces your hand.

Our Solution

A Proven Lutron Retrofit Upgrade

Liquid Automation provides a future proof retrofit pathway by replacing LiteTouch with a modern Lutron lighting control system. The outcome is a stable platform that delivers:

  • Reliable lighting control and scene recall

  • Modern interfaces (keypads, touch panels, app control)

  • Better integration with AV, shading, HVAC, and security

  • Scalable expansion for future upgrades

  • Long term manufacturer support and serviceability

Whether the project is a high-end residence or a yacht refit, our approach is built around a clean transition with minimal disruption.

What We Replace and What You Keep

A LiteTouch upgrade doesn’t have to mean ripping a project apart. Our team assesses what can be retained and what needs modernisation so the upgrade is efficient, tidy, and engineered properly.

Depending on your site and wiring topology, we can often:

  • Reuse existing cabling where appropriate

  • Replace legacy processors and unreliable control hardware

  • Upgrade to modern dimming and switching modules

  • Refresh user interfaces with premium Lutron keypads and scenes

  • Recommission the system for stability and consistency

Every project starts with a proper site review and technical audit so there are no surprises.

The Liquid Automation Retrofit Process

1) Audit and System Health Check

We review your existing LiteTouch system, lighting loads, circuits, control locations, and any integration points.

2) Design and Engineering

We produce a retrofit plan that maps every circuit, keypad, and scene to the new Lutron platform — with clear scope and outcomes.

3) Clean Installation

We install and replace hardware in a controlled, staged approach to minimise downtime and disruption.

4) Programming and Commissioning

This is where the system becomes bulletproof. We build scenes, logic, and user flows that feel intuitive and consistent.

5) Documentation and Ongoing Support

You receive proper documentation and access to ongoing service options so the system stays reliable long after handover.

FAQ

Is LiteTouch officially end of life?

Many LiteTouch systems are now considered end of life in practice due to discontinued parts and limited support availability. If yours is still operating, proactive replacement is usually the most cost-effective path.

Do we have to rewire the house or yacht?

Not always. Each site is different, but our retrofit approach is designed to reuse what makes sense and replace what is required for a stable, supportable system.

How long does a LiteTouch replacement take?

That depends on the number of circuits, keypads, and access constraints. We typically stage the work to keep the environment usable throughout.

Can you match my existing scenes and keypad layout?

Yes. We can replicate existing scenes and then improve them, making the system feel familiar but more refined and reliable.

Can Lutron integrate with Crestron or other control systems?

Yes. Lutron is widely integrated across premium platforms, and we design the system to suit your broader technology ecosystem.
