What's New in Lutron RadioRA 2 + HWQS App

26.0.0

May 27, 2026

Fixed an issue with Sonos and upgraded to support iOS 26

User reviews

Last update killed the app

It really did work just fine until the last update. Now I can’t connect at all. It’s awful. Stay away from it.

Meh

The fact that I can’t create a simple program .. say the moody lighting for a party at the click of a button is ridiculous for 2025. Given how expensive this was and how basic that function is … app is just meh. It’s like a light switch in your hand. Nothing more.

Awful experience

App is so unintuitive, options missing that their own documentation says should be there. Clearly zero investment in quality developers. So disappointing!

App is full of bugs, barely maintained

This app has not really improved or changed in the years since I have had the misfortune of having to use it.

But the bugs keep piling on, what were mild annoyances are getting worse. Is not just that the bugs are annoying, they prevent you from using the app at all (like schedules, you get a tiny two-line to operate).

Clearly this is a vastly underfunded effort - I would be surprised if more than one engineer was left working on this. It is that abysmal.

Atrocious

Lutron should be ashamed for dropping support for RadioRA2 customers not allowing them to purchase parts of anything!!
