ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lutron Luxury Experience holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Luxor® Controller has 431 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Luxor® Controller's written reviews are positive against 0% of Lutron Luxury Experience's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Luxor® Controller ships an update monthly, Lutron Luxury Experience every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
