Smart lighting in Coachella tends to show up in two scenarios: builders wiring it into new tract homes as a value-add feature, and homeowners in older homes retrofitting a few smart switches or dimmers for convenience and energy savings rather than a full whole-home automation system. No Shorts Electrical installs both — scaled to what actually makes sense for your home and budget rather than upselling a system you don't need.

Lutron Caseta replaces existing wall switches with smart dimmers that work wirelessly through Lutron’s Clear Connect RF protocol — no new wiring required in most cases. Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and Lutron’s own app. The most practical starting point for Coachella homeowners who want reliable smart control without committing to a full-home system.
RadioRA is Lutron’s whole-home lighting control platform — wider coverage than Caseta, support for wall-mount and tabletop keypads, deeper integration with home automation platforms, and more sophisticated scene programming. Better suited for larger Coachella homes where a single-app setup isn’t enough and you want dedicated keypads in multiple rooms.
We program lighting scenes based on how you actually use your home — a single button or voice command that sets living room, kitchen, and outdoor lighting for dinner, a security scene that activates when you leave, or a bedtime scene that turns off everything at once. Simple to set up, and genuinely useful day-to-day.
We install and configure the electrical side — lighting circuits, dimmers, and switches — so they work with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and other smart home platforms you may already be using. If you have a thermostat, security system, or smart locks, we make sure your lighting fits into the same setup rather than being a separate app.
Lutron’s app lets you check and adjust every light in your home from your phone — useful whether you’re at work, away for a few days, or just don’t want to get up to turn off a light. Scheduling lets you automate exterior and interior lights on a timer so the house looks occupied and the lights aren’t left on by accident.

We replace standard wall switches with smart dimmers and switches compatible with Lutron Caseta, Leviton Decora Smart, and other major platforms. Most installs use your existing wiring — no rewiring required — and the new switches work with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit out of the box.
Lutron and Leviton tabletop and wall-mount keypads let you trigger pre-programmed lighting scenes from a single button — useful in main living areas, bedrooms, and entryways where you want one-touch control without pulling out your phone.
We install outdoor lighting controls with programmable dusk-to-dawn schedules, motion activation, and remote override — so your exterior lighting runs consistently whether you’re home or not, and doesn’t run all night when it doesn’t need to.
For larger Coachella homes where room-by-room Caseta switches aren’t enough, RadioRA provides full-house coverage with deeper scene programming, dedicated keypads in multiple rooms, and integration with home automation platforms.
We handle the electrical installation and configuration so your lighting works with whatever smart home ecosystem you’re already using — Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, or a smart thermostat and security system you already have in place.

No Shorts Electrical installs lighting control systems throughout the Coachella Valley, and we size every project to what actually fits the home — not a one-size-fits-all system pushed on every customer. For most Coachella homes, that means a Lutron Caseta setup or a targeted smart switch installation rather than a full estate-grade automation system. We handle City of Coachella permitting when the work requires it, and everything we install works reliably in desert heat year-round.
Licensed, insured, and based in the Coachella Valley — not a contractor dispatched from out of the area.

At No Shorts Electrical, we’re Coachella Valley’s trusted experts in lighting control system design and installation. Clients choose us for:
› Ride the Current
No — smart switches can be added room by room or circuit by circuit. Most of our Coachella lighting control jobs start small and expand later if the homeowner wants more.
In most cases, yes, for site-built homes with standard wiring. Older homes without a neutral wire at the switch box sometimes need an additional step, which we check during the estimate.
Yes. Lutron manufactures motorized shade systems that integrate natively with Caseta and RadioRA — a single scene can adjust both lighting levels and shade position at the same time. We install shade motors and configure them alongside the lighting setup as part of the same project.
Yes — we configure smart lighting to work alongside Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and most common smart home platforms. If you already have a smart thermostat, doorbell, or security camera, we make sure the lighting connects to the same ecosystem rather than adding a separate app to manage.
