Alisse Keypads in Austin
Hand-finished solid brass keypads on a low-voltage wired link, for HomeWorks homes with architectural walls.
Alisse is a low-voltage wired keypad
Alisse is hand-finished solid brass. For HomeWorks it connects with low-voltage QS wiring, one twisted shielded pair of 22 to 18 AWG, and takes 24 to 36V from the QS link (Lutron). Plan that wire at pre-wire. A shallow QS connector is required in 1.4 and 1.8 inch backboxes. For a keypad that needs no keypad wire, see Sunnata.

11 Alisse finishes: 7 metals and 4 matte colors
Every finish below is a Lutron product photo of an Alisse keypad with its model color code. Lutron lists Aged Brass and Aged Bronze as handcrafted, so hue and graining vary from keypad to keypad. Backlight color follows the finish: warm (2700 K) on brass, bronze, and champagne, cool (4000 K) on nickel, chrome, graphite, and the whites and black. Come to the showroom to see the real chips (book a visit).

Photos: Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. Finish codes and backlight temperatures are from the Lutron Alisse specification. Colors on screen vary. The Alisse whites and black have different names than the Palladiom matte colors, so we do not treat them as matches. Lutron also lists a Signature Metal chip kit (SM-CK-DEMO).
Brass, finishes, and engraving
Alisse is offered in signature metal finishes such as aged brass, aged bronze, brushed brass, satin nickel, bright chrome, graphite, and champagne, plus architectural matte colors. Buttons can be engraved with the scene names you use, and layouts follow the room. Lutron lists Alisse for HomeWorks.
Compare with Palladiom keypads, Sunnata, and seeTouch.
