Tri Star Automation A Lutron-Focused Integration Firm
Tri Star Automation works within hospitality projects from early system design through final commissioning, focusing exclusively on Lutron control and shading systems. We design, program, and implement systems that function reliably within the broader project context.
We are engaged alongside design teams during system development, and later work with contractors and operators to bring the system through completion, maintaining consistency between design intent and performance at turnover.
Tri Star Automation Built on Deep Lutron Hospitality Expertise
Tri Star Automation was founded by Joe Borress, a specialist in Lutron hospitality systems with a track record of delivering complex projects from design through turnover.
The firm was built around a simple idea: lighting control and shading systems should be thoughtfully designed, properly integrated, and fully realized in the field—not treated as an afterthought.
We work closely with developers, architects, and design teams to bring Lutron systems into projects at the right stage, ensuring that what is envisioned on paper performs exactly as intended in the field.
Today, Tri Star Automation delivers hospitality projects throughout California and across the U.S., with a focus on precision, coordination, and systems that perform reliably at scale.
What Sets Tri Star Automation Apart
Tri Star Automation is brought into projects early—when system decisions are still being defined, not after they have already been set.
We work directly with developers, architects, and design teams, ensuring lighting control and shading systems are properly designed, coordinated, and aligned with the overall project vision.
Our role continues through programming, commissioning, and final turnover, ensuring that systems perform reliably in real-world operation—not just on paper.
We focus exclusively on Lutron hospitality systems, including lighting control, motorized shading, and temperature integration. This specialization allows us to deliver systems that are consistent, scalable, and easier to operate across entire properties.
The result is a smoother delivery process, fewer coordination issues, and systems that perform exactly as intended from day one.
If you are planning a hospitality project and want systems that are fully considered from the beginning, we should connect early on.
