If your Lutron Aurora smart switch dimmer isn’t responding, it can be frustrating. Several common issues might be causing the problem, but most are fixable with some troubleshooting steps.
Common Causes of Non-Responsiveness
- Weak or lost Bluetooth or Zigbee connection
- Dead or drained batteries in the Aurora remote

Basic Troubleshooting Steps
Start with the simplest solutions first. Confirm that your Aurora is within range of your hub or smart home system. Check the batteries in the remote and replace them if needed. Ensure your smartphone app is updated to the latest version.
Reset the Aurora
Perform a reset by pressing and holding the setup button on the Aurora until the LED flashes. Then, try reconnecting it to your smart home system or app.
Check Wiring and Installation
Ensure the Aurora is correctly installed on a neutral wire circuit. Incorrect wiring can prevent proper operation. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

- Reinstall the Aurora firmware via the app
- Reset your smart home hub or bridge
- Check for interference from Wi-Fi or other wireless devices
