Your LiteTouch System Is Failing. Here's What to Do.
LiteTouch is discontinued. Parts are scarce. Keypads are dying. But your wiring is still good — and a LOXONE upgrade gives you a modern system you actually own.
LiteTouch lighting systems were discontinued and are no longer manufactured or supported. Grizzly Tec in Houston replaces LiteTouch with LOXONE wired automation, reusing existing low-voltage wiring where possible. Clients receive full admin access with zero monthly fees.
What Happened to LiteTouch?
LiteTouch was a popular wired lighting control system installed in thousands of Houston-area homes from the 1990s through 2010s. The company was acquired and the product line was discontinued. Replacement parts — especially keypads and processor boards — are increasingly difficult to source. When a LiteTouch system fails today, there is no manufacturer support, no software updates, and a shrinking supply of compatible components.
For most homeowners, the question isn't whether to replace — it's what to replace it with. For the full technical walkthrough and step-by-step LOXONE migration, see our complete LiteTouch replacement guide.
Why LOXONE Is the Best LiteTouch Replacement
- Your existing low-voltage wiring can often be reused, significantly reducing retrofit cost
- LOXONE uses a central Miniserver (similar concept to LiteTouch processor) but with modern software, app control, and ongoing updates
- Full admin access — you own the system, unlike dealer-locked alternatives like Control4 or Savant
- No monthly subscription fees
- One app controls lighting, climate, audio, shades, security — not just lighting like LiteTouch
- Active manufacturer with 300,000+ installations worldwide and ongoing development

How Much Does It Cost to Replace LiteTouch?
Replacing a LiteTouch system with LOXONE in the Houston area typically costs $15,000–$40,000 depending on home size, number of circuits, and whether additional automation (audio, climate, shades) is included. Reusing existing wiring reduces cost compared to a ground-up installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Parts are increasingly scarce and no longer manufactured. Some refurbished keypads and processor boards can be found through specialty resellers, but availability is unpredictable and declining. Most LiteTouch owners find that the cost and uncertainty of sourcing parts makes replacement more practical than repair.
In most cases, yes. LiteTouch uses low-voltage wiring between keypads and the processor panel. LOXONE's Tree bus technology can often utilize existing cable runs, significantly reducing the cost and disruption of the upgrade. We assess your wiring during a free on-site visit.
Typically 3–5 days for a standard residential replacement, depending on home size and scope. We coordinate around your schedule and minimize disruption. Programming and commissioning are included.
No — you'll gain functionality. LiteTouch controlled lighting only. LOXONE can control lighting, climate, audio, shades, security, pool, and more from one app. You also get features LiteTouch never had: scenes, schedules, app control, and voice integration.
Both can replace LiteTouch, but LOXONE gives you full admin access and no monthly fees. Control4 requires a certified dealer for any programming changes and typically costs more. For homeowners who valued LiteTouch's simplicity and ownership model, LOXONE is the closest philosophical match.
