Extract text from project databases (LUTX)
To convert LUTX databases to another format, you need RadioRA 2 Essentials or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Home Automation Database" file type, you need software like RadioRA 2 Essentials or a similar tool.
The .lutx file extension is a proprietary database format used by RadioRA 2 Essentials, a software application developed by Lutron Electronics. It contains system programming, lighting zones, device configurations, keypad button mapping, and scene settings for residential smart home lighting control networks.
Because .lutx files are strictly proprietary, they are designed exclusively to be opened by the Lutron RadioRA 2 programming software. This creates a significant disadvantage: you cannot view or edit these files without installing Lutron's specialized, often restricted, tools. The files are not supported by standard web browsers, general-purpose database readers, or third-party smart home platforms. Furthermore, sharing project details with clients or contractors who do not have the software is impossible without extracting the data first.
Users typically need to convert the data inside a .lutx file into more accessible formats like PDF for client reports or CSV to manage hardware inventories and bill of materials. However, because this is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters fail to process it. Translating Lutron's proprietary logic into another standard requires the original software.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because only the original Lutron software can properly read or export the encrypted device data. While we cannot magically translate Lutron's logic into another system, our analysis can inspect the file and show raw text or internal content. If our tool detects a supported underlying or embedded format, partial viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LUTX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert LUTX file to XLS, XLSX, XLSM, XLSB, ODS, CSV, TSV, TAB, DIF, SLK, WK1 or WK3, you can use RadioRA 2 Essentials or similar software from the "Smart Home Configuration Database" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert WQ1, XLSM, NOTES, QPW, WK3, WB2, WKS, XLSB, 123, XLS, WB1 or XLSX files to LUTX, try RadioRA 2 Essentials or another comparable tool in the "Smart Home Configuration Database" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LUTX converter.
