A smart home brings with it an array of incredible features, all designed to make your life easier, but perhaps the most impressive aspect of a smart home is smart lighting.
From security to aesthetics, smart lighting can transform a house, turning the mundane into the extraordinary.
Setting the mood with smart lighting
Image having the lights gradually come on as you wake up in the morning, allowing you to slowly get used to the start of a new day.
Or have your lights turn on as the sun goes down in the evening, the transition so subtle, you won’t even notice it’s dark outside!
Smart lighting takes the hassle out of illuminating your home, with either pre-set times or light monitoring sensors taking over.
Mood lighting is also a breeze, and with a touch of a button, you can lower the lights to watch a movie, setting the perfect tone in the room. They can even be set to come on if the movie is paused so you can grab some more popcorn!
Save energy
As well as controlling the lights by timers or buttons, smart homes can turn lights on and off depending if anyone is in the room.
This saves a remarkable amount of energy over time, and also saves people having to worry about turning lights on and off – it’s all done for you automatically.
Lighting automation is great for night-time, if you need to get up during the night.
Sensors can turn on some dimmed lights, allowing you to see where you’re going, but not bright enough to wake you and everyone else up. Perfect if you have a baby to settle or need a bathroom visit during the night!
Security Lighting
Lighting is an important part of home security, and with smart lighting, you never have to worry again about forgetting to switch the security lights on.
Motion sensors can shine a light on anyone who shouldn’t be there, or light up the path ahead so you don’t trip.
The lights can be programmed to active when you arrive home, illuminating the garage, garden, or porch, and once inside the house, there’s no need to fumble for the light switch – everything’s automatic.
Smart lighting can even create a “mockupancy”, which alternates lights, shades and even televisions in a random order, making it look like someone’s home, even when you’re on the other side of the world.
Speaking of which…
Remotely control your home lighting
Because your smart home lighting can be controlled through your phone or tablet, you don’t have to actually be at home to make changes.
If you’re stuck in traffic and it’s starting to get dark, a simple tap on your phone will have your lights switch on in any order you wish.
Or if you’re arriving home, imagine the lights in the driveway turning on to greet you as your phone connects to the Wifi!
Even when you’re on holiday, you don’t have to worry about timers and buttons… it’s all accessible from your phone.
All these things are possible with a smart home lighting system.
