Do you already have a lot of smart features in your home? Maybe you’ve already hooked up a smart thermostat or an Echo or Google Home device. Maybe you have a security system that connects to your smartphone or tablet. No matter what tech-savvy devices you are currently utilizing, there are always more opportunities to turn your home into a true “smart home” with a smart lighting control system.
If you don’t currently have smart lighting in any part of your house you may be wondering just why it’s such a great thing. The truth is, smart home technology of all types is not just the wave of the future…it’s the wave of today – and once you have a chance to try it out in your own home you’re never going back! Of course there are some concrete reasons why you’d want to design your home with smart home technology in mind, so let’s take a closer look:
Feel Safe and Secure
Pretty much anything to do with smart home technology is going to make you safer in your own home. Smart home technology is able to keep track of everything that’s happening at your home, from when a package is delivered at your front door or when your children get home after school – with home lighting it’s no different. From the simple touch of your garage door remote, smartphone, tablet device or wall keypad, you are able to control the the lights in your home from absolutely anywhere.
So, why is it a safety feature to be able to turn your lights on and off whenever you want? Because you don’t have to worry about walking into a dark and empty home anymore. You can turn your lights on when you’re going to be coming home at night so the entire place is lit up and ready for you. Not only that, when you’re going to be away for extended periods of time you can turn lights on a set timer throughout the day or night to make it look like someone is still in the house. Your smart home technology devices can even be linked with your home security camera so you are able to have eyes on your home 24/7.
Setting the Mood
Setting the mood isn’t just about a romantic evening – it can also be about having some fun and just enjoying yourself in your own home. With smart lighting control systems you can control the level of lighting (bright or dim or somewhere in between) and you can even control home elements such as the color and the softness in a room. Whether you want blue lights that are bright or soft dim red lights for the current setting, it’s all feasible with smart home technology.
With this type of automation system you can even control different areas of the house in different ways too. That means you can set the lighting for the kids to watch their favorite cartoons in the living room and for your partner to study in the den and even for you to entertain your friends in the dining room. Even better, you can change things individually as you go or you can set up presets, like ‘bedtime’ or ‘study time’ or ‘romance’ so you can just press a button and the lights automatically set to what you want.
Helping the Environment
You probably didn’t think that getting a lighting control system was going to help the environment, did you? Actually, it can be great for the environment. That’s because these lights can be controlled from your phone rather than just from the light switches around your house. If you tend to forget to flip those switches off (or if someone in your house does) you can do it even when you’re not home.
Our smart lighting control systems also have timers so you can set the lights to turn themselves off after a set amount of time. That’s going to save you money on electricity and it’s going to help you cut down on your environmental impact at the same time. That’s definitely going to be a win-win situation, right?
No matter what your reason for getting a smart lighting control system there are a lot of great things they can do for you. It’s all about making your home work a lot better for you and making sure you and your family can be as comfortable as possible. These lighting features will make your home more efficient, more safe and a whole lot more fun.
