Technology, at its core, is made to make lives easier. And for busy homeowners, technologies such as automated lighting make for a smarter, more efficient home.
But just what is automated lighting? In a nutshell, it is (automated lighting) that allows you to control the lights in your home from one centralized location. As such, you can turn on, dim, or turn off lights without ever having to be in the same room as them. (Perhaps the most attractive feature is “Room Scenes” With the press of one button you can set the light level of each light in the room of the entire home.)
Apart from this convenience, however, getting automated lighting such as Control4 in Bonita Springs, Naples also offers many other benefits.
Scheduling
Want to keep your utility bills low? Then home automation may just be what you need. With this technology installed, you can schedule the time at which lights turn on and off. If you’re not in the home or are about to hit the sheets, you can schedule your lights to automatically switch off at those hours. When it comes to slashing your utility bills, every bit helps—and automated lighting can be a boon in this regard.
Motion Detectors
Automated lighting doesn’t just make your home more energy efficient, but it also makes it smarter. How so? Some systems have built-in motion detectors that automatically check if there are people in the room. (When) you step out of your bedroom, for instance, your lighting system can turn off the light to further help you save power.
Voice Control
Voice control is about as high tech as anything gets, and certain lighting systems can be integrated with mainstream voice control technologies such as Amazon’s Alexa. How cool is it to dim the lights by speaking the command instead of actually getting up to fiddle with a control?
More Than Just Lighting
You can also integrate your home entertainment system into your lighting panel. For example, you can play music or start up your TV with a simple flick of the button. In other words, when movie night comes around, you can dim the lights and queue the film all in one place.
Offering convenience, control, and energy savings, automated lighting makes your home life easier. If you’re considering getting a system such as Control4 around Naples, or Estero be sure to work only with trusted installers. With their help, your home will be a convenient and comfortable home for you and your family.
