1. Enhance Safety

A brighter home is a safer home, and smart lighting can help. Whether you want to keep an eye on your backyard at night or avoid stumbling over Junior’s toys when you get up for a midnight snack, automated lighting enhances the safety of every space.

Motion sensors are essential to outdoor lighting. When sensors detect movement in the night, your lights automatically flood the area with illumination. In fact, you can program your integrated security cameras to react to the sudden flash, so they capture all of the movement.

Inside, you can easily access your system via a tablet or smartphone featuring zone controls. So when you sneak to the kitchen after your spouse goes to sleep, you can illuminate only the areas necessary to avoid suspicion – and any toys strewn across the floor.

2. Reduce Expenses

Lighting is also one of the largest uses of energy in your home. Thankfully, smart lighting is designed to reduce energy expenditure, making it that much easier to go green and lower costs. Our monitoring software helps you save like never before.

By integrating your lighting control with a total smart home system, you can keep an eye on how much energy you’re using throughout your home. You can even integrate your system with motorized shading to engage in daylight harvesting. That’s when you use natural light from the sun to brighten your spaces rather than artificial light. As soon as there’s not enough of it, the shades lower and the light fixtures brighten.

3. Enhance Beauty

Saving energy and increasing the safety of your property are important goals, but for many, the most important aspect of lighting is how it looks. Smart lighting helps you make your spaces more beautiful with the touch of a button.

Scenes are very helpful when you’re trying to choose a lighting arrangement. Design the perfect setting for every occasion, highlighting aspects of your spaces with backlighting and overhead fixtures. You can create the perfect setting for a party, and with the touch of a button switch to an excellent movie-watching arrangement.
