Whole-house lighting automation enables unlimited opportunities to program and control individual lighting fixtures, groups of fixtures, and multi-room lighting scenes to match your unique needs at home. Are you ready to explore the possibilities in your Bergen County, NJ home? Then keep reading to open your mind to four amazing things you can do around the house with lighting control.

Harness the Power of Natural Light
Activate Savant’s Daylight Mode on your smartphone to unlock the benefits of personalized natural lighting control in your spaces. Daylight Mode uses your home’s precise geo-coordinates to match the color temperature and intensity of your indoor light to natural sunlight. With Daylight Mode on, your fixtures will adjust automatically as the sun shifts during the day. You can select the rooms this feature is active in at any time using your smartphone.
Snap a Pic for Instant Color
Use Savant’s TrueImage app on your smartphone for real-time color control of your lighting. Here’s how it works: snap a picture of your lighting fixture, then adjust the color and brightness directly using the photo on your phone screen. As you adjust on your phone, the fixture’s color and brightness will change in real-time. With a palette of millions of colors at your fingertips, the possibilities are endless for changing your light in the moment to match a mood or event.
Simplify Your Routines
Simplify your daily routines with preset lighting automations that activate after a triggering event. For example, program the kitchen and living room lights to turn on when the garage door opens any time after 7 p.m. on a weekday. That way, you can safely enter your house when you’re arriving home after work. Or automate the front hallway and porch lights to turn on when someone rings the doorbell. Do you have a specific lighting setting that you enjoy for watching movies and TV shows? Set the family room lights to automatically adjust when you tap the “Watch Netflix” scene on your smartphone.
Balance Your Lighting Environment
Use daylighting to reduce your usage of artificial lights (and cut down on energy bills). You can program your control system to automatically dim or brighten electric lights in response to the amount of natural light available in a room. As the sun rises throughout the morning, the lights in your common rooms can dim slowly when more sunlight illuminates the spaces. If the afternoon turns stormy, your lights can brighten in response to increasing cloudiness and less sun. Daylighting ensures that you always have a comfortable blend of natural and artificial light in your home.
