Scheduled Scenes and Settings

A smart lighting control system gives you an abundance of options to choose from for everyday functionality. With its many automation and control capabilities, you can program specific schedules and scenes to accommodate your day.

With “good morning” and “good night” scenes, you can have your lighting turn on and off and alternate depending on the time of day. Schedule your interior lights to turn off during the sunniest times of the day, while your landscape lighting can slowly turn on once the sun begins to set.

Installed photosensors help your fixtures determine when the sun is more bright or intense, as well as when it’s hidden behind clouds. These scenes and sensors ensure that lights won’t stay on when they are not in use – keeping you from wasting energy on a daily basis. 

Motion Sensors

Want to further eliminate the number of extra lighting fixtures left on on during the day or at night? Motion sensors installed throughout your property can sense when the last person has left a designated area and then alert the lights in the space to shut off after a fixed amount of time.

This keeps the lights on when needed and turns them off almost immediately once they are no longer in use. You’ll see less energy used and lower electricity bills each month.

LED Lighting 

Unlike standard bulbs, LED lighting lasts longer and uses considerably less energy. Use dimming features to lower the LED fixtures’ energy usage even more and give your home a nice candlelight glow in the evening or before bed. LED lighting costs you less and offers long-term savings, keeping your home greener day in and day out. 

Motorized Shades

Have you considered adding automated shading to your overall lighting control system? This solution can help prevent solar heat gain and lets you utilize natural sunlight when you don’t want your lighting fixtures to use energy.

You can even insulate your New York home with motorized shades. Smart shades create an “air gap” between the shading fabric and the window once installed. This traps warm or cool air indoors when it would usually escape through the glass. You can regulate the house’s internal temperature, too, and even integrate a smart thermostat to respond to temperature sensors placed in the room and on windows.

This setup keeps the temperature on track even with a one degree drop. Your shades can lower or lift depending on the need, and your HVAC system won’t work overtime to achieve that comfortable, homey atmosphere.
