Smart Lighting Control

Lighting is one of the most-used utilities in your home, making it a fantastic system to start getting comfortable with automation. With automated lighting control, you no longer have to move from room to room flipping switches to operate your lights. Instead, you can use a smartphone app, touchscreen tablet, or voice control to turn on/off any light in your home. Dimmable bulbs allow you to adjust the brightness levels of your fixtures to comfortable levels for different activities.

For even more convenient control, schedule your lights and build custom scenes that are activated with one button press on your smartphone. Schedule all home lights to turn off 20 minutes after leaving for work. Then schedule the morning and the front hall and living room lights to turn on 20 minutes before arriving home in the evening. Build custom scenes using multiple fixtures and different brightness levels for events like a dinner party, movie night, or reading before bed.

Smart Home Security

With a family and pets to protect, home security is probably a priority for you. Installing smart devices with real-time monitoring, notifications, and surveillance can give you peace of mind 24/7. Your home security system can be as simple or complex as you need it to be. Perhaps you’d like to start with a smart video doorbell that alerts you when someone is at the door. You can see and chat with the person on the other side using built-in cameras, microphones, and speakers.

A few smart security cameras are an excellent solution to keep an eye on your exteriors and interiors. Motion-sensing cameras will send a notification to your smartphone when movement is detected, and you can watch real-time footage from your smartphone app or tablet wherever you are. Ditch physical keys for smart, electronic locks and unique key codes to document who’s entering and leaving your home. While you’re at work, use your smartphone app to track when the dogwalker arrived and left and when the kids got home from school.

Smart Thermostat

The temperature is a critical component for creating a comfortable indoor environment. Spend less time during the day adjusting your thermostat as the weather changes. Your smart thermostat can automatically optimize indoor temperature and humidity levels based on the outdoor climate. Or, if you need to make a manual change, use your smartphone app, tablet, or a voice command instead of fiddling with the thermostat. Many smart thermostats also use sensor technology to switch to energy-saving mode when the house is empty.

Indoor temperature is probably also a point of contention between members of your household who have different ideas of “comfort.” Satisfy everyone in the family with a smart thermostat. A multi-zone thermostat allows you to divide your home into multiple zones and set the temperature individually in each one. Now you can reduce heating and cooling in less occupied areas while ensuring everyone in your household remains comfortable no matter where they are.
