How Smart is your Lighting?

Are you looking for more control and more creative options with your lighting?  Smart Lighting may be for you.   The innovation in smart technology has made home maintenance a lot easier by using an app or voice assistant.  With the growing popularity in smart home products using Alexa, Google and Siri, more products are becoming smart – from door locks to temperature control to appliances to your stereo, and now lighting.  By using smart technology to illuminate your home, you can set a desired mood and reduce your electric bills.

You can set schedules to automatically adjust the brightness, change color and turn lights on and off.  This can be done from the comfort of your couch or from a thousand miles away while relaxing on the beach.  This is a great option for people who travel often, have family members who leave lights on, or anybody who enjoys getting creative with lighting.  You can set the mood with relaxation settings that dim the lights for you or a party mode when entertaining.  Once you find your ideal settings, you can set up a schedule and automate it.  When looking at starting a smart system, it is important to note that all will need to access your wi-fi system and some may require a hub device while others just need you to download an app on your phone.
