Smart lighting automation has transformed the way we illuminate our homes. No longer is the choice on or off, but instead, what brightness level? What color? 

If you’re new to smart lighting automation, here’s a preview of what to expect and all the possibilities for your Houston, TX, home.

1. Set the Mood with Scene Lighting

Create personalized lighting scenes to match any occasion or mood, whether it's a cozy movie night or a party. 

2. Enhance Security 

Lighting automation can simulate occupancy while you're away. You can also integrate smart lights with security devices so lights flash when alarms are triggered. 

3. Integrate with Voice Assistants

Pair your lighting system with popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Say, "Hey, Google, turn on the living room lights," and the room will brighten instantly. 

4. Optimize Energy Efficiency

Reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills by automating lighting schedules so lights are only on when needed. 

5. Control from Anywhere

Forgot to turn off the lights? Whether you're at home or miles away, you can conveniently adjust lighting settings with the mobile app. 

6. Live Well with Circadian Lighting

Automated color temperature adjustments mimic natural daylight, helping you wake up refreshed in the morning and wind down comfortably in the evening.

7. Sync Lighting with Entertainment  

You may not want a pitch-black movie room, but you also don’t want glare on the TV or projector screen. Create a custom “Movie” setting that provides the perfect lighting. 

8. Automate with Geofencing

Automatically control lights based on your location with geofencing. As you approach your home, the system detects your proximity and turns on the lights.

9. Personalize Lighting for Different Family Members

Each family member can have their own personalized settings, from brightness levels to color choices, ready with a tap of a button. 

10. Accentuate Artwork & Interior Design  

Use color-tunable lights to make certain colors ‘pop’ and draw attention to unique finishes in your home.
