Home Security
Installing a smart home lighting system is a great way to deter burglars from breaking and entering. It’s very easy to program lighting schedules that simulate your presence even if you’re on the other side of the country.
Smart lighting offers many possibilities for programming connected lamps to turn on and off in different ways:
- As soon as a specific pre-programmed time is reached;
- According to the sunrise and sunset;
- In a totally random way.
It’s also possible to integrate motion sensors and, for example, to turn your outdoor light into a smart outdoor lighting system.
A Single Remote Control Application
To control your smart home lighting as well as most connected devices such as an automated temperature system, which controls the smart thermostat connected to your heating system, it’s possible to use just a single application installed on your smartphone.
That way, you can manage the entire home automation system in your house very easily from your fingertips. Did you forget to turn off the light at the back of the yard and you’re already in bed? No problem! With your app and your smart lighting system, you don’t even have to get up!
Personalized Atmosphere
