A Day in the Life with Whole Home Lighting Control

Lighting control is one of the most popular smart home features. People often associate it with energy savings, but the benefits go far beyond that. While lighting control can be an excellent solution for one or a few key rooms of your Freeport, FL, home, it’s even better when you integrate a whole home lighting control system into your property. 

To give you a better sense of what you can do with a lighting control system, let’s explore what a typical day is like with this smart solution.

Start Your Day

Make the beginning of your day a little more pleasant with lighting control. First, the motorized shades in your bedroom slowly lift the blackout shade to let in filtered sunlight through the semi-opaque shade. What do motorized shades have to do with lighting control? Plenty, as they can manage natural light and use automation to work hand-in-hand with your lighting. Your bedroom lights (or lamps) fade up to gently nudge you out of a deep slumber. You don’t have to turn on a too-bright light or reach for the dimmer as your eyes adjust. Every day, the same scene happens on cue. And on weekends, it will skip it or happen later based on your preference. 

Getting Ready for the Day

As you step into the kitchen for coffee and breakfast, you hit a programmed wall key labeled "good morning," and your motorized shades let the morning light come in while your ambient and task lights come up to just the right levels for what you need to do. If you have tunable lighting with dynamic color temperature, your lights can match the sunlight for an energizing effect that gets you going. 

In the bathroom, another scene plays out to light your way. Your motorized shades can be down for privacy or partly up, and your lights are set for the right level for visibility to get ready for the day – not too bright, not too soft. 

Leaving Home

When you leave to go about your day, whether it's errands or work, you don't need to worry about lights. Occupancy sensors can detect if no one is in a room and turn off lights after a few minutes. Whether you or the kids forget to turn off the lights in the kitchen or bathrooms, your lighting control is covered. And when you return home, your system can turn strategic lights on so you never return to a dark house. 

Bedtime

At bedtime, you don’t have to worry about turning lights on and off. Outdoor lighting for your landscape, driveway, and entries can all have their schedules based on sunrise and sunset or any other times you choose. With one button at your bedside, you can turn off all the lights around the house and lower your motorized shades for privacy and light blocking for a restful sleep.
