Smart Lighting Ideas
- One touch of a button that turns all lighting for a given room on/off; not just one light.
- Double-tap the same button to turn everything (lighting, electronics, devices, etc.) in the room off.
- When then garage door opens after dark, the lights automatically turn on, leading up to your door.
- Motion sensors in key areas can signal the automation system to switch off lights when a room has been vacant for a period of time.
- Landscape lighting can turn on automatically at sunset and off again at sunrise.
- With the touch of an “All Off” button, all of the lights in your entire home turn off.
- Turn off lights automatically each morning when kids leave for school.
Imagine waking up in the morning, not to the glaring blare of an alarm clock, but to your favorite song streaming through speakers in the ceiling, as your blinds slowly open to reveal the morning sun. Touch one button by your bed and the lights in the hallway turn on so you can safely navigate to the kitchen where the TV is already tuned into your favorite morning news program.
As you race out the door for work, smile as everything powers down—the lights, the TVs, the audio—even the thermostat dials back to a more energy-efficient setting. The alarm arms, the garage door closes and every door in the house gets locked. Automatically.
It might sound like the ultimate in luxury, but really, having a home automation system today is a very affordable reality. Plus, not only does it make life a little easier, it can also help you save time and money.
How’s this possible? Imagine a sophisticated, but ridiculously easy-to-use universal remote that controls all of your home’s otherwise disconnected electronic systems and devices. With this one mighty remote, you can control everything from entertainment systems to heating and air conditioning, lights, shades, garage doors, security systems, exterior door locks, and so on.
Better still, this one remote comes in many different forms: the traditional wand that you’re used to wielding in the family room but also, with Control4®, you can control everything in the house from virtually every screen in the house—your iPhone, a tablet, a touch screen, even your laptop. And once you've got your house “under control,” there’s no going back. But before you take the plunge, here are a few need-to-knows that will come in handy as you journey to the “other side.”
