Lighting scenes for everyday routines
Instead of adjusting several switches one by one, a lighting scene can set a group of lights for a specific activity: entertaining, watching a movie, dinner, bedtime, leaving the house or arriving home. Thoughtful scenes reduce button presses without taking away normal manual control.
Schedules, occupancy and automation
Lighting and compatible devices can respond to time, occupancy, sunrise and sunset or other events supported by the chosen platform. Good automation should be predictable and easy to override, so the system helps in the background rather than becoming another thing to manage.
Control from keypads, switches and apps
A useful system should work even when your phone is not in your hand. We can plan wall controls and keypads for everyday use while also providing app access where appropriate. Depending on the selected system, compatible voice control can be another convenient option.
Plan lighting control with the rest of the home
Lighting is often one part of a larger technology plan. Network reliability, equipment locations, low-voltage wiring, audio and other smart-home systems can all affect the final design. Coordinating them early is especially valuable during new construction or renovation.
