Smart lighting systems for your home
Perhaps when you think about your new home, light is not one of your main concerns. However, it is very important for the environment of your home and can change its appearance. That's why, when you decide on a smart home, we make sure you also have a smart lighting system.
The importance of a smart lighting system
Sure, you may wonder what the advantages of a smart lighting system are. These are multiple and start from increased comfort to setting the ambience in each room. Smart homes integrate lighting systems that you can control from your phone, tablet or laptop. Thus, you have the power to control every corner of the house directly from the sofa or from any corner of the world. You'll also be able to set the light intensity and even the colors you want the bulbs in each room to emit.
Another advantage is that KNX-compliant smart lighting systems give you the ability to create scenarios. If you want a cinema camera, you can set a scenario to turn off the light bulbs and turn on the TV or projector. In the kitchen, you can set the lights to look a certain way when making food. Then you can set another scenario for when you dine in the family. In other words, you have control over every luminaire in the house.
A smart lighting system allows you to automatically adjust to your actions. KNX systems use presence and light sensors, connected by a bus system, that allows them to communicate with each other. This allows you to choose to reduce the intensity and even turn off when there is enough natural light. Blinds can also be controlled through the same application, helping to set the overall ambience.
Smart Lighting Applications
Controlling the light in your home can help you save up to 50% of your energy costs for a traditional system. This is possible by turning off the luminaires in the unoccupied areas, or in the rooms spoiled abundantly by the sun. You won't have to worry about the light bulb you left on when you left for work, it will automatically turn off when no movement is detected. What's more, you'll be able to see which bulbs are on in the special app.
A smart lighting system helps you keep the house look neat. Traditionally, each bulb needs its own switch to be controlled. With intelligent systems, you'll be able to integrate all devices in one room into a single control panel. Intelligent sensors will further simplify the control of light sources by automating actions that were your responsibility.
You'll be able to control every corner of the house directly from your cell phone. Let's imagine the following scenario: it's bedtime for the kids, but there are giggles in their room. Using the app dedicated to your home, you'll be able to see if the bulbs in their room are open. You'll be able to turn them off with your phone, and the kids will understand it's time to go to sleep. Another situation where a smart lighting system is advantageous is given by watching a movie. Preparing such an activity is usually tiring: you have to open the TV or projector, turn off every light bulb in the room, pull the blinds. With the smart system, a single push of a button will do all this for you.
