✅ What are the advantages of smart lighting?

Convenience and ease of remote use, smart scheduling, voice integration, smart sensors that will trigger lighting when movement is detected, or alternatively switch off lights after a period where no movement is detected. These are just a few advantages of smart lighting.

✅ How do I issue a voice command for my sprinklers?

Depending on the voice assistant in use the commands vary. Hey Siri, switch off the main room lights is the command for Apple, whereas Alexa, switch on the entrance lights is the command for Amazons voice assistant.

✅ Can I dim lights with Homekit?

Light circuits or bulbs can be dimmed from Homekit provided they have dimmable transformers or the bulbs themselves are dimmable. Homekit cannot dim a light that is not designed to dim.

✅ Is smart lighting worth it?

Smart lighting gives you access to your lighting wherever and whenever you need from your phone. It also allows the creation of scenes and automations involving lighting when combined with other accessories. For example, when the doorbell senses movement at night automatically turn on the entrance lights for a three minutes.

House-mate Smart Home Automation

Smart lighting solutions can be installed into existing homes or new homes. Control lights using HomeKit™ or by using voice assistants like Siri™, Google Home, or Alexa.

In-wall wifi light switches are available that control all lights on a circuit. Set your lights to any desired brightness level with ease at the touch of a button or by voice. Alternatively purchase individual smart light bulbs or strip lights. Nanoleaf smart light panels are very popular.

Control lights using an automated scene. When the bathroom lights are activated between 11pm & 6am only illuminate to 20%, or when the garage door is opened at night turn on the entrance and hallway lights automatically for 10 minutes.
