In a proper smart home, you shouldn't be able to tell at first glance that anything is different from a regular home. Devices are hidden, sensors are tiny, and control is automatic. However, Smart Lighting is exactly what will not only enchant your visitors but also simplify your life. By properly setting up automatic lighting, you will practically never have to use light switches again. Thanks to sensors, your Smart Home will detect where you are, check if there is enough light, and if not, turn it on.
For lighting to be truly Smart, it must be able to:
- turn on the light based on movement when necessary
- turn on the light at the right intensity at different times of the day
- combine multiple lights into a single mode
- automatically control lighting in the garden and around the house after dark
- link lighting with other parts of the house such as the video intercom, security, or current weather
- provide the ability to control lights remotely
- add the ability to control any light via a wireless switch
Can you imagine that after turning on your TV, the lighting in the living room automatically adjusts, colored backlighting turns on, and the main light dims to 10%?
Why Smart Lighting with us?
We can easily integrate lighting control even into your already built house. Without the need to pull any cables – and the entire lighting system will even work with your original switches. In our smart home system, it is possible to control these types of fixtures:
- Classic bulbs
- 230V LED bulbs and LED strips
- 12V / 24V colored and white LED strips
- 0-10V dimmable fixtures
- Smart LED bulbs
- Philips HUE and IKEA bulbs
How does Smart Lighting work?
Smart lighting is based on three fundamental features. The first is the ability to control lights via mobile phone. This is possible from anywhere and at any time, you just need a smartphone with an internet connection. The second feature is automatic lighting control based on movement, sunrise and sunset, current light intensity in the room, and many others. And the last feature is voice control of lighting using voice assistants like Alexa, Google Home, or Siri.
Smart Lighting Installation
Our smart lighting system has one huge advantage. It can be installed in already built houses without any structural modifications. This particular feature gives owners of existing homes a unique opportunity to get Smart Lighting. Moreover, the sensors we use are easy to install and battery-powered, so we really don't need to pull any wiring.
The installation of Smart Lighting really doesn't take long, and in just a few hours you can have a system controlled via your mobile phone. Truly simple.
Sensors that monitor your home
Smart lighting control works using sensors. But not just any sensors – the ones we use are the best and smallest sensors used in Smart Home systems today. Furthermore, with a single sensor we can track movement, measure temperature, light intensity, humidity, and UV. Lighting doesn't have to be linked only to motion sensors, but also to door sensors or, for example, water leak sensors. In the event of a water leak, blue lights can flash throughout the entire house.
Because our system works under the Z-Wave protocol, it is possible to choose the design and functionality of any sensor, and there is no need to adapt to a single manufacturer's design. If you can't find the right one, we can use sensors that are practically invisible, such as door sensors built directly into the frame.
Integration with other Smart Home components
Smart lighting is just one part of the entire Smart home. By connecting it with other parts of smart homes, however, you achieve an even higher level of automation. For example, by connecting it to the blinds, you can have the lights turn on when you close the blinds, or adjust the lighting color to the temperature set on the thermostat. If heating to 24 degrees, the backlighting will be red. If to 20 degrees, it will be blue. It all depends solely on what you want.
