If you’re thinking about upgrading your home’s lighting system, make sure to put smart switches at the top of your list. Because there’s nothing better than unwinding at the end of the night and turning all your lights off from the comfort of your bed, with just one tap on your smartphone.
With smart light switches you have ultimate control of your home, turning your lights on and off in any room, from wherever you may be. And with this comes the opportunity to save money, conserve energy and enhance home security – all whilst having the ultimate comfort and convenience. But with so much to take in about smart lighting switches, where do you even begin? Whatever questions you may have, this guide has all the answers for you.
Smart lighting means you can control lights in an easier, simpler and more innovative way. You can enjoy all that automation brings to the table, for instance creating personalised schedules, all whilst managing your lighting system from your smart device. And the benefits don’t stop there – some can even respond to your voice or be synchronised to work with other smart home devices.
With smart lighting, you can also benefit from a range of unique arrangements. So, whether you want a small upgrade with standard bulbs or a full makeover with outdoor floodlights – the world is your oyster. To add a touch of personalisation, most smart lights can also shine in almost every colour. And above all else, due to them being LED, they demand far less electricity than traditional light bulbs – an investment you don’t want to miss!
Smart lighting switches offer a hassle-free lighting solution without having to make major changes to your lighting arrangement. They are essentially Wi-Fi enabled buttons on/in your wall that allow you to tailor how you control your home’s lighting. Plus, they tend to be a lot less heavy on the pocket – music to any homeowner’s ears. And best of all – they can be wirelessly connected and work with pretty much any light fixture. Smart light switches have many advantages including:
These handy devices replace your existing switches but can still work alongside your current light bulbs. As they are Wi-Fi enabled, this will allow you to control the existing wiring in your home via an app on your smartphone or by voice through a virtual assistant.
Some smart light switches connect directly to your home’s Wi-Fi network, whilst others may need a smart home hub to then connect to your Wi-Fi in order to give you control. And because smart light switches can connect to Wi-Fi, this means you can remotely manage them from wherever. So, if you’re at work and you suddenly remember that you forgot to turn the lights off – don’t worry because your smart light switches have got your back!
Smart light switches can be controlled in a variety of ways to make life at home more comfortable and convenient. Thanks to automation, you can turn lights on and off, adjust the brightness and create scenarios of your preferred colour and brightness combinations.
