Best Ways to Automate Home Lighting
Automating your home lighting is fully dependent on your daily schedule and lifestyle, so you can customize it to precisely suit your needs. A few of our favorite ways to automate the lights in your home include:
- Set outdoor lighting to turn on at sunset and turn off at sunrise.
- Set interior lights to turn on in the morning as you wake up.
- Set all lights to go off once you leave for work and entrance lighting to turn back on upon your return home.
- Dim lights as bedtime approaches and turn them off altogether when it's bedtime.
