In today’s digitally driven world it seems as if smart lighting has taken over homes everywhere. Just take a look at your home. Do you have LED light bulbs installed in all of your favorite lamps? Does your home use Nest or another Bluetooth technology to automatically adjust the lighting when you aren’t home? Installing automated lighting within homes is not a new concept, however, creating automated outdoor lighting solutions is something that many homeowners have yet to explore.
The Benefits Of Automated Landscape Lighting
Beautifully crafted landscaping should be enjoyed during the day and night. To do this, you will can install smart lighting solutions that use automated features to turn on your spot lights, flood lights, or path lights at the opportune moment.
Moving to an automated outdoor lighting solution is made easier when you use these following ideas.
1. Change The Light Switches. — If your outdoor lights are controlled by interior light switches, then you will need to change them to an alternative that is compatible with a smart home hub. Once you’ve completed this step, simply program the smart home hub and begin controlling your outdoor lighting.
2. Use A Timer. — Outdoor lights can easily be programmed with a mechanical timer. You can even decide how often you want the lights to turn on. Whether you want the added ambiance of an early evening light, or the functionality of an automated late night flood light, a timer will help you to creatively use your landscaping lighting to its full advantage.
3. Explore Bluetooth Technologies. — Bluetooth technologies can be used to automatically turn on your landscape lights. It is important to note that Bluetooth technologies tend to operate on a lower frequency, which means that many of these new automated lighting technologies will require you to be within close proximity to your home. With this in mind, these emerging technologies will continue to improve as companies seek new, creative ways to help you enhance your landscape lighting solutions.
