Let Your Smart Home Control Your Lighting

Have you ever walked into your home after a long day, and the lighting almost takes your breath away? The fading sunlight shines softly into the living room, casting a golden glow. The under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen creates a relaxing mood with lights the color of soft candlelight, and your home’s fine artwork and best architectural features illuminate as if lit from within. The reading nook in the corner shines with an iridescent amber light that makes you want to cuddle up in the overstuffed chair.

Lighting is one of the most important elements in our home’s interior design, yet it’s rarely used to its full extent. Instead, we rush in and flip the light switch by the door and tap the dimmer button in the kitchen before turning on the hallway light.

But what if you could walk into a well-lit home every day without flipping a switch? What if your smart home managed your natural and electric light, creating the right lighting for every occasion, time, and mood? What if?

A smart lighting control system can do this and much more. Let’s explore what these systems offer and how they magically illuminate homes in Minneapolis, MN.

EFFORTLESS CONTROL

Lighting in a smart home may be controlled via elegant in-wall keypads, remote controls, touchscreens, or voice commands. Tap a button or icon, and watch the lights settle into the perfect hue and temperature throughout your home or in just one room. With one touch, you can also raise and lower your shades, letting in the diffuse light of the sun effortlessly.

The lighting also automatically adjusts based on your location, time of day, and preset schedules and scenes. Our team of designers and integrators will gain an understanding of you and your family’s lifestyles and then customize the system unique to your needs.

For example, for those who enjoy relaxing at the end of a long day, we can program your home to prepare itself for you in advance. As soon as you pull into the driveway, the entryway lights illuminate and the living room lights transition to azure and amber shades. At the same time, your “Relax” playlist begins streaming through your home, the spa heats, and the landscape lights welcome you. The only limit to today’s smart lighting control is one’s imagination.

BRINGING DAYLIGHT INDOORS

Tunable lighting is another popular feature that increases your home’s beauty while enhancing your family’s well-being. In 2018, when Lutron acquired Ketra, they transformed how we light our homes forever. Ketra’s Natural Light solution changes your home’s lights throughout the day, mirroring the changing color of daylight. In the process, it helps bring your internal clock—set by light and darkness—back into balance. In the morning, your lights illuminate with the soft glow of the rising sun. By midday, they’ve settled into a brighter blue hue that promotes focused concentration. As evening falls, they resemble the amber color of the setting sun.
