What Is Smart Lighting?
Smart lighting uses connected technology to give you more control over the lights in your home. Instead of relying only on a standard switch, compatible lighting can be managed through an app, smart switch or other control system, depending on the setup.
With app controlled lighting, you may be able to turn lights on or off, adjust supported settings and manage multiple lights from a compatible device. The options available will depend on the lighting products and control system installed.
Lighting control systems can also allow compatible lights to work together or respond to scheduled settings and automation. Smart lighting installation can be planned around your existing lighting and the way you want to use your home.
