Quality Sleep With Smart Wake-up Light
Do you feel waking up to the sudden light disturbing? You can have control over this with smart wake-up light. Smart wake-up light will increase the light gradually after a pre-decided time. You can set the time an hour before you are waking up time. You can also leave out weekends as you sleep till late on the weekends. You can also set these lights to turn on only when the light is already on at night. You can also control the level of brightness. Say for example you can set the wake-up light to go from 0% to 50% in half an hour or an hour as you deem fit.
Dimming Lights Around Bedtime
When you consider installing a wake-up light, dimming the lights automatically around bedtime is also a great feature to consider for home automation. If you are a person who forgets to turn off the light and falls asleep randomly, this feature is one of the must-haves in your home. Having a smart bulb or smart dimmer will suffice for this home automation.
Motion Controlled Lights
Motion-controlled lights are not a good solution for living rooms. However, they are perfect for bedrooms, bathrooms, garages, and the basement. Having motion-controlled lights in your smart home will relieve you from walking into a dark room and searching for the switchboard. Just walk in and get the lights switched on automatically. The lights also get switched off automatically once you walk out of the room. It helps you save electricity. The sensor will detect the motion in the room and also the absence in the room and turn on/off lights accordingly. This suits perfectly well for small rooms. This might not be the best idea for the living room as family members keep walking in and out of the room frequently. Lights get switched on with the immediate movement in the room but for turning it off, a specific time has to be set. This timing is customizable as per the user’s choice.
Automated Bathroom Nightlights
All of us have to wake up in the middle of the night to use the washroom. At that hour, all of us are half asleep and have trouble opening our eyes. Having to switch on the light with half eyes closed and getting lights blind with high exposure to light in an extremely dark room is troublesome. With automated bathroom nightlights, these issues can be troubleshot. With Smart home lighting solutions, you can have washroom lights turned on with motion detection. Not just that, the lights that turn off are also dim. The same light will be bright during the day.
Change Light Colors When It’s About to Rain
With windows and blinds closed, it is often possible to not notice it is about to rain or already raining outside. An automatic lighting control system can help you stay alert if it is about to rain. With an automatic lighting sensor, the home lights will change color to blue or any other color you set. This will help you know about the rain conditions beforehand. You can take important things into the home from the garden area or take the vehicles under a shed or take the pet inside the home if you have any. The light will be back to normal after a few minutes. The minutes can be set according to the user’s preference.
Light Flash When Doorbell Rings
Has it ever happened that a delivery boy went back just because you failed to open the door? Do have a habit of working with headphones on? Well, home automation can solve this issue for you. Lights will flash in the house whenever the doorbell rings. This way no guest will go back just because you didn’t hear the doorbell.
Bright Lights During Cooking
Having an automatic light sensor will brighten the lights in the kitchen during cooking. The rest of the time even when lights are on, the brightness will be moderate. You can set the percentage of the lights according to your needs. Say for example, during the daytime the kitchen lights will be at their 20% capacity but during the cooking hours, it will adjust to 60%. The light will return to the normal 20% after the set hours considering the cleaning and dishes.
Using LUX Level for Turning On Lights Automatically
Google and Alexa are always there to order when you want the lights to turn on. But, you can take this a notch higher with wireless lighting. By using LUX level for automated lighting, your home will never be dark. Not just at night but during rainy days, the lights will automatically turn on and turn off based on the natural light in the home.
