Have you ever wondered why lighting is considered the bedrock of a smart home? Beyond a mere tool for visibility, appropriate lighting serves as a mood enhancer, an interior décor enhancer, and a crucial component of your home's daily functionality.
Within smart homes, the narrative is even more compelling; lighting forms the base layer around which all other technologies are built. Let's dive into how lighting lays this solid foundation.
Lighting as a Control Layer
Seeing lighting as merely an on or off fixture is an outdated concept. Architectural lighting increasingly offers homeowners the ability to create moods, highlight decor, and supplement natural light. But within smart homes, lighting goes a step further; it provides a control layer that interacts with other technologies. Think of it as the canvas on which you’ll paint your smart home picture.
At Wicked Smart Homes, we don't see our advanced lighting systems as isolated units, but integral parts of an interconnected home ecosystem. For instance, gradual sunrise simulations in bedrooms could trigger morning routines: slowly increasing temperature, playing your favorite morning playlist, and firing up the coffee machine.
Conversely, employing the "Goodnight" scene dims the lights, activates the security system, and lowers the thermostat.
