SMART TECHNOLOGY USES VACATION MODE

When you’re planning a long trip, you can set your lighting system to vacation or away mode. These settings help make it appear as though you’ve never left.

For instance, your system can turn lights on and off throughout different rooms of the home, so it looks like someone is moving through the space.

The alternations are based on actual usage, so if you spend more time in your living room than anywhere else, the light will stay on longer.

Occupied homes are statistically less likely to be targeted for break in, so it’s a good idea to make it look like someone’s home.

THOUGHTFUL LIGHT DESIGN FOR YOUR FLOOD LIGHTS

Your lights can integrate directly with your security features, too.

For instance, the same sensors you use to prompt your surveillance camera into action can integrate with your lights for even greater safety.

When someone or something steps into your yard, your fixtures can automatically flood the area with illumination.

Most likely whatever it was that entered your yard will run away quickly.

Additionally, when your system activates, you can receive a push notification on your smartphone or tablet no matter where you are in the world.

COMING HOME? PREPARE WITH AUTOMATED TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS

Lastly, it’s important to prepare your home for when you come back from vacation.

With the touch of a button on your smartphone app, you can illuminate the walkways and foyer of your home for easy access.

Don’t worry about tripping on any toys or lawn equipment, even if you come home late at night.

With integrated lighting automation, just one touch makes it the perfect lighting environment.
