Why Every Luxury Home Needs Smart Lighting Control

What Is Lighting Control & Why It Matters

The lighting in your home has a profound impact on your life. It creates the atmosphere for the many activities you enjoy, provides the ideal illumination for various tasks, and offers safe passage in the dark. 

Smart lighting control does even more, providing an ease and effortless beauty that’s hard to imagine until experienced. Here, we’ll explore how this remarkable system is changing homes in Dayton, OH, and the everyday experiences of those who live there.

Unified Control of All Fixtures

At Beacon Audio Video Systems, we partner with Control4, a leader in home automation. Their controller serves as the brain of your smart home, managing the seamless interactions between your smart devices and the user interfaces. 

In the world of lighting, this translates to one-touch control of all the lights throughout your entire property, from interior fixtures to outdoor landscape lighting. Instead of switches and dimmers, you manage your lighting with a high-resolution touchscreen, remote, or keypads. When away from home, the Control4 app lets you monitor and manage your lights from anywhere. 

For those who have taken advantage of motorized shades and enjoy the convenience they offer, you can also control natural light and privacy by adjusting the window coverings from the same user-friendly devices.

One-Touch Scenes for Lifestyle Moments

Instead of adjusting every light in your home for a special event, such as a dinner party, you can create personalized scenes that let you press one button to achieve the ideal illumination throughout your home. 

In the not-too-distant past, our automation experts at Beacon would have had to program the scenes for you, which could be inconvenient when you wanted something different. With the latest Control4 operating system, X4, you can effortlessly change these scenes as your lifestyle, mood, or activities change, whether year-to-year or day-to-day. 

Here are just a few of the limitless possibilities in scenes and customized lighting control: 

• Good Morning: Gradually raises the shades and turns on certain lights in the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen to the desired hue and intensity.
• Relax: Dims the lights to a soft, warm setting while igniting the fireplace.
• Entertain: Transitions the lights throughout your home and outdoor areas to beautiful illumination that provides some areas for intimate conversations and others for group gatherings.
• Good Night: Lowers every shade and turns off most lights except those designed for security or safe passage. Motion sensors turn interior lights on and off, providing soft illumination to the kitchen or restroom in the middle of the night.

Eliminates Wall Clutter with Sleek Keypads

These scenes can be called up via elegant on-wall keypads. Gone are the light switches; in their place are beautiful, custom-engraved keypads with backlit buttons that display individual scenes. Lux by Control4 offers elevated, stylish keypads in a range of designer colors and premium metal faceplates. 

Scalability

Control4 allows you to start with a smart lighting system or motorized shades in one or every room. You can also dive in with a comprehensive automated system that manages your lights, shades, climate, security, entertainment devices, and much more.
