Enhance Everyday Living with Today’s Home Automation Technology

What comes to mind when you think about your home’s lighting? For many people, it’s the light switches they flip on and off when they enter a room and the table or desk lamps they turn on for task lighting. Today, however, lighting has become an integral part of a home’s design. It incorporates the natural light streaming through the windows and the accent lighting that highlights a home’s best features. It’s light that no longer remains stagnant but changes as daybreak turns to dusk.

Not only is it breathtaking, but it’s also effortless to control. Today’s smart home lighting control enables users to manage their home’s lights with one touch on elegant in-wall keypads and touchscreens. High-performance LED lights combine with beautiful design, daylight harvesting, and powerful controls. The result is a seamless interplay of daylight and electric light in colors transformed with a tap or a voice command. 

Are you ready to explore today’s smart home lighting for your St. Louis Metro home? Let's look at a few features that take a home's lighting from good to breathtaking.

Lighting that Changes for Every Activity

In-wall keypads are custom-engraved with your go-to settings for everyday activities that benefit from one-touch control. For instance, do you regularly have dinner with friends on the patio? Tap the “Outdoor Dinner” button, and your patio and landscape lights reveal an enchanting oasis, while the water features and pool lights illuminate to Mediterranean blue. These keypads can also incorporate audio-video equipment and shades, streaming your “Outdoor Party” playlist through landscape speakers and opening shades to reveal the beauty of your outdoor areas. 

Lighting as Interior Design

At The Sound Room, we specialize in providing premier smart home integration. One of our partners, Lutron, is a world leader in home lighting control and design. Their high-end LED lights enable homeowners to use lights like a painter, splashing colors of every hue throughout their home for different occasions. 

The architectural features and fine works of art come alive, revealing their utmost beauty. When it’s time for dinner, tap the “Dining” button, and the task lights in the kitchen dim while the under cabinet and dining area lights transform to the color of a golden flame.

The Power of Daylight 

Daylight offers incredible benefits, from increasing vitamin D to improving our mood and enhancing our home’s beauty. Unfortunately, it also contains UV rays that damage our home’s flooring and furniture. To protect our home and reduce glare, we tend to keep our window coverings closed during the peak of the day. 

A smart home manages daylight and electric light, raising and lowering motorized shades based on direct sunlight, temperature, and programmed schedules. In response, your home's lighting brightens and dims based on the level of natural light. Your home creates the perfect environment every minute of every day.
