A look at how technology is able to allow you to control your lights from your phone

When it comes to lighting, people want access to be easier. From not having to change the bulbs on a regular basis, to controlling their lights at home no matter where they are in the world.  The demands for immersive lighting control is growing dramatically. Now, there is a new technology which allows people to control their lights from their phones and tablets, as long as they have an internet connection. We’re taking a look at this new technology and how you can integrate this into your daily life, to make your life a lot easier.

Home Automation Systems

Home automation systems are just one of the many ways that people are being able to control their lighting and other electrical devices without getting out of you’re chair. Home automation systems are generally used with efficient LED strip lighting which provide longevity and an environmentally friendly option when it comes to lighting. LED lighting is one of the most versatile forms of lighting and can be adopted to a number of systems. With these systems, people can control the brightness of the bulb and whether to dim them or not, and whether they want them off or on. They can also be sequenced in order to provide a completely new lighting experience that was not necessarily available before the introduction of this form of lighting. Home automation systems are the latest smart home accessory, and it is the perfect way for you to control your lighting.

Coloured Lighting

LED lighting can be available in a range of different colours, and this can all be controlled by one system – all located on your phone or tablet. Any device that is connected to the internet and set up with your lighting system can allow you to control the entire selection of lighting, as and when you please. Whether you prefer to have just some of the light bulbs in your home coloured, whether you want to replicate a room to be like a feature piece of art that you have on the wall, or whether you just want a relaxing blue-toned atmosphere for the bathroom as you bathe, there’s plenty of ways that you can create the atmosphere that you want all available to dictate from your phone.

Security

Security is exceptionally important for your home, particularly if you’re away on holiday or just not at home for a night or two. When it comes to security, you can help to deter thieves and trespassers into your home even if you’re not there, simply by switching your lights on and off at certain times, no matter where you are – simply by using your mobile phone. Some technologies are even smart enough to replicate your day-to-day lighting usage, so anyone looking in will think that you’re at home, even when you’re not. As long as your automation system is connected to the internet and your phone, and you have access to WiFi you can control your lighting all from your mobile phone. This new technology is certain to keep your home safe when you’re not there.
