You can turn on the light via app or a home command center, or by simply talking to your personal assistant. Control the lighting settings, dim or brighten as needed, and set a daily schedule for energy efficiency and more savings on your monthly bill.
Set Up a Home Command Center
Setting up a smart home command center let’s you control all your smart appliances like lightiny, washing machine, refrigerator, roomba, and many more. With a centralized hub, each family member can access their devices to perform tasks such as changing temperature and closing window treatments. There will be cohesion around the household and greater control of energy usage.
