If you have Control4 Smart Lighting, you can add immediate out-of-the-box voice control of your lights with Amazon Alexa-enabled devices. Ask Alexa to light the way when you walk into the house with your arms full. Set the mood easily by asking Alexa to lower the dining room lights to 40%. Or turn off every light at once from the comfort of your bed covers when it’s time to turn in.

Benefits of Smart Home Automation for the Busy and Tired

Blog

In this age of technology and given with so many choices to choose from with our time, everyone is busy with something these days. But we all have a share of coming home tired from work or whatever activity did we sink our teeth into for the day, so exhausted that we just crash on the sofa never wanting to move one bit. But you have to get up because you need to dim the lights and turn on the AC. And then, you suddenly remember to postpone sleep and just have a relaxing time for a bit. A movie night, perhaps?

This is where how you could appreciate more the idea of a smart home. Let alone a Smart home that matches your lifestyle. Smart Lighting and smart entertainment come into play. The total home theater experience. Automatically dim your lights when your movie starts to play. Since your smart house “knows” when you’re watching something, it can respond appropriately when distractions intrude on your viewing experience by pausing the movie, raising the lights and notifying you that someone is at the door. So many entertainment options and all of these in just a press of a button from a Control4 menu on an Ipad or any other Control4 touch screens in the house.

Here’s an excerpt of a tour of one posh penthouse in San Antonio, one of Control4 smart home stories:

Having already lived with automation at his ranch home and his company office, Richard knew a space of this size could truly take advantage of all things automation. “Home automation in a place like this is almost a must,” he says. The Control4 system controls myriad elements, including shades, lighting, and climate. “It has about every bell and whistle you’d want,” Richard notes. There are four entertainment centers on the system, eight televisions, and eight surround sound systems. LED lighting throughout the unit is on the system, including the blue highlights built into the bar. Richard is especially glad he decided to include the doorbell on the system because now he gets a text when someone rings the doorbell and he’s there. Automation has added a lot of convenience and has made a ton of clutter disappear. Richard replaced 77 remotes with one Control4 remote. “I had all these different remotes, for the TVs, the cable boxes, Amazon, Apple TV, the sound system, the fans,” Richard explains. “I was able to reduce all of that down to one portable. And it works! It’s totally reliable.”

Not surprisingly, and more than anything, this penthouse was built for entertaining, which automation supports in many ways. “Welcome” sensors detect when guests enter a room and automatically turn on lights and start the music. Even before Richard arrives, he can trigger the three in-house ice-makers remotely to start cranking out ice for a party. People operate the system using SR-260 handheld remotes, 7-inch touch screens, or their iPhones. Richard’s personal favorite feature? Having his beloved McIntosh sound system included in the automation. Now, he can adjust specific settings like the audio equalizer via Control4. “You just push a button and, boom, it sets it all up for you.”

Double‐tap the same button to turn everything )lighting, electronics, devices, etc.) in the room off.
Lights flash in your garage when someone rings the doorbell.
When the garage door opens after dark the lights automatically turn on, leading up to your door.
Motion sensors in key areas can signal the automation system to switch off lights when a room has been vacant for a period of time.
Landscape lighting can turn on automatically at sunset and off again at sunrise.
A bedtime scene can set bedside lamps at a level just low enough for comfortable reading.
With the touch of an “All Off’ button, all the lights in your entire home turn off.
Midnight snack ‐ just enough light to make your way to the refrigerator and back without disturbing family members.
Motion sensing ‐ at night when motion is sensed. ramp lights to 15% (just enough light to see, and not to be blinded).
Turn off lights automatically each morning when kids leave for school.
if the natural light in the room is less than 50% lights adjust to 50%. If natural light is less than 40%, lights adjust to 60% and so on. This helps for when the shades are drawn or on a cloudy day in the middle of summer.
Landscape lighting ‐ have the lights come on brighter at sunset but dim to 20% at 11 PM to conserve energy.
