Lighting Automation

Q: Do smart home lights work with normal switches?

In most cases, a normal wall switch will still turn lights off but not on. When a normal switch is in the off position, the automated lighting can’t function unless it’s wired into the mains power supply separately.

Q: Are light controlling systems energy efficient?

Yes, light controlling systems are considerably more energy efficient. By only turning lights on when you need them, you can save a significant amount of energy.

Light automation is one of the many growing aspects of home automation. Being able to control when the lights are on and off without having to deal with a light switch, or in some cases even being present at all, helps you increase your energy efficiency. Smart lighting systems allow you to control remotely all the lighting in your home and create the perfect ambiance for any moment. ArchiPro features some of the highest quality lighting systems available in Australia and ensured that all products come only from suppliers you can trust.

Types of lighting automation systems

Remote controlled

Remote controlled lighting systems have advanced from a simple remote on the coffee table into more easy to use options such as voice activation and smartphone displays.

Timed

Timed lighting automation systems are preset to turn the lights on when needed, and off when they’re not. This is useful for ensuring that unneeded lights aren’t left on all day.

Motion activated

Motion activated lighting is most often seen as part of entry automation systems, but a growing market for indoor motion activated lighting around stairs and other hazards shows they can also be useful indoors.

Smart systems

Smart home lights take multiple forms of input such as timers, motion sensors and voice activation, and integrate them into a single system that anticipates your needs.

The advantages of high-quality lighting automation systems

High-quality home automation aims to improve your quality of life by reducing the need for constant manual adjustment of your home environment. If parts of the system are breaking or need readjustment on a regular basis, this defeats the entire purpose.

High-quality lighting automation systems have greater sensitivity, are more reliable and are made of stronger materials. They also often incorporate smart systems, which can be voice activated or automatically adjust light levels to suit the current natural lighting conditions.

How to choose a lighting automation system that’s right for you

Illuminating hazardous areas such as stairs, ramps and narrow paths is an investment in your safety. By installing motion activated sensors near these areas, you can arrange for lighting to automatically be provided for the household and visitors alike. For this reason, outside lighting is one of the most common types of light automation in Australia. If you’re looking for a more luxurious setup, it’s worth talking to an expert and having a full home setup designed specifically for your house.

Does home lighting automation add value?

Yes, home lighting automation adds value beyond the cost of purchase and installation. Homes with advanced automated lighting systems are seen as more modern and desirable.
