Smart Lighting: Convenience, Security, and Energy Efficiency

With smart lighting switches and a system controller, lighting control offers convenience, enhances security, highlights the beauty of your home, and preserves energy for greater efficiency. As previously mentioned, you can control your lights from almost anywhere. The convenience this provides is almost immeasurable. It not only allows for intentional lighting changes but also lets you turn off lights in areas that were "forgotten" when you’re already elsewhere in your home.

With automated lighting control, outdoor lighting that enhances and adds beauty to your home can be set to activate during the evening and automatically turn off later at night, making it both energy-efficient and convenient—all while increasing security around your home.

For security purposes, your lighting can be connected to sensors that activate lights when movement is detected, as well as to the alarm system itself to trigger lights along with sirens and communication to authorities. In the case of an alarm, flashing home lights help guide authorities to your location and act as a deterrent for potential intruders.

How We Do It

Your home lighting will look and operate just like any standard house lighting when desired. What creates the automation are the types of switch features, which are predesigned based on possible plans and desired outcomes. The components of the system are installed as needed to create specific lighting scenes. Lighting can be controlled by room, by area, or set up to control individual lights. These switches, dimmer switches, and controllers operate on a special frequency that can be delivered as subcarriers through your electrical wiring or via a wireless signal.

With these special features, a smaller system can be initially installed with the potential to expand over time. This flexibility is beneficial if your project has an initial budget while allowing for future enhancements to meet your desired outcome. Origin HiFi will assist with full consultation, design, and installation of your system.

All the components in our provided system equipment are of the latest technology and are quality-manufactured for a long, productive service life. Add value to your home and have confidence that your investment is well spent, knowing you are getting the best. If yours is a new construction project, starting early for planning purposes will be your greatest advantage. When planning begins, make sure Origin HiFi is at the top of your list.
