There is a huge benefit in incorporating technology into the house. Integrating features like lighting and scenes add an ambiance and a character to your home that you can’t get without simply flipping a bunch of switches and setting a bunch of dimmers. This lighting technology helps you control the scenes in your home and give a really cool aesthetic that can change throughout the day. You can also incorporate window treatments like roller shades or solar shades into that technology.
Talking about those scenes, you can program these features so that certain points during the day, depending on where the sun’s going to be in relationship to your home, those shades can automatically roll down to help with your energy efficiency. It will also help keep the heat out coming through the windows and therefore helps with your electric bill and things like that. With that technology, you can also use lighting to really highlight any artwork and adjust it throughout the day to make sure that those pieces are really highlighted in your space.
Another good option is playing with those scene controls and color temperatures that can again set the tone and set the mood and set the ambiance within your home. Maybe you want the lighting colors to be brighter during the day because you’re working in the house or you have a home office where you need to set the scene in there to have that comfortable working environment. Then in the evening you can change the color temperature and make it a little bit warmer, make it a little more cozy or more inviting.
