Lighting control systems have rocketed in popularity in the last few months as home automation technology continues to grace our homes. Many of these first adopters understand and recognize the benefits of investing in such a lighting control system for their home. Of course, there are people who say that this technology means that our lives are becoming increasingly reliant on technology who will never use the system, whilst others just need to be educated as to why these lighting control systems could benefit their lives before they go ahead and purchase the system. One of the most popular lighting controls system is made by Crestron, so let’s examine why you should install a system like this in your home.

Crestron Lighting Control systems are used by many high-end automated homes both in the UK and the United States. Some of the benefits include…

Convenience

Gone are the days of having to manually switch all your lights in your home on when you come home. This technology automatically switches on your lights when you enter and turns them off when you leave.

Energy Saving

Crestron Lighting Control is a great way to save on energy within your home. Users of the Crestron system have noticed that their utility bills have fallen as a result of investing in the system. You can set the system to an energy saving mode, which means the lights are only switched on when you enter the property using motion detectors. In this setting, when there is no motion in the room, the system automatically turns lights off.

Improved Security

If your home switches lights on and off when you are away from your home, it will prevent any opportunistic home burglaries. Crestron have thought long and hard about this feature, and it shows. They have created "motion detected landscape lights". These lights will turn on when there is movement detected outdoors. We would recommend that you invest in these lights if you are away from your home regularly. In fact, with this system, it is possible to turn on any lights in your property no matter where you are!
