Manage your home’s lighting with intuitive voice commands
We use the lighting in our homes every day, but most homeowners do not take full advantage of the convenience and customization available to them. Take your home to the next level with lighting control that goes beyond an on-off switch. Imagine intuitively adjusting the brightness and color temperature of your lighting through simple controls like a mobile app, a wall keypad, or even the sound of your voice!
Whether you are new to smart technology or a veteran, voice control systems will add an extra layer of convenience to your lifestyle. Read on to learn four considerations when you will be glad to have voice-controlled lights in your Phoenix, AZ home.

Coming Home from the Store
When walking in the door with your hands full of purchases, your hands are not free to flip the light switch. Yet, you still need the light to safely navigate your home and make it to the kitchen or the bedroom. So, stay safe and avoid the dark with a voice-controlled lighting system that allows you to turn the lights on with a simple vocal command, no hands needed.
Waking Up
Getting out of bed in the morning can be hard, especially if you are not a morning person. Lighting control by voice makes your morning routine a bit easier by allowing you to command your lights to turn on at a dimmed setting without leaving the comfort of your bed. For even more convenience, you can pair your lights with a home automation system and program your bedroom lights to gradually brighten automatically at the time your alarm goes off!
Cooking
Natural light is the best light when cooking in the kitchen. While you can usually take advantage of daylight when making breakfast or lunch, you will need ambient and task lighting in the evenings to safely navigate the kitchen after dark. Naturally, your hands are usually busy chopping vegetables or mixing cocktails, so why not turn to your voice assistant to set the perfect lighting for you? Activate a preset kitchen lighting scene with a quick command or ask your voice assistant to turn on the overhead and under-cabinet lights to your desired brightness and color temperature.
Movie Night
When you are immersed in your favorite movies in the comfort of your home theater, the last thing you want to do is awkwardly fumble around in the dark to turn on the lights when you need a break. Lighting control makes the experience more comfortable by allowing you to turn on your lights without leaving your seat, making it easier to navigate to the bathroom. You can even create a "Break" scene that turns on the lights and pauses the movie simultaneously. All you need to do is say the command to your voice control system, and your technology will respond intuitively.
