The Perfect Environment Redefined

Today’s smart homes offer an incredibly luxurious lifestyle. They prepare the perfect environment, no matter the activity, from waking to working, relaxing, and entertaining. Press a button or state a voice command, and the lights, climate, shades, and entertainment respond. 

The trick to this level of smart home living is customization. After all, everyone has a different idea of what the “perfect environment” means. Some prefer to wake up to the morning sun streaming in as the shades open and the sound of mountain streams fills their home through the whole-home audio system. Others want to wake up to their favorite rock band and head to the heated home gym. 

The possibilities are nearly incomprehensible. 

That’s where the importance of a home automation company comes in. You want to work with a team of expert automation integrators that can customize your smart home so that every connected device performs precisely how you want it to. Through the myriad of tasks, moods, activities, and social gatherings, you want a home that creates your preferred environment. 

And that’s where Bennett Technologies comes in.

Lighting Scenes to Try 

One of the most exciting features of a lighting control system is the ability to create lighting scenes. Lighting scenes allow you to set the perfect ambiance for any occasion or mood, activated with a single tap of a button or command. Try the following ideas: 

• Movie Night: Create a cozy atmosphere in your home theater by dimming the lights and turning on a soft accent light behind the TV.
• Dinner Party: Instantly set the mood for an elegant dinner party by dimming the lights in the dining room and adding warm, indirect lighting.
• Good Morning: Wake up gently with an automated scene that gradually increases the brightness in your bedroom and raises motorized shades. 
• Goodnight: Prepare your home for a restful night's sleep by turning off all the lights with a single button press.

Automate to Your Lifestyle 

Lighting control systems can also automate lights based on time, occupancy, or other triggers. For example, you can set your lights to automatically turn on when you enter a room and turn off when you leave. Lutron’s premium lighting fixtures Ketra and Ivalo gently fade on and off, so it never feels abrupt. 

Bring Music and Movies to Life No Matter Where You Roam

Consider how much you listen to music, tune into your favorite podcast, or kick back and enjoy the latest movie. Like many, much of your life may revolve around the music and media that enhance everyday living. 

A whole-home audio system takes these experiences to the next level. Throughout your home, you hear detailed, high-fidelity music. When it's movie night, you're immersed in the moment, surrounded by the action unfolding on the screen. High-performance music and audio follow you no matter which room you're in and even in your outdoor areas.
