Automations and Controls

Organizing your smart devices by assigning them to specific rooms – such as the living room, kitchen, or bedroom – makes it easier to navigate your home app and control your devices. For example, you can use a voice command or other controls to manage all devices in a room. Zones are collections of rooms, such as all rooms on the ground floor. This makes it simple to control entire sections of your home with a single command.

Smart Home Rooms and Zones

Rooms: Group devices by their location (e.g., living room, kitchen, bedroom).

Zones: Group rooms into larger sections (e.g., downstairs, upstairs).

Smart Home Scenes allow you to set a group of devices to turn on or off to suit a particular mood or function. All devices will be controlled simultaneously upon triggering the scene. For example, a “Movie time” scene could turn off all your lights and turn on your TV and ambient lights. This simplifies the process of creating the perfect environment for various activities.

Smart Home Scenes

Movie Time: Turn off all lights, turn on the TV and ambient lights.

Good Morning: Gradually turn on bedroom lights, start the coffee maker, and play your morning playlist.

Goodnight: Turn off all downstairs lights, lock doors, and set the thermostat to a comfortable sleeping temperature.

When all your devices are smart, you’ll be able to control your whole home with one command or automation. Imagine leaving the house and having every single one of your lights, AC, fans, and other accessories turn themselves off automatically. This not only provides convenience but also helps save energy.

Using apps on your smartphone, you can control your devices, add scenes, and configure automations. Your smart accessories are now easily accessible at your fingertips – even if you’re not at home. You can set scenes and use voice commands to manage your home effortlessly.

Make your home devices even more accessible by adding dedicated wireless smart switches. These work as two-way switches but without the wires, allowing you to place them wherever you need. For example, you can have one on your bedside table to turn off your bedroom lights.

Flexibility: Place switches wherever they are most convenient.

Convenience: Control lights and other devices without reaching for your phone.

Smart speakers and phone voice assistants can now control your devices and trigger routines and scenes. While not everyone fancies speaking to a machine, it’s a surprisingly usable hands-free control – our parent clients can testify to its convenience when their hands are full.

Set a smart device to turn on or off at a specific time on specified days. You can also choose “Sunset” or “Sunrise,” which varies by the day. Devices can also be set to turn themselves off after a set amount of time, providing convenience and efficiency.

Smart Home Time-based Automation

Scheduled Lights: Turn lights on at sunset and off at bedtime.

Morning Routine: Start the coffee maker at 6:00 AM on weekdays.

Set devices to turn on or off when a sensor detects something. For example, motion sensors can trigger lights, making your home more responsive to your presence and needs.
