Experience One-Touch, Automated, and Voice Control

According to Business Insider, the light switch, technology that’s been used for over 100 years to manage our homes’ lighting, may be obsolete within the next decade. If you’re still flipping switches to turn your lights off and on, that may come as a surprise. Really, what could be more efficient? 

The answer is smart lighting control. Gone are the light switches that don’t do much for your home design. In their place are custom-engraved keypads with backlit buttons so you can see them clearly in the dark. Touchscreens randomly placed throughout your home enable you to tap an icon and adjust one or every light in a room or your entire house. 

But it gets better. 

As smart home living advances, so does the technology that manages your connected home. Today, you can wake to the ideal lighting that mirrors the rising sun and dim the lights as you go to sleep by telling your smart home, “Goodnight.” 

It’s a remarkable world we live in, and we have complete faith that the predicted demise of the light switch will come to pass in Cuyahoga Falls, OH, and beyond. In many homes, it already has. 

Here, we’ll explore what this transition means for Northeast and Central Ohio homes.

One-Touch Control

Your smart home’s lighting is managed via numerous user-friendly interfaces. Instead of controlling one light, they manage every light throughout your home, including the natural light that shines through your windows. 

At Sound & Vision, we’ll explore the many activities that make up your day and then program them into the system, aligning each activity with the perfect illumination. By partnering with Lutron, the premier lighting control experts, we can also incorporate their full-spectrum LED tunable lighting, giving you access to the nearly limitless colors in the visible light spectrum. 

Press the ‘Entertain’ button, and the lights throughout your home adjust to the ideal color and intensity, from golden candlelight to arctic blue and brilliant magenta. At the end of the day, press ‘Relax,’ and your lights transition to the colors of the setting sun. Doing something simple like making breakfast in the early morning? Press ‘Cook,’ and the undercabinet and pendant lights illuminate.

Automated Control

Even more impressive in today’s lighting control systems is their ability to perform automatically. Wake up to your bedroom’s motorized shades rising, letting in the soft, early light of the sun. Lighting that mirrors the world outside illuminates the bathroom and kitchen, creating a beautiful environment that brings natural light indoors. 

When you leave for the day, every light turns off, and the shades lower. When you return, the landscape and first-floor lights brighten, welcoming you home.

Voice Control

What about when you return home with your hands filled with groceries or work from the office? Your smart home makes it so you never fumble in the dark looking for the light switch again. Instead, a simple voice command turns on the kitchen and hallway lights.
