Lighting Control

As a component of home automation, lighting control makes up the single most visible aspect of automation.  The ability to push a button and turn down a property is almost mandatory in a large estate.  And, a strong case can be made for lighting automation if you are interested in a “Green” property.

Investing in a Creston lighting system that utilizes the Crestron Green Light software will provide real time information on power consumption and the savings associated with installing a well designed lighting system.  Through the use of occupancy sensors, lighting zones, daylight sensors and scheduling software, a well designed system can pay for itself in less than a year.

The defining component of any automated lighting system is the ability to control and program it.  The creation of scenes and arrival and departure schedules should be as simple as selecting a song on your ipod.

Before investing in any home automation system it is important to see the control interface that will be used to manage the system.  An easy to use interface is the single most important aspect of any system.
