Do you already own a smart lighting system? Aren’t you in luck! Not only do you have complete control over your lights’ color and brightness, but you can also save scenes and schedule lights to follow a routine.
But controlling LED lights is only half of the equation. What if you could manage and automate natural light in your Toronto, ON home, too?
By integrating motorized shades into your automated lighting system, you’ll add even more convenience, comfort, and energy savings to daily life. Plus, with Canada’s recent ban on corded window coverings, now is the perfect time to switch to motorized shades.

Did you know motorized shades can help improve your home’s security? And we don’t mean providing privacy when you need it (although that’s important, too!).
With motorized window coverings incorporated into your smart home system, you can program shades to raise and lower at various times throughout the day, mimicking the appearance of an occupied house. And by syncing your shades to smart lighting, both will work together to create a convincingly occupied house.

Lighting has remarkable power over the way we feel. After all, there’s a reason dark winters can bring people down. Bright, cool lighting at home feels right in the morning but may seem uncomfortable and harsh in the evening. Likewise, warm indoor lighting appears stuffy and dim during the day yet creates a cozy atmosphere after dark.
So why do so many people settle for poor lighting? They may screw in any old lightbulb, even if it’s too bright or dim, and make do with it until it needs replacing again.
It isn’t so with Crestron. When you use Crestron lighting control in your Muskoka, ON home, you create the ideal ambience for any activity with one press of a button. There are many smart lighting brands on the market, but below, we’ll share what makes Crestron one of the best.
When people talk about smart lighting, they’re usually referring to wirelessly controlling interior lights. They may use it in the bedroom, kitchen, or across the entire house. But what about outside?
Landscape lighting can absolutely be controlled by a Crestron smart system, and with it, you can do incredible things. We’re here to shed light on how, by partnering with a Crestron dealer, you can intelligently illuminate the exterior and backyard spaces of your Muskoka, ON home. Get inspired below!
Remember when we could only use a landline or cordless phone for calls? And when TV shows could only be viewed live? Someday, we may find ourselves saying, “Do you remember when lights could only be turned on or off?”
Dimmers have been around for years, but their capabilities can only go so far. Now, smart LED lights let users customize the colour and brightness of their bulbs directly from their phones. But plug-and-play smart lights are vastly limited. You need to adjust the light every time you turn it on, and you can’t apply automated schedules or scenes for the entire house.
To do that, you’ll need a smart system like Lutron or Crestron lighting that merges all your lights into one ecosystem. Read on to see how remote light control by Lutron will forever enhance the way you illuminate your Toronto, ON home.
