What Is Lighting Automation?
Lighting automation allows your lights to work together through a centralized system instead of individual switches alone. With automated lighting, you can set schedules, create custom scenes, and control lights remotely through a mobile app, wall keypad, or smart home system like Control4.
Lights can automatically adjust based on time of day, occupancy, or preset routines—without constant manual control.
Benefits of Lighting Automation for Homes and Rentals
Lighting automation delivers both comfort and practicality:
Convenience: Control multiple lights with a single button or scene
Energy efficiency: Automatically turn off unused lights
Security: Schedule lights to turn on while you’re away
Consistency: Lights behave the same way every day
Better guest experience: Clear, easy lighting control in rentals
For short-term rentals, automation helps reduce energy waste between stays and keeps the property well-lit without relying on guests to manage switches.
