Heya, Gerard back again; just after my Cappuccino! so ready for the day :-)
In today's email, I want to encourage you to consider looking into some of the cool things that you can do with your existing light bulbs and wall switches...
The two main benefits of lighting control include:
[+] Lighting control saves you energy; once done correctly as described in my book; smart light control contributes to savings on your electricity bill.
[+] Lighting control improves security & safety levels; Perhaps the greatest lifestyle benefits of a lighting control system are the safety and security features. For example, lighting scenes can be programmed to turn lights ON and OFF randomly when people are away on holidays, discouraging potential thieves from entering your home...
So how do I go about lighting control...
Well, there is a bunch of options, namely...
[+] If you are building a new house or involved in some renovations and the budget permits you to install a lighting control system then you should consider running some physical cable.
[+] For houses that are already built and do not have the necessary cables pre-installed, homeowners generally opt for an easy-to-install and affordable wireless lighting control solution.
[+] Installing smart wall switches and wall dimmers throughout a house can on occasions be costly and tedious because it often needs to be done by a qualified electrician.
If that’s a consideration, then you may want to look into using smart bulbs to ‘smartify’ your in-home lights.
Basic features of smart bulbs range from phone and smart speaker control over the Internet to Geofencing - With geofencing, you can simply walk in the door in the evenings, and lights of your choice will automatically turn ON.
No need to fumble in the dark for a light switch or indeed your smartphone.
Talk Soon,
Gerard
P.S. I've been hard at work finishing up the newest version of my signature Smart Home in 8 Weeks course. Hundreds of people have learned to build their smart homes with previous versions, but I continue to take feedback from those that go through the course in my quest to have the best smart home course out there. SO... good news... the new course is pretty much ready (just putting on the finishing touches) and will be officially available soon.
P.P.S. If interested in starting or indeed accelerating your smart home journey I will offer a discount off as part of tomorrow's email, so keep a watchful eye!
Take care,
Gerard
