Smart Lighting Controls For Outdoor Lighting
Are you looking to elevate your outdoor space and make it as inviting as your indoor living areas? NatureScape has the perfect solution for you – smart lighting controls that not only enhance the aesthetics of your outdoor environment but also provide unparalleled convenience.
Understanding Your Options
At NatureScape, we design tailored outdoor lighting and audio solutions to meet our clients' unique needs. To achieve this, we carefully evaluate your property and recommend smart lighting controls based on your specific requirements. Let's delve into the three primary options we often recommend: Astro-Timers, SimpleWorx and Lutron Caseta controls.
Astro-Timers: Precision in Programming
Astronomical timers are electronic devices used in lighting controls, offering automated scheduling based on sunrise and sunset times. These timers provide energy efficiency and security benefits.
At NatureScape, we leverage the power of Astro-Timers to create customized lighting schedules that align with the natural rhythms of your outdoor environment. They are our go-to choice when precision in programming is crucial, enhancing landscape lighting efficiency by adjusting schedules throughout the year.
SimpleWorx: Interior Control Hub
For a comprehensive interior control hub, we recommend SimpleWorx. Installed inside your home, SimpleWorx takes command of up to 16 devices, offering you centralized control over your outdoor lighting.
Picture this: you're expecting guests after your usual lights-off time. With a simple flick of a smart switch connected to SimpleWorx, you can override the programmed operation for specific areas. For instance, your porch, pathway, and driveway lighting can be activated with ease, creating a welcoming ambiance for your late-night arrivals.
However, it's essential to note that SimpleWorx lacks dimming capabilities. If dimming is a crucial feature for your outdoor lighting setup, we'll explore alternatives that align with your preferences, like the Lutron Caseta.
Lutron Caseta: Connectivity & Beyond
NatureScape recommends the Lutron Caseta control for those seeking extensive connectivity and advanced features. With the capacity to operate 75 devices, Lutron Caseta stands out as a versatile choice. Operating on a proprietary system, it ensures consistent performance even when there's no Wi-Fi available.
Imagine controlling your outdoor lighting with the utmost ease. The Lutron Caseta control allows you to do just that. Whether you're at home or miles away, the Lutron Smart Bridge and app empower you to manage your Caseta Wireless dimmers using your smartphone. Adjust the ambiance, set schedules, or activate favorite lighting scenes – all from the palm of your hand.
With a wide range of smart dimmers, switches, and plugs for indoors and out, Caséta offers a complete smart lighting control system that is also easy to use. Add a smart hub for enhanced control of your lights plus thermostats, window shades, Sonos and much more. That is what is so great about Lutron Caséta’s family of products.
