Whether building out a new home or upgrading an existing one, integrating smart home devices into your project has become easier than ever. When it comes to planning a smart home lighting (and smart ceiling fan) plan, there’s plenty to consider in addition to the usual interior design factors. | | Ways to Make Your Home Smarter | | | Smart Switches and Dimmers | Replacing existing switches and dimmers with Wi-Fi connected smart switches and dimmers is an effective way of turning existing hard-wired lights and fans into smart lights and fans. With the smart controls in place, the lights will continue to function the way they did, but can now be controlled from anywhere in the room—or world, depending on signal strength. | | | | Smart Fans | Installing a smart fan is a quick way to get into the smart home game. As a stand-alone device, it instantly brings smart-home tech to any room, but it can also be incorporated into a smart home system, depending on compatibility. Smart fans allow for control of the temperature, syncing with a smart thermostat and can even be activated using voice assistants. The newest fans take energy efficiency to a new level through built-in sensors that automatically recognize changes in the room’s temperature and humidity and act accordingly to maintain the desired atmosphere. | | | | Motion Sensing Lights | Save time and energy with motion-detecting smart lights that know to light up when someone has entered a room or outdoor space. The lights are programmable to sense motion at certain times of the day or have them tailored to a schedule. Additionally, they are typically Title 24-compliant. | | | | Smart Mirrors | Don't overlook the ability to update bathroom spaces. Lighted smart mirrors offer a range of features that will optimize and energize the morning routine, including motion sensors, integrated LEDs and even touch screen displays that play video and stream audio without disrupting the reflection. | | | | Favorites | Your personal "My Favorites" list organizes everything you love in one or multiple lists to make it easy to group items you're shopping for or simply revisit the things you love in one easy click. | | | | Project Manager | Use our Project Manager tool to organize, store and share your current projects, whether remodeling, redecorating or looking for inspiration.
