Home automation has come a long way in the past few years. Technology has developed by a large margin and hence the systems available nowadays are all of high quality and also they do not need frequent maintenance. Also the price of these systems have come down by a fair margin. This has made these systems affordable to even the middle class. And when it comes to the automations systems that are the most popular, the light controls are right up there. The reason for this is the benefits that automatic light controls bring with them.
Save electricity:
Automatic controls ensure that the lights would only be switched ON when there is something in the room. Hence unwanted usage of electricity would be avoided at all times. This would thereby reflect on the bills.
Environment friendly:
The less use of environment means making the house more environment friendly. In this generation where pollution and over usage of energy are the worst problems, it is important to be environment friendly.
The equipment would last longer:
Since the light bulbs are only used when they are required, there would be considerable reduction in the ON time of the bulbs. This would thereby increase the life time of the bulbs.
Work together with other systems:
When it comes to automatic lighting controls, they can work together with other automation systems in the house like the security system. The sensors too can work together with other systems.
A centralised control:
The automatic controls would have a centralized nature. This means that the residents of the house would be able to control the lights from a central location. In most cases, there would be a remote to control the lights as well.
