Designing a Smart Home

Many homeowners are designing their houses to be “smart homes,” integrating as much technology into everyday tasks as possible. For example, automated window shades and keyless entry. At Connecticut Lighting Centers, we believe in keeping up-to-date with the latest trends in home automation, as it allows us to help enhance your home beyond lighting. How can you transform your property into a smart home? Consider the following products from some of our most trusted brands.

Landscape Lighting

Nest Home Security products To decrease the chances of your home being burglarized, it is important to install landscape lighting. Many homeowners avoid it due to the cost to keep lights on all night, but the advent of LED bulbs greatly reduces energy costs. In addition to detracting burglars with a home that is lit at night, motion sensors can also be integrated to alert you when someone is on your property. We have an extensive line of landscape lighting products available in our showrooms, from retailers like Kichler and Hinkley.

Lutron Caséta Wireless

Lutron is an industry leader in lighting controls. Their innovative Caséta Wireless product allows you to control the features of your home with the tap of a button. From home or your smartphone, you can turn the lights on and off, adjust the thermostat and lower or raise the shades. Lutron also carries a state-of-the-art line of motorized window shades.

Nest Home Security System

Customize your home security options with a system from Nest. The system can control from one to all four of these features: thermostat, CO/smoke alarm, indoor camera and outdoor camera. You no longer have to worry about a fire or attempted break-in going unnoticed; your Nest system will send an alert via text or email at the first sign.

Schlage Keyless Entry

When you come home from shopping with several bags in your hands, it’s a hassle to put everything down to open the front door. With Schlage Keyless Entry products, you can gain access to your home using a four-digit code, fingerprint recognition or Bluetooth connectivity through your smartphone.

We are proud to be much more than a lighting store. To automate your home, visit our Hartford or Southington showroom and explore our products.
