Control Your Outdoor Environments and Extend Your Living Space with Home Automation and Outdoor Shades

We’re blessed to live in an area that boasts some of the best hiking and skiing in the nation. And at the end of a long weekend spent outdoors or after a day in the office, there's nothing better than coming home to your outdoor oasis and relaxing in a bug-free, climate-controlled space. In this, the final of our three-part series on home lighting automation and motorized shades, we’ll look at how outdoor shades can extend your living space in Park City, UT, and the surrounding areas and create the favorite room in your home.

Illuminate your Bountiful, Utah, home with automation and lighting control!

Lighting technology has come a long way since Lutron entered the market by perfecting the first home dimmer switch in 1959, and innovative companies like Lutron and Control4 have been improving luxury homes ever since with lighting control. Residential customers have reported benefits like mood improvements, better sleep, more energy, and more, incrementally boosting lighting control’s popularity over the last few decades.

Home lighting automation offers a variety of practical benefits that you will use every day, and the best part is that you can benefit from every one of them just by living in your Utah home! Learn why home lighting automation will be a benefit to your health, productivity, convenience and more by reading below.

How Managing Light Improves Mood and Energy

We may not realize it, but light – and the absence of it – affects us in many ways. Instinctively, we may feel far more energetic on a bright sunny day than a rainy, dreary one. In fact, your mood and energy might swing dramatically when the sun comes out after an extensive cloudy period.

Fortunately, the Park City area and the Utah Wasatch Front are known for getting their fair share of sun and light. Yet there are still times in the mountains when daylight hours are short and days may be relatively dark. The good news is technology has solutions to keep your energy up no matter the weather or light.

In this blog, we’ll mention how two incredibly convenient smart solutions – home lighting automation and motorized shades – can help you make the most of natural and artificial light all day long.

Let Us Help You Design the Right Lighting System for Your Needs

Without surprise, lighting control is one of the first solutions many homeowners invest in when outfitting their property with smart technology. Smart lighting systems offer convenient and intuitive control of all your lights through personalized keypads, a mobile app, and even voice control. In return, you receive improved home security, reduced energy usage, and more time in your day.

Our team installs entirely modular lighting control systems that are perfect for homes old, new, big, and small. Whether you want to start in a few rooms and expand later or invest in a large-scale lighting control installation for a new build, you’ll receive a premium lighting control experience with our help.

If you’re considering home lighting automation, read below to learn about the different types of lighting system designs that we offer and which may be the right method for your needs and budget.

Lutron systems grow with you, too. If you begin by adding smart lighting capability to the kitchen and bedrooms but decide to expand to the home theater and patio later, you can! Lutron control systems can support one to 10,000 integrated devices, depending on the system that’s right for you.
