Tip 1: Lighting Sets the Scene

It may not seem like it, but your lighting system is some of the most important technology in your home. After all, how would you see without it?

But many homeowners forget just how versatile their smart lighting can be. It helps set the scene for every event that goes on in your home.

When you’re planning a holiday party, you can quickly define a lighting scheme that emphasizes the areas of each room that you want to show off, and downplays the ones you want to don’t want to draw attention to.

A few swipes on your smartphone or tablet lets you raise and dim the lights in each area, so you can highlight new furniture and artwork. Then you can save the scene with a customizable button and return to it with one touch whenever you want.

Tip 2: Combine Lighting With the Perfect Playlist

Having a smart home is all about letting your technology work together. So why would you craft a scene that only uses your lighting system?

Instead, why not combine the look of your lighting with the perfect playlist via your whole home audio system?

Your smart home system allows you to seamlessly control both. Once you’ve selected the right lighting arrangement, you can switch to your music controls and save that as part of the same setting.

That way, you can easily stream holiday music that puts people in the mood for a fun experience.

Tip 3: Start the Party on Time With Smart Entryways

When you’re rushing around preparing for a holiday get-together, you can easily lose track of time. But you’ll know the moment guests arrive thanks to your smart video doorbell.

As your friends and family step to your door, you can see them and speak with them from anywhere around your home. Then, just tap a button on your touch-panel control device to unlock the doors and let them in.

Once they enter, just one more tap on the controller prepares your space for the evening’s events. You can return to the lighting and music settings you’ve already prepared and focus on what really matters.
