Smart lighting is a wave of newer technology that aims to enhance and optimize lighting functionality by replacing traditional methods of lighting controls with newer, often wireless, methods.
Basically -- it makes things easier... and cooler!
Smart lighting has been booming in the lighting industry for a long time; more specifically, the last 20-or-so years, with the popularization of assets like dimmers, timers and motion sensors, though these features were primarily limited to commercial applications. Now, smart lighting has become more available in residential applications with the option of smart phones becoming a controller for home lighting with the use of an app.
And, thanks to Caséta by Lutron, implementing this technology into your own home has never been simpler.
