How Smart Lighting Can Support Home Security
See how suitable lights can follow a schedule or react to a sensor.
Choose what you want a light to do
You may want a passage light to come on after movement, an entrance light to follow a schedule or phone control for a chosen room. Start with that task. Then check whether the light, sensor and app can do it together. The available actions depend on the products you choose.
Check the lights, switches and wiring
Existing lights and switches vary from home to home. Some smart lighting changes need electrical work and professional installation. Wireless sensors do not make every part of a smart home wiring-free. We explain what needs to change before you agree to the quote, so you know what installation will involve.
Try normal controls as well as the app
Everyone who uses the home should understand how the lights work. Try the normal controls and the chosen app actions after installation. Ask what happens after a power or internet interruption. Products do not all behave the same way, so check your installed setup rather than assuming every feature will continue.
Use lights as one part of the plan
A light can help you see an area or draw attention to a chosen event. It cannot guarantee that theft will stop. Suitable sensors and camera views can add other useful information. We also do not promise a fixed saving on electricity. Choose a few useful actions and see how they fit daily life.
