Smart Lighting & Climate Control for Northern Indiana
Automated lighting scenes, occupancy-based on/off, presence-based climate scheduling, and voice control — all integrated through a locally-controlled smart home platform for a subscription-free experience.
Lighting and Climate That Works the Way You Live
Smart lighting isn't about flashy color-changing bulbs. It's about convenience — lights that come on when you walk into a room, scenes that set the right mood for dinner or a movie, and the confidence that you'll never leave for work and wonder if you left lights on.
Smart climate control takes it further: your home or office learns your schedule and adjusts automatically. Presence detection can trigger your HVAC before you arrive, cooling down or warming up based on who's actually home — not just a fixed schedule.
We integrate all lighting and climate systems into a locally-controlled smart home platform — no cloud dependency, no subscription, no data leaving your home. Everything works even when the internet is out.
Smart Lighting & Climate Features
Automated Lighting Scenes
One tap sets the right lighting for any activity — Morning Routine dims up gradually, Movie Mode dims to 10%, Dinner dims the overhead and brightens the accent lights.
Occupancy & Motion-Based Control
Smart occupancy sensors turn lights on when you enter and off when you leave. Never touch a switch again. Reduces wasted lighting in rooms that are frequently empty.
Sunrise/Sunset Schedules
Outdoor lights, path lights, and accent lighting automatically follow local sunrise and sunset times — no programming required, automatically adjusts throughout the year.
Presence-Based Climate
Smart thermostats connected to your phone's location: HVAC adjusts when you leave home and activates before you return. Significant energy savings without any manual scheduling.
Voice Control
Full integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Control any light, dimmer, or thermostat by voice command — or use local voice processing for complete privacy.
Multi-Zone Climate Control
Smart thermostats in each zone of a multi-zone HVAC system, coordinated by your smart home hub for optimal efficiency and comfort throughout the building.
Smart Lighting & Climate FAQ
In most cases, yes. We install smart switches and dimmers that replace your existing wall switches — no new wiring required in most rooms. Smart bulbs and plug-in smart modules can also automate lamps and appliances without any electrical work. New construction allows more deeply integrated in-wall solutions.
We install Lutron Caseta and RadioRA (our preferred choice for reliability), Leviton Decora Smart, and standard Zigbee/Z-Wave switches. All lighting systems are tied into a central smart home hub so everything works together seamlessly.
Our smart home platform integrates with Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell, and most smart thermostats. Beyond simple scheduling, presence-based automation is possible — your heat turns down when everyone leaves, and turns back up 20 minutes before anyone arrives home. Scenes can also tie lighting and climate together: 'Movie Mode' dims lights, closes shades, and sets temperature simultaneously.
Yes. Occupancy-based lighting (rooms automatically turn off when unoccupied) typically reduces lighting energy use by 25–40%. Smart climate control with presence detection and optimized scheduling typically reduces HVAC energy use by 15–25%. Most residential projects pay back in 3–5 years on energy savings alone — plus the comfort and convenience benefits.
Most modern smart switches require a neutral wire. Older homes (pre-1990s) often lack neutral wires at switch boxes, which limits some switch options. Lutron Caseta works without a neutral wire in many configurations. We assess your wiring during the free consultation and specify the right switches for your home.
