Lighting Control Solutions: Smart Dimmers, Timers, and Sensors

In today’s world, lighting control solutions are becoming increasingly important for residential and commercial applications. With the advancement of smart technology, lighting control solutions, such as smart dimmers, timers, and sensors, are now available to enhance energy efficiency, comfort, and convenience.

Smart dimmers are a type of lighting control solution that allow users to adjust their lights from a wall switch, remote control, or even an app on their phone. Smart dimmers are designed to be used with LED light fixtures and can be used to adjust the brightness of the lights. Smart dimmers also provide energy savings by reducing the amount of electricity used when the lights are dimmed.

Timers are another type of lighting control solution that allow users to set their lights to turn on and off at predetermined times. This is beneficial for both residential and commercial applications, as it allows for greater flexibility and convenience. For example, in a residential setting, timers can be used to turn the lights on and off when coming and going from the house. In a commercial setting, timers can be used to automatically regulate the lights in a building, making sure that lights are not left on when they are not needed.

Finally, sensors are a type of lighting control solution that allow users to control the lights based on the presence of people in a room. Sensors detect motion and can then be used to turn the lights on or off when people enter or leave the room. This not only increases energy efficiency, but also provides convenience, as users do not have to manually turn the lights on and off.

Overall, lighting control solutions, such as smart dimmers, timers, and sensors, are becoming increasingly important for both residential and commercial applications. These solutions provide greater energy efficiency, convenience, and comfort, and can help to reduce electricity costs in the long run.

New home construction down last month

Construction of new homes nudged down slightly in May, with builders pulling back in the Northeast and Midwest. Housing starts ticked down 0.3 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.16 million units, the Commerce Department said Friday. The government's residential construction report can be volatile on a monthly basis, which might explain the slight decrease. Home construction has improved much of this year, with single-family houses accounting for much of the gains unlike recent years when developers focused more on apartments.

Crestron PROCISE PSPHD Surround Sound Processor Review

In the realm of home automation, Crestron is well established as the leader in the space, with a brand name that well-heeled consumers associate with Sub-zero, Wolf, Miele and the like. In the past few years, Crestron has been making progress in expanding its business beyond the world of touchscreens, control systems, shades and lighting control and into products like media servers and now home theater components.
