Daylight saving time (DST) occurs every November. The good news is an extra hour of sleep! The bad news for some is that sunsets and darkness arrive an hour earlier. 

Those with a smart home may wonder how this affects all the connected devices in your home. More good news: If a Control4 system controls your smart home, there’s no need to adjust for daylight savings time. For example, your lights turn on and off based on the system’s astronomical time clock, a timer that correlates with the rise and fall of the sun. 

Of course, a Control4 smart home offers much more than convenience during DST. Let’s explore some other ways it simplifies your lifestyle.
