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.

Even though home automation is growing exponentially and the smart home market is expected to reach $53.45 billion in 2022, many people have yet to experience the day-to-day wonders that this technology imparts. 

While words don’t really suffice, we thought we’d share a few of the remarkable features that one of our favorite smart home systems offers homeowners throughout Birmingham, MI. As a Control4 Dealer, we’re uniquely positioned to describe the technology that’s taking the world by storm. 

Home automation is taking the world by storm for a good reason. Imagine waking up to the sun filtering through already drawn blinds, coffee or tea made, and your favorite newscaster reporting the weather when you walk into the kitchen.

Some of the most remarkable innovations, and the most popular, are occurring in the lighting control space. Automated lighting transforms rooms, outdoor living areas, gardens, and more. It lights a trail when you arrive home and turns out the lights when it’s time for bed.

Let’s look at what a lighting control system can do for you and your Birmingham, MI home.

When you think about a “smart home,” what comes to mind? For many, their thoughts turn to blinds that lower with voice command, lighting that shifts throughout the day, or smart TVs that automatically adjust to your family’s preferences.

No matter the extent of your home automation, at the core of these systems is one goal—making your life more enjoyable, your home easier to manage, and your experience a seamless integration of today’s technology.

In our experience, there’s one home automation system that truly defines the essence of this technology. So let's look at what Control4's system can do for your Oakland County, MI home.
