Never Walk to Bed in the Dark Again
With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we all have our moments where we forget things: birthdays, appointments, paying our bills, and even our car and house keys. Here are a few nifty gadgets and devices that will make sure you never get left out in the cold.
Relief is closer and easier than you think. With just a few smart lighting control products, you can turn off any light in the house from your nightstand.
The Solution
Although every home is set up differently, we've found that the most common lights that Smarthome customers want to control remotely are:
- An overhead light fixture in the family room
- A plug-in lamp in the family room
- The front porch light
- The overhead kitchen lights
All of these devices can be managed from your bedside table, even turning every one of them off with the single press of a button!
The Shopping List
Mini Remote
Remote Control Wall Switches
Remote Control Plug-in Modules
The most popular and easiest solution to set up would be to purchase a Insteon Mini Remote and two LampLinc Plug-In Modules. From here you'll want to choose expansion options for controlling other lights (or appliances) throughout the home. To control the overhead light fixtures in the family room and kitchen, as well as the porch light, you'll need a wall switch or wall dimmer (switch for on/off only and dimmer for dimmable incandescent, CFL, or LED bulbs); to control the family room lamp or any plug-in light, you would choose a plug-in dimmer module (for dimmable lighting) or plug-in appliance module (for non-dimmable lighting such as CFL or LED bulbs).
