Whether you’re looking for extra security or purely convenience, smart light switches have something to offer. They take the hassle out of remembering to switch off the lights and can even make it appear like an empty home is occupied. Learn more about these smart home devices available at Staples below.
What Is a Smart Light Switch?
Smart lighting switches replace your existing light switches and connect to your home or office’s wifi network, allowing you to control connected lights remotely or via smart hubs and voice assistants. It’s a hassle-free way to control indoor lighting.
Why Should I Buy Smart Dimmer Switches?
You can replace traditional 3-way switches commonly found in living rooms, stairways and hallways with smart dimmer switches to adjust the brightness of your lights and create the perfect ambiance for the task at hand — whether it is an office meeting breakroom or a family movie night at home.
You can also program smart home light switches to turn connected lighting on and off at random intervals to give the appearance you're at home when you’re not. This provides additional security and peace of mind by deterring potential intruders.
Smart dimmer switches can come in multi-packs that can be grouped for seamless control with one tap on your smartphone.
