Smart Light Switches & Dimmers

Light switches that are capable of being controlled by voice commands or via an app on your tablet or phone are smart switches. When connected to your Wi-Fi network, it can make adjusting your lights a seamless process. You can even flip lights on and off remotely. This is helpful in many circumstances, including when you’re traveling and want to create the illusion that someone is home, or when you want to come home to a bright and welcoming house. Plus, being able to remotely control light switches is a big help when you’re practicing sustainable living by conserving resources. Lights are notoriously left on for long periods of time which wastes energy and raises utility bills. If you’re already in bed and need to turn on the lamp that’s connected to your smart switch, simply ask the digital assistant in your smart speakers to turn it on while you stay cozy under the covers. 

Before buying Wi-Fi light switches, consider how long you’re going to be living in your home to make sure it’s worth the investment. Many smart switches need to be professionally hardwired into your electrical system, which makes them a more permanent smart home solution compared to smart bulbs and smart plugs.
