Smart lighting can transform your interior completely, allowing you to choose colors, light temperature, and the general amount of light in every room of your house.

Moreover, the main benefit of smart lighting is that you can integrate it even in an old house.

Here are a few tips on how to do it.

Research

Start by researching different smart lighting options available in the market. 

Look for systems that are compatible with older houses and can be easily installed without major renovations.

Choose smart bulbs

Select smart bulbs that fit into your existing light fixtures. 

These bulbs can be controlled wirelessly through a smartphone, voice commands, or a smart home hub.

Setup the hub

If you decide to use a smart home hub, set it up according to the provided instructions. 

This hub acts as a central control system for your smart lighting.

Install smart switches

If you prefer to control your lights using switches, consider replacing your existing switches with smart switches. 

These switches can be programmed to turn lights on/off, dim, or change colors.

Connect to Wi-Fi

Ensure that your smart lighting system is connected to your home's Wi-Fi network. 

This allows you to control the lights remotely using your smartphone or other devices.

Download the app

Install the app provided by the smart lighting manufacturer on your smartphone or tablet. 

This app allows you to control and customize your lights, create schedules, and adjust settings.

Configure settings

Use the app to configure settings for your smart lights. 

This may include setting up scenes, timers, or routines that suit your preferences and daily routines.

Test and adjust

Test your smart lighting system to ensure it functions as desired. 

Make any necessary adjustments to settings or configurations to meet your needs.
