LIGHTING CONTROL
Automated lighting has many benefits. First, there’s the convenience of lighting that can be managed by schedules, voice commands, or as part of scenes that precisely set lighting for specific activities. Add to that the energy-saving component of lighting that doesn't stay on when unneeded. Automation also adds a safety factor to your property, lighting paths and entries for safety and making your home appear occupied when you're away. Finally, modern LED lighting with color and temperature control adds new dimensions to lighting for ambiance and mood as well as improved aesthetics.
SMART SECURITY AND LOCKS
If your Hamptons home is a part-time residence, smart security features you can access remotely can give you ultimate convenience and peace of mind. A video door station like Siedle or a smart security solution from Control4 can let you check who is at your door when home or away. With smart locks from Baldwin, Yale, and other brands, you can remotely let in a guest or service person or grant temporary access. Video camera solutions all over your property ensure that you always know what’s going on, with instant notifications of activity if you want them.
MOTORIZED SHADES AND WINDOW TREATMENTS
Motorized shades, blinds, and window treatments not only make it easier to manage light and heat buildup in your home, but they also contribute to privacy, security, and energy savings. Being able to open or shut shades on a schedule, through other automation, or manually at the touch of a button lets you create a comfortable environment anytime. Motorized shades can also be coordinated with smart thermostats and lighting for energy-efficient operation of your home while you're there or away.
WELLNESS
One of the newest smart features in Hamptons homes is oriented around improving wellness. Smart systems can monitor water and air quality and turn on special filtering and treatment when needed—a special boon to those who suffer from seasonal allergies.
Lighting color temperature also plays a role in wellness, as automated lights that adjust during the day can better match human circadian cycles and assist with better mood, energy, and sleep. Even smart audio and video systems can help with wellness through the power of music and digital imagery of nature to bring more of the outside world indoors and create more soothing and relaxed indoor environments.
