Automating functions such as temperature, lighting, HVAC and even music can enhance any area. Automation also offers a number of compelling benefits within residential settings and without.

For homes automation adds convenience and luxury, ensuring the right temperature, music and lighting with preset scenes, is either set automatically or just a button press away. It can aid security, with lighting settings adjusted to make the house look occupied. Automation can also offer cost savings through reduced energy use and light damage.

For hospitality, automation makes the whole process for guests as seamless as possible. Lutron's myRoom solution prepares the room while the guest is checking in. Depending on the time of day or night, the lights, window treatments and HVAC will automatically adjust, making sure it is the perfect temperature and ambiance for guests. Automating music, HVAC and lighting for communal areas, makes sure the perfect ambience doesn't rely on staff.

For offices and commercial uses, automation ensures the lighting meets regulation levels for staff. It can also adjust colour tones, to match the circadian rhythm to improve efficiency, health and wellness. Studies show it can also positively benefit the outcomes of meetings.

Automated solutions are an important part of smart building installations.
