How Can Lighting Control Enhance Your Thanksgiving Celebration?

Thanksgiving is all about bringing family and friends together to share a delicious meal, enjoy each other's company, and create moments that will be remembered for years to come. If you are hosting the traditional dinner this year, you have a lot on your plate (long before the meal!), and an easy aspect to overlook is the atmosphere. But it’s almost as important as the food—the wrong lighting can set the wrong tone and lead to an unsavory evening ill-befitting of a savory meal. 

Luckily, at Integrated Electronic Solutions, we have smart home technology that can help. While we can’t promise our solutions will stuff the turkey or bake the pie for you, we have smart lighting control technology that helps you set the perfect atmosphere without hassle.

Enjoy the Right Lighting From Dawn to Dusk

Thanksgiving is more than just the meal—it's the entire day filled with different activities and emotions. With customizable lighting control, you can set the right mood for each part of the day. Start the morning with white, energizing light to keep you alert and productive while cooking, cleaning, or decorating your home. Then, transition to a bright but welcoming atmosphere, perfect for greeting guests as they arrive. Then, as dinner time approaches, adjust the lighting to create warm, cozy tones that encourage heartfelt conversations around the dinner table. With the ability to create custom scenes, you can easily switch between these settings with the touch of a button.

Make Your Outdoors Festive with Landscape Lighting

First impressions matter, especially when hosting a holiday gathering. Smart landscape lighting is a useful tool for elevating curb appeal and bringing out the beauty of your garden, wowing your guests before they even enter your home. 

Moreover, outdoor lighting can help guide your guests safely around your home, especially if you are hosting guests with mobility issues. Motion sensors can activate pathway lighting to ensure your guests can easily navigate throughout your front and back yards, making them feel safe and comfortable in every space.

Ultimate Convenience Even While Away

Traveling for the holidays? Lighting control can help with that, too. If you forgot to turn off all the lights after you’ve departed, open your app and turn them off right from the plane. If you’re worried about trespassers or burglars snooping on your property, you can schedule your lights to turn on and off at random intervals throughout the day to simulate occupancy to ward them off. Enjoy your holiday vacation in peace! 

Let Voice Control and Automation Lend You a Hand

Do you want to make the experience even more simple and convenient? Voice control allows you to adjust the lighting without leaving your seat—just say a simple command to dim the lights, change the color, or activate a pre-set scene. If you prefer to focus solely on spending time with your family, you can automate your lights to change at specific times or even follow an astronomical clock, ensuring everything runs smoothly without constant adjustments.
