The demand for homes is more significant than ever; individuals and families seek more space, security, and access to outdoor activities. Surprisingly, the largest demographic looking to purchase are millennials - a segment many discounted as potential buyers.

This group is looking for more than open floor plans and two-car garages; connectivity and convenience are at the top of their list. Home automation and integrated technology are no longer considered an option; they are expected in the same way plumbing and electrical service are. While a smart home can also include whole-home audio or dedicated home theaters, sophisticated lighting and motorized shades are the must-haves your client may not know they need.

Smart home system technology can play a key role in adding value to your properties across all these areas. Start with efficiency. Many prospective tenants want to live in "green" buildings.

Do you ever think about the lighting inside your home? It’s something we tend to take for granted. We need it, of course, inside and outdoors. Generally, we want to be efficient about the way we use light – not leaving lights on when they don’t need to be.

We also like our lighting to be adjustable and adaptable, bringing the right light to shine on a task. For cooking we may want our island lights on, under-counter lights turned on bright, and the lights over the range on. In the morning, we want lighting that gently wakes us in the bedroom, and the kitchen coffee area well-lit to highlight that ultra-important morning caffeination task.

There is a way to bring smart technology to your lighting with a lighting control installation for your Atlanta-area home. Beyond convenience, it can add style, accent special features, and make your home safer and more energy efficient.
