At Integraci\u00f3n AV we install it in homes in Bogot\u00e1 and Medell\u00edn with Crestron and Lutron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s one of the systems in a <a href=\"https:\/\/integracionav.com\/en\/solutions\/smart-home-automation-bogota-medellin\/\">smart home<\/a> and it&#8217;s usually the first one automated, because it&#8217;s used every day. This guide explains what it includes, how it&#8217;s installed, and how it changes your energy consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Lighting Control Is<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lighting control system replaces standalone switches with programmable keypads and dimmers connected to a processor. With these lighting controls, each button can turn on one circuit, several at once, or a full scene with different intensities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lights also respond on their own: they turn on at dusk, turn off when a room is empty, or dim at a set time. That&#8217;s what&#8217;s meant by automatic lights for the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"iav-split\"><figure class=\"iav-split__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PORTADA-DOMOTICA-NUEVA.avif\" alt=\"Wall keypad with buttons for lights, closet, shades, and blackout\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure><dl class=\"iav-lista\"><div><dt>Scenes<\/dt><dd>Buttons like &#8220;dinner,&#8221; &#8220;movie,&#8221; or &#8220;cleaning&#8221; that adjust every light in a room with one touch.<\/dd><\/div><div><dt>Dimming<\/dt><dd>Adjustable intensity on every circuit, from work light to relaxing light.<\/dd><\/div><div><dt>Schedules and sensors<\/dt><dd>Turning on by time of day and shutting off when an occupancy sensor detects nobody&#8217;s there.<\/dd><\/div><\/dl><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lighting Scenes by Activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Light changes how a space is used. Bright, white light works for working or studying; warm, dimmed light works for relaxing or having dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why scenes are programmed by activity, not just by room: &#8220;work&#8221; in the study, &#8220;dinner&#8221; in the dining room, &#8220;movie&#8221; in the living room. When there are large windows, the daytime scene makes use of natural light and leaves the fixtures that aren&#8217;t needed turned off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wired or Wireless Lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In new construction or a full remodel, dimmers and keypads are wired in from the design stage. In a finished home, wireless lines exist, such as Crestron Z\u016bm, that control the light without breaking into walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"iav-tabla\"><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">Aspect<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Wired<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Wireless<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><th scope=\"row\">When it&#8217;s the right choice<\/th><td data-label=\"Wired\">New construction or a full remodel<\/td><td data-label=\"Wireless\">Finished home or changes room by room<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Construction work<\/th><td data-label=\"Wired\">Conduit and wiring run to the control panel<\/td><td data-label=\"Wireless\">Keypads and controllers with no new wiring<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Scope<\/th><td data-label=\"Wired\">The whole house from a central processor<\/td><td data-label=\"Wireless\">Room by room, with the option to integrate into a central system<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"iav-foto iav-foto--band\" style=\"background-image:url(\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Domotica-Image-2024-07-30-at-10.10.10-AM-5-1024x768.avif)\"><div class=\"iav-foto__texto\"><h2>Energy Savings and Outdoor Lighting<\/h2><p>Lighting control lowers consumption because it turns off what&#8217;s not in use and makes the most of natural light when coordinated with the shades.<\/p><p>Outdoor areas, such as gardens, facades, and pools, are scheduled so they don&#8217;t stay lit all night.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"iav-callout iav-callout--vidrio\"><p class=\"iav-callout__etiqueta\">Savings<\/p><p>Schedules and occupancy sensors turn off the light in spaces nobody is using.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How We Install Lighting Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"iav-pasos\"><li><strong>Assessment<\/strong>We review circuits, fixture types, and rooms, and define what gets dimmed and what just switches on and off.<\/li><li><strong>Design<\/strong>We document the system in drawings using AVIXA nomenclature and choose between Crestron and Lutron based on the project.<\/li><li><strong>Programming<\/strong>We configure scenes, schedules, and sensors with the homeowners.<\/li><li><strong>Handover and after-sales<\/strong>We train the people who use the home and maintain the system with agreed response times.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"iav-relacionado\"><p class=\"iav-relacionado__etiqueta\">You may also be interested in<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/integracionav.com\/en\/what-is-home-automation-for-houses\/\">What Home Automation Is for Houses<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions About Home Lighting Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"iav-faq-item\" open><summary><h3>What do I need to control my home&#8217;s lights from my phone?<\/h3><\/summary><div><p>Dimmers or control modules on the circuits, a processor, and the system&#8217;s app. In an integrated project, the same app also handles shades, climate, and audio.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"iav-faq-item\"><summary><h3>Can lighting control be installed without breaking into walls?<\/h3><\/summary><div><p>Yes, with wireless equipment that replaces switches and communicates with the processor.
