Key Quotes:
- A lighting control is a larger (though not necessarily more complicated), automated way to control lighting, to give the user more capability of control of his lights over regularly turning them on and off.
- You don’t even necessarily have to think about your lighting controls working. It just does it for you. We’re trying to achieve seamless integration with constant connectivity.
- It can be as easy as turning on a light switch and it can be as complicated as having certain light fixtures turn on on certain days or at certain times or at certain light levels.
