The holiday season brings more than decorations and celebrations to your home. The best part is feeling the warmth and connection in the spaces you share with family and friends.
With smart home automation, preparing your home for the holidays becomes part of the magic. From lighting scenes that capture the glow of winter evenings to music that fills every room, your smart home can elevate every gathering and quiet moment alike!
Let’s explore a few inspired ways to bring festive charm and convenience together through lighting, shading, and whole-home control.
Set the Mood With Holiday Lighting
Lighting is one of the most exciting ways to create atmosphere, especially during the holidays. Using your home’s lighting control system, you can design custom scenes that shift the mood instantly without having to rewire anything or string temporary lights across every room.
Try a “Holiday Evening” scene that dims overhead lights, adds a warm hue to accent lighting, and highlights décor around the fireplace or tree. A single voice command or app tap can create a cozy, welcoming ambiance that guests will notice the moment they walk through the door.
When hosting a dinner party, create a lighting scene that brightens the kitchen and dining area while keeping other rooms softly lit for a relaxed, elegant feel. With our partner brands Lutron and Crestron, it’s easy to schedule these scenes based on time or event, so your home is always holiday-ready.
Sync Music Across Every Room
Music brings the holidays to life, and a whole-home audio system makes it effortless to enjoy your favorite seasonal playlists anywhere. Play soft jazz in the dining room, holiday classics on the patio, and your curated mix in the kitchen using the same system.
You can control music zones independently or sync the entire property (even outdoors) for full coverage. Entertaining guests in the living room is simple with a quick command that can adjust volume, switch tracks, or change rooms without interrupting the moment.
Create Convenience With Automated Routines
Holiday hosting means more moving parts than ever—extra lighting, more guests, temperature adjustments, and increased traffic around the home. Automation simplifies it all.
Set your entryway lights and music to turn on automatically as guests arrive. Use occupancy sensors to light hallways and bathrooms without touching a switch, and schedule your motorized shades to close in the evening to enhance privacy while adding a cozy touch.
Voice control adds another layer of convenience. Say “holiday mode,” and your home responds with dimmed lights, music playing, lowered shades, and a slight temperature adjustment.
Highlight Décor With Subtle Integration
Automated shades, accent lighting, and hidden AV equipment help you highlight your seasonal décor without clutter or distraction. Motorized window treatments automatically frame your holiday displays with natural light during the day and privacy after dark.
Accent lighting can be programmed to draw attention to garlands, centerpieces, or artwork, while hidden speakers and low-profile keypads keep walls and shelves sleek and styled.
With thoughtful smart home integration, the technology stays behind the scenes while supporting every detail of your festive vision.
