The holidays are just around the corner, and you’re probably already imagining the holiday lights and decor for your home. But if you want to be a little more creative with your indoor and outdoor holiday lighting, you may get aggravated by all the manual switching you need to do. Thankfully, smart lighting and home automation are now available as an option.

Cable company Clear Creek Communications in Oregon City, OR, tells us why you should consider adding this holiday treat to your lighting plans:

• It’s Easy To Convert: If you only have patio lights or a flood light in your driveway, then switching to automated lighting control should be a breeze. You only need to change the manual switches to smart wireless switches.
• You Can Set A Schedule: Automating your holiday lights gets rid of the inconvenience of turning your lights on and off manually. You can set the times of the day and duration you want your lights to stay on. If you want your neighbors to enjoy your lighting display even when you’re not at home, you can also go off-schedule by controlling them with an app.
• Sensor Controls: You can make use of sensors that automatically trigger the lights upon detection of motion. So if you want your holiday lights to turn on the moment you step foot in your home, automation is the way to go.
• It Saves You Money: Controlling your indoor and outdoor lighting with an app will make it easy for you to conserve energy and cut costs on your electrical bill. Because you can pre-set your schedule, you won’t have to worry about forgetting to turn the lights off and racking up a huge bill.
