Smart Outdoor Lighting Controls

Outdoor lighting is essential to take your daytime fun into the night. You may already have permanent lighting installed in your outdoor space and around a pool, but string lights are great for those springtime celebrations and parties. 

With Lutron’s new smart plug for Caseta systems, you can control your outdoor string lights remotely. This means you can set a timer for your string lights to come on automatically at, say, sunset each day. And when daylight savings time rolls around, the "smart timer" on your smart plug will account for the new time, just like your smartphone. 

To get the most out of the Caseta plug, you’ll want to integrate outdoor Wi-Fi access points to take advantage of wireless control of lights through your smart device of choice. 

Smart Protection for Water Features 

In addition to your light, you can really wow your guests with timed water features. Outdoor fountains and pumps for pools and hot tubs can be connected to a smart plug to come on and turn off at certain times. Synch these changes with your lighting control and outdoor music to create amazing displays for guests. 

If the weather isn’t looking so inviting, you can easily adjust your smart plug to turn off features to protect them. The smart plug itself has pretty smart weather protection with a durable design to withstand inclement weather, as well as harsh winds and sun. 

Convenient Options for Smart Control 

Enjoying the outdoors means you spend less time doing outdoor tasks and more time relaxing. The Lutron smart plug lets you do just that with a host of control methods. With robust outdoor Wi-Fi available in your home, you’ll be able to use voice command, the Lutron app, or the pico remote control to adjust devices to your liking. 

Caseta integratewith Alexa, Apple Homekit, Google Assistant, and Ring video doorbells and cameras, which give you the options you need to automate your outdoor devices so you can spend your time relaxing in the Springtime weather. If you’re using Sonos Move for your outdoor music, it’ll integrate with that as well.
