After we recently announced the release of our wireless system, TCP Wireless, you probably had one of two reactions. The first reaction is one of interest and a bunch of questions about how the system works. The second reaction is “How would I use this system in my daily life?” For those of you in the second camp, here are four practical uses for TCP Wireless.
#1 Safety
TCP Wireless offers users safety on two fronts: intruder discouragement and household accident prevention. As you leave your home, you may leave a light or two on to repel potential burglars. It’s a potentially effective strategy and certainly common.
However, imagine a potential intruders surprise when all of your home’s lights are on, or even better, when someone appears to be moving from room to room. With remote access through the TCP wireless app your home lighting can give thieves the illusion of an occupied home.
The second safety benefit is perfectly designed for late night journeys through the house. Now with the home remote or your smart phone you can turn on your hallway lighting and avoiding stubbing your toe or tripping on loose objects.
#2 Scheduling
Sometimes the hardest part of getting up in the morning is getting up to turn on the lights. Now you don’t have to. The TCP Wireless app lets you schedule morning wake ups, powering down your house for the night, or a well lit home as your children get home from school.
#3 Energy Savings
Have you ever forgotten to turn the lights off during the early morning rush? If you’re energy conscious, even the worrying of leaving a single light on throughout the day can drive you crazy. With the TCP Wireless app you can rest easy. The app not only lets you see what state your lights are in, dimmed, full brightness, off etc., but also lets you control your pre-programmed lighting zones remotely.
#4 Convenient Control
Whether you’re adjusting lights for a party, turning out every last light before bed, or changing the lighting levels in your TV room, it’s all a lot easier without running to a light switch. Use a smart phone or the remote to control your home lighting with ease.
