changes everything.
Your living room shouldn’t feel like an office at 9 p.m. Adaptive lighting adjusts brightness and warmth throughout the day—then steps aside when you take control.

02 / MORE THAN SMART BULBSMake the whole home
Make the whole home
work together.
A handful of useful improvements can change your everyday routine. We help choose, connect, and fine-tune the pieces around how you actually live.
Adaptive & smart lighting
Room-by-room control, tunable white light, motion-triggered bathrooms, sunset porch lighting, and settings that respect your preferences.
“The lights just feel right.”Your home, within reach
Set up remote access to compatible lights, thermostats, and home controls. Check in from your phone, whether you’re upstairs or away.
“Did I leave that light on?”Cameras you can actually use
Bring camera views and recordings within easy reach, including nursery cameras and baby-monitor viewing setups. Explore local recording and detection options for compatible equipment.
“Show me what happened at the garage.”One simple dashboard
Put the controls you use most on a phone, tablet, or dedicated screen. Tailor views for rooms and household members, with cameras and status in context.
“Everything I need, in one place.”Locks, alarms & garage controls
Bring compatible access and security devices into everyday routines. Lock a door or arm an alarm from a bedside control, with useful status feedback.
“I’m already in bed. Let’s stay here.”Automations & one-touch buttons
Make a physical button do more. Coordinate lights and compatible devices in a routine, or let motion, time, and occupancy handle the small things.
“One button. Good night.”HVAC & thermostat controls
Bring compatible thermostats into one place. Coordinate zones, schedules, and temperature holds around your routine, with controls suited to your heating and cooling equipment.
“Make the temperature settings make sense.”Troubleshooting & upgrades
Diagnose devices that drop offline, unreliable Zigbee and Z-Wave connections, pairing problems, and automations that undo one another. Improve the system you already own.
“It should work more than some of the time.”Motorized shades & blinds
Coordinate compatible shades with daylight, privacy, temperature, and your lighting scenes. We help select suitable controls and bring them into schedules, dashboards, and one-touch routines.
“Let the morning in. Keep the evening private.”Audio, TV & entertainment
Bring compatible speakers, TVs, and streaming devices into simple controls. Coordinate multi-room listening or a movie scene with lights and shades, indoors or on the patio.
“Movie time, without the remote shuffle.”Wi-Fi & connected-home reliability
Review coverage, device placement, and network settings to help your smart home stay connected. Plan practical improvements for the devices and rooms you use most.
“A connected home needs a dependable connection.”Sensors, alerts & energy insights
Connect compatible leak, door, motion, temperature, and energy sensors. Build useful notifications and at-a-glance views, with routines for supported irrigation and other household devices.
“A little awareness goes a long way.”Already smart. Occasionally frustrating?
Start with what you already have—Apple Home, Philips Hue, SmartThings, or another setup. We’ll assess compatibility before recommending what to keep, connect, or change.
Our focus is smart-home planning, setup, programming, and ongoing refinements. Compatibility is assessed before recommendations. Electrical wiring, HVAC installation, and specialist mounting or construction are handled by appropriately qualified professionals. Security integration does not include professional alarm monitoring.
03 / SMALL BUTTON. BIG DIFFERENCE.A whole routine.
A whole routine.
One familiar touch.
A smart home should work for the people who live there—including the person who never wants to open another app.
Give a wall switch a second job. Put a useful button by the bed. Make “good night” mean something to the house.
Try an example. These controls only change the demonstration.

Built around Home Assistant, with the freedom to adjust your own routines—and a helping hand whenever you’d like one.
Compatible local devices can operate locally; cloud services retain their internet and subscription requirements.
BUILT FROM HANDS-ON EXPERIENCEA real home.
A real home.
A lot of learning.
Philly Smart Lighting started with EJ’s own home: roughly 80–90 smart lights, physical scene controls, locks, thermostats, and plenty of real-world troubleshooting.
That experience shapes the approach: make the controls easy, get the timing right, and investigate the frustrating details. Whether you’re starting fresh or improving devices you already own, the goal is a home that feels easier to live in.

THE PRACTICAL QUESTIONSSmart should
Smart should
feel simple.
Can I make changes myself?
Absolutely. We build around Home Assistant, an open-source platform that gives you the freedom to keep shaping your home. Adjust scenes, schedules, dashboards, and automations yourself whenever you like. If you’d prefer a hand, we can take care of changes for you, with optional paid support tailored to what you need. You decide how hands-on you want to be.
Can you help with nursery or baby-monitor cameras?
Yes. We can help bring a compatible nursery camera into an easy-to-use viewing setup on your phone or household screen. We’ll consider picture and audio features, access permissions, and any recording preferences around your family’s needs. Available features depend on the camera and connection.
Can we start with the devices I already own?
Yes—that’s a good place to start. We’ll assess compatibility and what can be reused before recommending equipment. Some devices integrate locally; others need their manufacturer’s cloud service or subscription.
Do I need to use an app for everything?
No. Physical switches, scene buttons, motion, and schedules can handle daily routines. A dashboard or phone adds convenient control when you want it.
Can I still change the lights myself?
Absolutely. Manual overrides are part of a thoughtful lighting setup. We tune how your system responds so an automation doesn’t immediately undo the setting you just chose.
What happens if the internet goes out?
Supported local devices and locally configured automations can keep working if their controller, network, and devices have power. Remote access and cloud-dependent integrations may be unavailable. We’ll explain those dependencies as part of the plan.
Can my cameras record without a subscription?
Some compatible cameras support local recording to an NVR, NAS, or another suitable system. Others depend on a cloud plan. Storage, retention, remote access, and recording features are assessed for your specific equipment.
How do we find the right scope and budget?
We begin with a relaxed, 30-minute conversation about your home and what you’d like to improve. An in-home consultation can help turn those ideas into a practical plan. We’ll talk through the consultation fee and project options together before moving forward, whether you’re starting with one room or thinking more broadly.
Will I need electrical work or a renovation?
Many improvements start with bulbs, plug-in devices, sensors, and wireless buttons. If a project needs wiring or other electrical work, we identify it during planning so a qualified electrician can handle it.
