What Makes Outdoor Lighting "Smart"?
Smart outdoor lighting is an exterior system you control from an app instead of a switch or basic timer. With EXT Lighting's app-controlled systems, you choose colors and brightness, save scenes for holidays and events, schedule the lights to run themselves, and control everything by voice through Alexa or Google Assistant—all from your phone, whether you're on the couch or out of town.
The everyday convenience is the part people notice first. Lights come on automatically at sunset, settle to a softer brightness late at night, and switch off on schedule without anyone touching a switch. When you want something special—team colors for game night, festive colors for a holiday, a warm glow for a dinner party—it's one tap on the app.
Just as important is how the system fits into the rest of your home. We set up lighting with modern smart-home standards like Matter and Thread in mind, so it connects reliably and works alongside your other connected devices. Whether you want a simple scheduled system or full integration with a broader home-automation setup, we configure it to work the way you live—and back it with our lifetime warranty.

Smart Lighting Control FAQs
Common questions about app-controlled and smart outdoor lighting in the Sacramento area.
App-controlled outdoor lighting lets you run your exterior lights from a smartphone app instead of a switch or timer. You can change colors, set brightness, save scenes for holidays or events, and schedule the whole system—all from your phone, whether you're home or away.
Yes. We configure systems that integrate with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant so you can control scenes and brightness by voice. We set up the voice commands during installation and show you how to use them.
Matter is a smart-home standard that helps devices from different brands work together, and Thread is a low-power network that connects them reliably. Together they make a smart-home setup more stable and future-proof. We set up systems with these standards in mind so your outdoor lighting fits cleanly into a modern connected home. Our guide explains how they apply to permanent outdoor lights.
Absolutely. Scheduling is one of the most popular features. Lights can turn on at sunset, shift to a lower brightness late at night, and switch off at a set time—every day, with no manual input. You can adjust the schedule any time from the app.
In many cases, yes. We can assess your current setup and advise whether smart controls can be added or whether the controller needs upgrading. Smart control is also included as an option on every new system we install.
