When it comes to creating the perfect ambiance in your home, lighting and shading control are key. Just as important as Wi-Fi, smart lighting and automated shades can transform any space, adding comfort, convenience, and style.

At Dreamedia, we work with trusted brands like URC to offer seamless integration for all your smart home needs, from lighting and shading to complete home automation. Let’s dive into how URC’s innovative approach makes managing lighting and shades a breeze.

Why URC for Lighting and Shading?

URC’s system is built for flexibility, allowing you to control a variety of third-party brands under one easy-to-use platform. This is especially important in areas like lighting and shading, where different brands may be needed to accommodate custom window shapes or specialized features.

With URC, whether you’re using Lutron, Screen Innovations, or another top brand, you can control everything from a single, unified interface.

For example, at Dreamedia, we install a range of solutions from Lutron lighting to Screen Innovations shades, all easily managed with URC’s Total Control system.

This means you get a seamless experience without needing to worry about brand compatibility. You can adjust lights, lower shades, or set specific scenes—all with a few taps or a voice command.

Integrating Custom Shading Solutions

One of the greatest benefits of URC’s system is its flexibility for custom shading needs. Windows come in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes a standard solution just won’t do. With URC’s third-party integration capabilities, you can easily control shades on custom windows, such as triangular or trapezoidal shapes, as if they were standard shades.

Through URC’s unified interface, you don’t need to worry about switching apps or dealing with different control setups. For instance, you could control a mix of Screen Innovations’ TOA shades and Lutron shades from a single URC system, ensuring a smooth and consistent user experience.

Whether using touchscreens or voice commands, you get precise control over every shade, no matter its brand or type.

Personalized Scene Control for Effortless Ambiance

Scene control is one of the most powerful features of URC’s system. Imagine walking into a room and simply saying, “Alexa, run my evening scene,” and watching as your shades lower, lights dim, and everything aligns for a cozy evening.

With URC, you can set up specific lighting and shading scenes tailored to your daily routines, making home life smoother and more enjoyable.

Each scene is customizable, allowing you to adjust individual shades and lights to exact percentages. URC’s two-way communication shows you real-time adjustments, so if a shade is set to 75%, you’ll see that reflected instantly in the app.

This level of precision and control is ideal for creating the perfect ambiance in any room, from your living area to your home theater.

Enhanced Control Options with Black Nova Keypads

For those looking to add a touch of luxury, URC now integrates with Black Nova keypads. These elegant, Italian-designed keypads bring a premium aesthetic to your home, offering customized scene control for a variety of settings.

Each button on a Black Nova keypad can be tailored for specific scenes, such as lighting, shading, or audio settings, giving you total control with a stylish, high-end look.

The Black Nova keypads are customizable in both function and appearance. Whether you want two large buttons, four medium buttons, or eight smaller buttons, you can design the keypad to suit your needs and style.

They operate on line voltage and Z-wave, allowing them to act as dimmers or control specific lighting loads, bringing flexibility and sophistication to your home automation setup.

No Ongoing Fees: Enjoy Long-Term Value with URC

One of the major advantages of URC is that it offers a long-term value proposition. Once you purchase the necessary hardware and complete installation, there are no ongoing fees.

This means you can enjoy your system without the need for costly annual licenses or subscription fees, even when integrating third-party products like lighting or shading solutions from brands outside of URC.
