“I wanted more than just beautiful lighting, I wanted automation that fits my lifestyle.” — Kenneth Ong, Onsmart Living Customer

At Onsmart Living, we’re always excited to spotlight how our customers are using smart technology to enhance their daily lives. Recently, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Kenneth Ong, a proud smart homeowner, to learn about his journey and how smart automation has made a real difference in his home.

Inside Kenneth’s smart home setup with a focus on smart lighting scenes

From the moment you step into Kenneth’s home, the transformation is clear. We designed a comprehensive smart lighting system tailored to his lifestyle:

  • One-tap control for grouped lights across the home

  • Custom brightness and color settings for different moods

  • Scene-based automations for daily routines like movie night or dinner time

  • Remote access via smartphone to check or turn off lights when away

  • Energy-efficient settings that reduce electricity usage without sacrificing comfort

“I can adjust brightness or dim lights to match any mood. It’s aesthetic and energy-saving.”

Whether it’s enjoying a cozy movie night or setting the mood for a family dinner, Kenneth’s smart home adapts seamlessly.


Why Kenneth chose a smart home

Kenneth wanted more than basic lighting. His vision was for lighting to complement his lifestyle, automate everyday tasks, and deliver an experience that’s both stylish and functional.

What OnSmart Living built for this smart home

Favorite smart features

The standout for Kenneth? The flexibility of scenes and automations, which allow him to personalize every space in the house.

“I don’t want to get up from my couch just to adjust the lights.”
“The ease of creating automations that fit my lifestyle is my favorite part.”

Smart home tips for new homeowners

Kenneth shares two valuable tips for anyone starting their smart home journey:

  1. Get clear on your expectations: Whether it's convenience, ambiance, or energy savings, knowing your goals helps guide the design.

  2. Hire the right electrician: Choose someone experienced in smart home wiring for a smoother setup.

Kenneth’s next step is adding motion and presence sensors for even smarter automation. Soon, his lights will automatically turn on when he enters a room—and off when he leaves.


Personalized lighting demo before installation

At Onsmart Living, we understand that every home, and every homeowner is different. That’s why, before starting Kenneth Ong’s smart home transformation, we created a customized lighting visual demo just for him.


The goal? To help Kenneth visualize the lighting scenes in his own space before any installation began.


Using his floor plan and design preferences, our team simulated different lighting moods for key activities like movie nights, dinner with family, and bedtime routines. This preview allowed Kenneth to see how various light colors, brightness levels, and automation settings would come together to enhance his lifestyle.
