When you are using Sunset and wake up at night to go to the kitchen, for example, all you need to do is tap on the kitchen on the floor plan. Sunset, unlike Alexa, not only switches on your Kitchen lights and your Bedroom lights, but it also lights up the spaces and path that leads to your kitchen. Once you are done, all that you have to do is tap on the dedicated button again, and application switches off the lights, and also defaults back to your sleep mode. Now that called being smart. And do you see the dock there? Well this is an accessory that individuals can buy that helps ensure they have their tablets docked and charging at night before going to sleep. The dock will beep 30 minutes before your usual bedtime incase the tablet is not charging on it.
