What signature techniques does Scott Kivowitz use in his automated smart home video lighting setup?

Hi there! I’m Scott Kivowitz.

In my automated smart home video lighting setup, a few things are key:

• Scene-based presets: I switch between “video mode,” “headshot mode,” “cake smash mode,” “family mode,” etc., which each trigger different light groups, brightness, and color temps.
• Smart home platforms: Mostly HomeKit, with some Alexa gear bridged through HomeBridge so everything acts like a single system.
• Zoned control: Ceiling, key, background, and accent lights are on separate smart switches/plugs so each scene can re-balance contrast and depth.
• One-tap or voice workflows: I trigger full studio changes with a single button or voice command instead of manually adjusting every light.

Is there a specific part of that setup you’d like me to break down more, like the presets or the hardware?
