Over the last few years, people have been introducing smart technology into their homes at a growing rate, with 'plug and play' style lighting products being a popular and affordable way to increase your home's IQ. 

Smart lighting is about the set-and-forget convenience but can also add a touch of style. Adding a few smart globes around your home can unlock benefits that make life simpler that include;

Controlling each light individually and in groups. This can include dimming, changing colours and colour temperature. 

 

Turning lights on at a set time at night or when you wake up, then off as you go to bed or leave the house.

Having lights turn on as your phone comes within range of your home.

By exploring the BrilliantSmart app a bit further you will find smart globes also offer feature rich customisations to help you realise their full benefit.

Using a “vacation routine” to turn lights on and off at certain times of the day or night to mimic someone at home when you’re away.

Create a unique ambiance and mood for each room in your home at various times of the day or set the scene for a romantic evening, movie marathon to reading, relaxation and more.

Visualize your alarms, doorbell or security system by pairing the BrilliantSmart app with the free IFTTT app. We all know we don’t always hear the doorbell, with smart globes you can have them turn on, change colours or flash by setting up simple routines whenever the doorbell is pressed, giving you a visual alert that someone has arrived. Alternatively, you can set your globes to remind you of important events or reminders from your calendar. If you need to leave for an appointment, have your lights flash to remind you to get ready and leave.

Wake up smarter by scheduling your bedroom lights to come on automatically in the morning. If your globes can change colours, you can go one step further and colour-code your automation to let you know how much time you have left to snooze.

Or, you can go one step further and set up your own unique circadian lighting automation. Circadian lighting changes the colour temperature of the light to better represent the time of day and your body’s natural rhythm. After a day in front of a computer you can set your home to a warm glow to help induce relaxation and prepare your body for sleep.

Outdoor lighting can be smart, too! Change the globes over in your exterior lighting and have them turn on automatically at dusk and off again at sunrise, or pair them with a sensor to light up at full brightness if your sensor is triggered. Making it safer for when you arrive home at night or help keep intruders away.

These are just a few of the things you can accomplish with a BrilliantSmart globe or two around your home.

Smart lights need to be connected to a home network via WiFi and can be controlled with your phone or tablet using the free BrilliantSmart app or using Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa to integrate voice control. All you need to do is power on the light, pair it with the BrilliantSmart app, and you’re ready to go.
