Smart Lights 101
Smart lights can be controlled through your Wi-Fi network, through either an app on your smart phone or a voice-controlled assistant like Google Home or Amazon Alexa. You’ll need three things to set-up a smart lighting system: smart light bulbs, a hub, and a working Wi-Fi connection.
How Do I Set Up My Smart Lighting System?
- Install smart light bulbs into your light fixtures.
- Plug the hub into a power socket and hook it up to your router via an ethernet cable. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Download the correct app from the App Store or Google Play Store.
- Add your light fixtures to your app, making sure to name them something you can easily recognize like ‘Bathroom Lights’ or ‘Chandelier.’ You can add up to 50 light bulbs in one household.
Smart Light Bulbs
Smart bulbs work just like your standard ones, but with some extra features like built-in speakers and voice command. They work in existing sockets and come in various types and shapes.
