Consider this scenario: it’s movie night at home, and you ask your smart home hub to dim all the lights to establish the scene. Consider this scenario: you’re tiptoeing out of your child’s room after they’ve finally fallen asleep, and you want to lower the lights quietly, so you press one button on your smartphone after you’re safely down the hallway. You can perform all of these things and more with a Wi-Fi smart LED strip light in your connected home!

Why Should I Upgrade My Home’s Lighting to Smart Lights?

Smart lights are beneficial for a variety of reasons, one of which is that they help you save energy in your house. A Wi-Fi-linked smart bulb not only uses less energy than a typical light bulb but also allows you to create lighting schedules and have them adapt automatically depending on outside illumination conditions.

Don’t know where to begin? Don’t worry. We’ll walk you through all you need to know about smart light bulbs and other smart light features in this post.

1. Don’t forget to tell your smart light bulbs what to do.

You have complete control over smart lights. The majority of smart light bulbs are designed to operate with smart home hubs such as Amazon Echo or Google Home. So, using the compatible software, you can switch off the kitchen lights or dim the living room lights with only your voice or a simple push of a button on your smartphone.

You may also organize your smart lights into rooms or zones. You won’t have to instruct Alexa to turn on each bulb and switch in the living room that way. “Alexa, turn on the lights in the living room,” you may say instead.

2. Establish a smart lighting schedule.

Say goodbye to snoozing alarms and returning home to a gloomy house. A smart bulb, such as a comes with an app that allows you to create a light schedule. Set a timer for when you want to switch your lights on or off, change the color, or dim and brighten them.

Are you going on vacation or a business trip and will be away from home for a while? Keep your home safe with vacation or away modes, which enable you to program your lights to turn on and off at random times, giving the impression that someone is home.

3. Add smart motion sensors. 

No more groping in the dark for the light switch; let your smart lights guide you. Motion sensors are available in certain smart lighting systems, allowing you to personalize where, when, and how your lights switch on in response to movement. You can even customize which light setting is activated when you step into particular rooms using the software that came with your Wi-Fi smart LED strip light. Some sensors detect whether it’s day or night and alter the brightness of your lights appropriately.
