Smart lighting -
how it works

With smart lighting, you can regulate the brightness of your lights automatically, save energy, and make your life more comfortable. Whether you're a beginner or a tech pro, find out how you can easily manage smart home lighting.

What is smart lighting?

Imagine you come home and the light switches on automatically, exactly in the brightness and light color that you like best. Or you are lying comfortably on the couch and can dim the light of the ceiling spotlights by voice command without getting up.

This is possible with smart lighting. You don't just turn the light on and off with a switch - you control it using an app, remote control, or voice command. This allows you to adjust the brightness, change the color temperature from daylight white to warm white, or even create lighting scenes with different lights. Smart lighting puts your home in the best light - simply and easily.

Advantages of smart room lighting

Control via app

With smart lighting, you can control your light remotely via an app on your smartphone or tablet - whether from the couch or on the move. This gives you full control and flexibility at all times.

Voice control

With voice assistants, you can also control your light by voice command. This is particularly useful if you don't have a hand free.

Smart schedules

With Shelly, you can create individual schedules. This allows the light to switch on or off automatically at certain times, for example when you come home.

Security

You can control the lighting while you are out and about. This allows you to simulate that your home is occupied, which deters burglars. Motion sensors in dark areas such as corridors or stairs can also provide additional security.

Save energy

Smart lamps are energy-efficient and adapt to your daily routine. This allows you to reduce energy consumption and save costs.

How the smart lighting works

Smart lighting systems work wirelessly and receive their control commands via radio. Usually, Bluetooth or WLAN is used for this. Although Bluetooth is very easy to use, it has a limited range, which means that you can only control lamps in your vicinity. This is why systems such as Shelly rely on WLAN to enable more comprehensive control. An additional hub is not necessary. You can control your lighting directly via your home network, no matter where you are. Operation is convenient via app or integration into smart home systems such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to control the light by voice command.
