As you know, human activity is regulated with the help of light. At the same time, it is easier to get up with it, easier to fall asleep without it - and sleep is healthier.
Why not control the lighting using a computer or smartphone? Philips became the pioneer in this area, offering lamps with remote control.
Today, Xiaomi occupies one of the leading positions in the market with its huge range of a wide variety of smart devices for the home, including many lighting gadgets. Let's try to look at some of the company's solutions.
Do-it-yourself smart lamp
The biggest problems with smart lighting are the complexity of integration and the lack of ready-made solutions. Do you want a smart sconce, a night light, a chandelier? Isn’t there a suitable one in the catalogue? The problem can be easily solved with the help of Aqara Xiaomi smart switches.
At first glance, this is an ordinary switch built into the wall. They are similar to the most common switches: single or double. The visible difference is that they need a square box, rather than the usual round one.
After standard installation, each Xiaomi Agara switch can be seen in the Mi Home application, which is familiar to fans of Xiaomi home appliances. It even has a special plugin. It can be used to turn a switch on or off, or to close or open a circuit.
In addition to this, each switch can be controlled by any other logical device of the company - a button, wireless switch, cube, etc. It is curious that among the scenarios for a double switch, the actions are separate for each of the keys.
Xiaomi + Philips = smart light
Philips and Xiaomi have made a revolutionary product - a smart ceiling lamp. What's innovative about it? The device can be integrated into both the Xiaomi ecosystem and the Philips environment. Use whatever you want!
In addition, the new product received the capabilities of two systems at once. It is better, brighter, and has more flexible settings compared to all existing solutions on the market - primarily Xiaomi itself.
The closed design allows installation even outdoors and in the bathroom, and the compact size allows wall installation. The lamp can be controlled from the application or from a proprietary Philips remote control (you can increase or decrease the brightness, as well as change the color to the blue or yellow spectrum).
Cheap and versatile
For those who do not want to change their current lamps, the Xiaomi Philips collaboration has offered a separate option. Perhaps it will suit almost everyone, since it is the simplest and cheapest LED smart lamp on the market: a Xiaomi/Philips smart light bulb for a standard base E27.
Although it looks like a simple LED lamp, there is a lot of interesting stuff hidden inside. Firstly, despite its small dimensions, its power is an impressive 7 W. Secondly, the lamp can change the brightness in the range from 3000 to 5700K - using the slider in MiHome or with using ready-made presets for every occasion, which are activated depending on the signals of other smart sensors Houses.
