Smart LEDs: Easy entry into the connected home

[hasan018542]

More and more consumers are discovering smart home technology for themselves and equipping their homes with the appropriate devices and tools. From smart surveillance cameras, thermostats and roller shutters to intelligent coffee machines and refrigerators. A particularly popular option is also intelligent lighting, which can be implemented relatively easily and inexpensively in apartments or houses using smart LEDs.

What is possible with Smart LEDs?
LEDs are now used in the vast majority of households, as conventional lebanon gambling data light bulbs have not been allowed to be sold for years, at least in the EU. Smart LEDs are hardly distinguishable from normal LED bulbs on the outside, but inside there is a radio chip and control electronics that enable much more than just switching on and off. With the corresponding app, smart LEDs can be:

switch on / off individually or as a group
dim individually or as a group
Change solid color
different color gradients depending on the model
depending on the model, change from cold white light color to warm white light color
What technical requirements do Smart LEDs need?
Since smart LED bulbs are available in all common socket types, installing smart LEDs is as simple as replacing a lamp. Integration into the home network is possible using appropriate protocols - there are different standards or radio standards. The most common standards with and without a hub include:

– ZigBee / Z-Wave

ZigBee is a wireless standard offered by several manufacturers of smart LEDs, including Osram, Phillips, Hama and IKEA. To implement smart lighting with ZigBee, you need a separate smart home hub into which other smart devices with the same standard can be integrated. A similar alternative is the Z-Wave wireless standard. In general, according to the guide from www.gluehbirne.de, LEDs are more suitable as lighting sources than many other variants, mainly due to their higher energy efficiency and longer lifespan.
