What can I do with my smart bulbs?
Well, to begin with, we already know some of the benefits that smart bulbs have compared to the traditional bulb:
- Energy saving.
- Much longer lifespan.
- They don't heat up.
And now comes the fun, you can regulate them to your liking and create lighting environments depending on the situation. We explain some examples to you.
Time to read and relax
If it's time to sit down and read a good book, warm colors (yellow-orange) are going to be perfect for you. As if you were sitting in front of the fireplace.
Home cinema
No problem, to enjoy a good movie, reduce the intensity to a minimum and give it a bluish or greenish touch. You'll love it.
Do you have to study?
You need maximum luminosity and concentration. An intense white light is the solution.
Party with friends!
And why not a mix? You can program your bulbs so that they change the tone and even so that they look to the rhythm of the music!
You can try as many combinations as you want depending on the situation.
More ideas to get the most out of your bulbs
- By being able to control them from your mobile, it does not matter if you forget the lights on because you can turn them off at any time. What's more, you can even schedule automatic GPS shutdown. When your phone moves away from your house, the lights will automatically turn off.
- You can have the lights come on automatically when you get home and greet your virtual assistant (Alexa - Google Home). In this way, for example, you can configure that when you enter the house and greet him, he turns on the light in the living room.
- If you go on vacation, you can program the bulbs so that they turn on automatically at certain times, so that it creates the feeling that you have not left and thus prevent possible theft.
- You can program specific lighting conditions according to the section of the day. For example, if you want the light to be dim and warm when entering the bathroom at night to prepare for rest or if you want it to be white and intense in the morning to activate yourself.
Control the heating
Is the heating in your house electric? If so, you are in luck. From now on you will be able to control it from your mobile phone.
Your house awaits you warm
It is common that when we go home in winter, as soon as we walk through the door we turn on the radiators to heat our home. But what if this could be done for a little while before arriving? It is as simple as activating the heating routine on the phone, which will turn on the radiators and make sure that when you enter your house it is already at a comfortable temperature.
And in the bathroom?
Imagine this situation: you get out of bed and go to the bathroom to shower, which is cold because logically you are not going to leave the radiator on all night.
Now imagine again this other situation when you wake up, in which your personal assistant (Alexa - Google Home) has been turning on the light gradually increasing the intensity so that you wake up gently, it has automatically turned on the bathroom radiator in advance so that it is at a comfortable temperature and is coordinated so that when you get out of the shower you already have the hot coffee or kettle ready to serve while you are telling you the news of the day and the traffic situation.
This situation is not science fiction. It is a very simple automation to achieve just by installing smart bulbs and plugs linked to your personal assistant.
Good morning!
Noooo, that damn alarm clock rings again...
That phrase sounds familiar to you, right? The abrupt sound of the alarm clock that takes us out of our placid sleep to go to work is anything but pleasant. We cannot help you stop going to work, but we can give you some advice so that waking up is not so expensive.
Gradual sunrise
Our brain is not programmed to wake up suddenly. As we all know, sleep is made up of various phases, the REM phase (light sleep) and the NREM phase (deeper sleep). The change between phases takes approximately 20 minutes. Has it happened to you that the alarm clock rings and you find yourself stunned? It is normal for this to happen in the deep sleep phase, so what we can do to avoid that is to plan a gradual awakening, which ensures that our brain is activated little by little.
And how can I get that?
The key is in the light. Light is a determining factor in the transition from sleep to wakefulness. It is as if we said a switch that tells our biological clock that the time has come to start the day. We can play with it in a simple way, simply by programming our bulbs so that they start to shine half an hour before the time we want to get up.
First, it will start shining very, very soft and, little by little and gradually, the intensity will increase, as if we were simulating a natural sunrise.
And it is very simple to configure: it can be done easily from the app or simply by telling your virtual assistant (Alexa / Google Home) that you want to wake up by increasing the intensity of the light gradually.
Give it a try and enjoy waking up in a good mood!
