How does smart lighting work

Smart lighting is trending and has become an indispensable part of today's society. More and more companies are opting for this intelligent form of lighting. This way, you can easily control all lighting via a tablet, phone or other electronics. But how does a smart lamp actually work? We will explain it to you.

What is smart lighting

Smart lighting is an innovative and convenient way to control your lamps. The lamps have a built-in chip so that they can make wireless contact with other devices. Each lamp can be connected to an app, smart home assistant or other smart accessories. This allows you to easily switch lamps on and off, change color and control them remotely. You can also connect smart lamps to various devices, such as sensors, switches and alarm systems. Also biodynamic lighting is a great example of smart lighting. With this you can simulate daylight in your workspace.

The possibilities of smart lighting

Smart lighting offers many possibilities: from voice-controlled operation to setting time schedules.

Making lighting work voice-controlled

Control your lighting using voice? You can! But how does a smart lamp work with voice? You use the app to set which voice command a device should respond to. In addition to an app, you can also make the lighting work together with other devices, such as Amazon Alexa or Google Nest. “Hey Google, do you want to turn on the lights?” And voilà: your business space is illuminated.

Setting schedules

Want to turn on your lights when it gets dark? You can also do this easily with smart lighting. Using a schedule, you set times at which the business lighting automatically switches on or off.

Setting light colors

The light color can also be easily set and adjusted with smart lighting. An important meeting during the day? Then set the lighting to a bright color. A staff party in the evening? Then choose to dim the light. Not sure which light colors are appropriate for which room? No problem, Firefly can advise you on this. Would you rather have a lighting planmade for the room you want to light? That is also possible.

Connect multiple smart lamps or devices

If you opt for smart lighting, you can connect lamps to each other and to different devices. You can even create groups. This allows you to use lighting even smarter. For example, you can turn all the lights in your office space on or off at once.

Dim lighting

Do you want a little brighter light? Or a little less bright? With smart lighting, you can easily dim your lighting.

The technology behind smart lighting

There are several ways to connect smart lighting to your app, device or other accessories.

Zigbee

You can connect your smart lighting to Zigbee. This allows your smart devices to communicate with each other, allowing you to manage them all in one place. For example, connect lighting in your business premises to sensors.

The Smart Fly

You can also connect smart lighting to the Smart Fly. The Smart Fly is our wireless solution for controlling lighting. Not only that, you can also use it to connect other devices, such as alarm systems, sensors and switches. All you need is mains power. Then you can control the smart lighting and all connected devices via our building management system.
