Two years after the release of their first smart home platform, Wink launches a new hub, providing extensive features. It has never been easier to bring together smart products in one simple experience, while keeping freedom of choice: almost all manufacturers of smart devices (bulbs, thermostats, cameras, smoke detectors…) can be controlled via a single app.

At first sight, LuDela looks like an ordinary wax candle with an ordinary flame. But several sensors are hidden inside, which turns it into a smart and wireless candle. It can be lit and extinguished via the user’s smartphone, thanks to a dedicated mobile app. It is even possible to select the desired light intensity and to create an ambiance by controlling several candles.

If you find the smart light bulbs too expensive or complicated to install, Emberlight might be a solution that suits your needs. This socket can simply turn a regular bulb (halogen, LFC or LED) into a connected one. Your light can then be remotely controlled via a dedicated mobile app, without using the wall switch.

The smartphone addicts and mobile app lovers won’t be able to resist. Connected lamps Dotti and Notti, manufactured by Witti, are not made to simply light a room. Their primary function is to use light to let you know when you receive a phone call, a message or a notification: a not-that-useful but irresistible gadget that will make a perfect gift for Christmas.

Smart light would be nothing without the numerous mobile apps that have been developed to monitor connected bulbs, switches and other appliances. By allowing us to connect our lighting systems to other online services or smart items, they offer countless possibilities which can either make our lives easier or add fun to it.
