"Smart lighting is one of the most useful and enjoyable smart home upgrades you can make. The convenience of turning lights on and off with a voice command or having them come on at precisely the right brightness when you walk into a room, adjusted for the time of day, is a huge quality-of-life upgrade that you can't truly appreciate until you try it."
"The costs of smart LED bulbs, fixtures, and accessories, such as switches, are starting to come down, just as compatibility across smart home platforms and smartphones is going up - thanks to the Matter smart home standard. All this means it's easier than ever to add some smarts to your lighting. Here are a few of my favorite experiences and features that smart lighting can add to your home, along with tips on how to integrate them into your space."
"In my home, I set the majority of my smart lights to use Apple's Home's Adaptive Lighting. This feature automatically adjusts the temperature of their white light throughout the day to mimic natural daylight: cooler and brighter light in the morning to help me wake up, shifting to warmer, more relaxing tones in the evening to help me wind down."
Smart lighting improves convenience and ambiance by enabling voice control, automated on/off, and context-aware brightness and color adjustments. Falling prices for smart LED bulbs, fixtures, and accessories make adoption more affordable. Wider device compatibility and smartphone support are increasing thanks to the Matter smart home standard. Changing the color temperature of white light can improve daily environments by mimicking natural daylight, with cooler, brighter mornings and warmer, more relaxing evenings. Apple's Adaptive Lighting automates these shifts when paired with a Home hub (Apple TV, HomePod, or HomePod Mini) and compatible lights, controlled from an iPhone or iPad. Adaptive Lighting runs in the background without user-created scenes.
