5 smart products to connect to your smart lights
Tip 1: connect to an IP camera
Lights that turn on automatically when someone is spotted outside. This is possible if you combine your smart lights with a smart IP camera. You can have all your lights turn on when someone was spotted, for example. The sea of light terrifies burglars. Do you have an IP camera with facial recognition? Have the lights turn on in a regular way when you or a familiar face is spotted. This way, you'll never have to turn on the lights yourself.
Tip 2: connect with a smart thermostat
Connect your lights to a smart thermostat to automate your home. This way, your thermostat will automatically switch to night mode as you turn off the lights at night. Do you have a self-learning thermostat? In that case, the lights also turn on automatically the moment you come home. This is possible because your self-learning thermostat knows when you come home after work. That way, you'll never have to think about turning on the lights or thermostat.
Tip 3: connect to a smart TV
By connecting your smart lights to your television, you'll experience movies much more intensely. This is because the smart lights adjust to what your TV screen displays.

Graphical effects of your favorite games are also strengthened by your lighting.
Tip 4: connect to a smart washing machine

That way, you always know when you need to hang up the laundry. Even if the washing machine is in the attic. For even more convenience, you can also connect the smart light in the attic to your washing machine. This'll make it turn on when then washing machine is done.
Tip 5: connect all your devices

You place this plug in the socket and connect it to a regular device. You can then connect it to your smart lights. As a result, you can control a regular lamp via the app of your smart lighting. Or have the coffee machine switch on as soon as you switch on the lights in the morning. This increases the comfort in your home.
