The company Brilliant aims to turn your home into a smart home by changing only the simple lighting switches of your rooms.
The solutions you have so far to turn your home into a "smart home", i.e. a home that will offer comfort, security and at the same time energy management, require you to install internal wiring and enough money in Appliances, controllers, and microswitches. No one has thought until now that you can gain electronic control over your lighting, as well as other systems in your home, simply by changing the light switches.
Η Brilliant suggests that you change your room's classical lighting switches and put in place mini smart hubs with 5 inch touch screen LCD screen, Wi-Fi, motion-sensing and voice-controlled. These switches, except that they can turn the lights on or off, can also act as a control panel for having you connected to your home, bringing you security, music, lighting and communication all under one control.
Unlike more sophisticated connected "smart home" home systems, Brilliant manufacturers claim that replacing a light switch does not require new cables and only takes about five minutes. Then you can simply swipe up and down on the touch screen to turn them on or off, or you can find the exact brightness you want through dimming.
Οι διακόπτες Brilliant Control περιλαμβάνουν επίσης μια κάμερα και ένα μικρόφωνο, και έτσι παρέχουν ενδοεπικοινωνία βίντεο μεταξύ πολλαπλών μονάδων. Οι displays they can have a personalized background that matches the decor of the room, and not just be a white switch.
They have potential connections with Sonos, Nest, Phillips Hue, SmartThings, Ring and other notable “smart home” systems. The central system Brilliant could simplify managing a connected home without having to install a bunch of separate apps on your smartphone.
The Brilliant Control switches are scheduled to come to the stores at the end of this year, with the first 10.000 pre-set units released at the end of the summer.
