Smart
home lighting is a growing field, with entrants including Philips and LIFX,
but one other new contender has a different approach that might appeal more to
some. The Nanjing IOT sensor Technology, connected to and controlled
by a central hub via ZigBee tech, to provide remote dimming and timer all
lighting systems in your house. Of course, you can DIY the linkage between your
lights and IR motion detector, so when sb pass, the light can turn of
automatically, and you can also make a lighting scene to control your lights,
one touch to control all the lights turn on or off.
The Wulian offers remote control
of your lights, but that’s just the beginning. It also has geofencing so that
lights can be set to turn on or off when you enter or leave the house; there’s
an wireless light detector that can tell when you turn on the TV to
automatically dim your lights for improved viewing conditions; the same wireless
light sensor detects fading natural light and can tell when the sun comes up in
the morning to control light levels. Random scheduling will simulate being home
even when you’re away, and you can use lights to let you know a timer has gone
off, which is handy for cooking, for instance.
The system’s components are nicely designed, and the project
creators say you shouldn’t need outside help for installation. Wulian’s smart
socket also measures and records energy usage, and provides remote access
that you can share with family members and friends. The in-wall modules look a
little more complex in terms of installation, but they should work in your
existing receptacles behind the light switches you already have according to wulian
products’ manual, which means no new holes required.
As the connected home and home automation space gets more
crowded, it’s interesting to see the different approaches companies are taking
to solve essentially the same problems. Wulian home automation system has
plenty of merit, but it’s competing with some heavy hitters already in the
mainstream market including Control 4, Lutron, Crestron etc line. With ZigBee
and other wireless tech, wulian must be the leader of wireless home automation
leader in the world, so this is also a good chance for you to take part in.
