A constantly lit room
Do you have a room in your home where someone (or maybe everyone) keeps forgetting to turn off the lights? Whether it is a chamber, cellar or corridor, smart lighting can do something about it. Just install a smart bulb in a chandelier or ceiling light and point the motion sensor towards the door. When the door opens and the sensor detects movement, it sends a message to the bulb to turn on. For some lights, you can also set specific parameters regarding the duration of lighting. You can also set the opposite scenario – if the sensor does not detect movement for a certain period of time, the light will automatically turn off. Pro For the same purpose, you can connect the smart bulb to a magnetic door sensor. When the sensor detects that the door is opened (the magnets are disconnected), the bulb will turn on. Once the door is closed (the magnets are connected), the bulb will turn off.

When getting up is spoiled by darkness
Getting up in the morning is in itself unpleasant, but it's even worse when it's still dark outside and you need to get moving. In this case, set smart bulb or smart lamp on the bedside table to turn on at a certain time and day – whether it gradually increases the light intensity from minima, or it just started to dim. If you buy smart lighting, compatible with the platform HomeKit, you have even more customization options available, and you can control everything easily and conveniently from the native Home app on your iPhone.

The ideal light temperature for every time of day
White light promotes concentration, so it is more suitable for daytime. On the contrary, in the evening, dimmed yellow light is more suitable, which induces a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Smart bulbs can do both. Setting different lighting modes is the basics, but smart lighting can do so much more. During the day, the intensity and color of the light can change continuously and adapt to the sunrise and sunset. You can also adjust the intensity and color of the light, as well as the duration of the lighting, to your circadian rhythm - see what a beneficial effect this change will have on your sleep.

Automatic lighting in corridors and stairs
Do you have a long hallway or staircase at home? These are ideal places for a combination of a motion sensor and a smart bulb or LED strip . As soon as you enter the hallway, the sensor detects movement and turns on the light. In addition, you can set in the app how long the light should be on, what time of day it should be turned on, and even whether it should shine white during the day and yellow in the evening or at night. Smart lighting is an ideal choice for places where children go to the toilet at night or follow you to the bedroom. But adults will also quickly like this automation.
