Smart bulbs

Smart LED bulbs offer multiple advantages over standard LED bulbs. Here are some of the most important:

• Connectivity: Smart LED bulbs have wireless connectivity, which can be via Bluetooth, WIFI or Zigbee (depends on the model). This allows you to create a network within your home or business and even connect to other smart devices.
• Remote control: Being able to connect via Bluetooth or WIFI, you can turn on, turn off, regulate the intensity and change the light color from your smartphone or compatible device. Even when you're away from home.
• Personalization: Smart LED bulbs offer a wide variety of customization options. You can create the atmosphere you want in your home, change the color of the light and create scenes depending on the time of day or activity.
• Scheduling: You can schedule times for smart bulbs to turn on or off automatically. This is very useful to simulate presence when you are not at home for work or vacation. They also help you save on your electricity bill by turning off lights when you don't need them.
• Home automation integration: Smart LED bulbs can be easily integrated with other home automation systems in your home, such as voice assistants (eg Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant) or smart home applications (Apple Homekit). This gives you the ability to create complex automations or control light bulbs with your voice.

Generally yes, they are available in different sizes and standard sockets (GU10, E27, E14, etc..), which means that they adapt to most traditional lamps and systems.

However, it is advisable to pay attention to the product description to verify if it fits.

If you are going to control the smart bulbs via Bluetooth on your smartphone, tablet or compatible device, you do not need any additional device.

However, if you want to expand its use by creating a home automation network and linking them to sensors, controls, etc., you may need a bridge to have full control.
