Best Ways For Connecting Smart Lights To The Internet!
The new
generation likes to live a smart life. And it is even completely correct
because smart living makes our life easy. When it comes to lights, people think
about going for 'smart lights' only. Smart lights play an important role in
their life. It can be observed from the fact that most people never shift from
smart lights to normal lights.
It is worth
noting that not all of them have the same features. In the market, customers
get a lot of choices for smart bulbs as smart bulbs are available in many of
the varieties and connect in different ways too.
There are three
methods used for connecting a smart bulb to the internet. They are as follows-
1. Using a smart home hub
2. Connecting to Wi-Fi
3. Using Z-Wave or/and ZigBee
Different methods for pairing smart lights to the
internet
1. Using A
Smart Home Hub
These are the
smart lights that need a 'smart home hub' to work properly. It is rarely
available in the market. One of the best parts is that many of the smart bulb
manufacturers provide their hub for their bulbs, but it is not compulsory to
use as these smart bulbs can even be used with other hubs.
●
We can't neglect the fact that using smart bulbs on another makers
hub can create issues some of the times. Such as it can face problems while working.
2. Connecting
To Wi-Fi
You should
always prefer smart bulbs that get connected to your Wi-Fi network.
●
Luckily, these bulbs do not need a hub.
They work
simply the way like the rest of the Wi-Fi products. You just need to put it and
then connect it to the Wi-Fi network.
I recommend you
to go for Wi-Fi bulbs as they are a great option but only when a just a couple
of bulbs need to be installed at your home. Otherwise, your Wi-Fi network can
get crowded.
●
In the market, there are a lot of options available for Wi-Fi
bulbs. Some of them are- LIFX & Flux etc.
3. Using
Z-Wave or ZigBee
It gets
connected to infinite third-party smart home hubs which use the Z-Wave and/or
ZigBee wireless protocols. It makes a good addition to your smart home hub
without making you face any type of problems. You can pick either of the two
and connect your bulb to the internet.
