The Sengled Smart LED PAR38 Bulb includes a built-in motion sensor. For walkways, the Ring Solar Pathlight lights up as someone approaches, and it can be set to trigger other Ring devices, such as spotlights, and can even send motion alerts to your smartphone. If you’re looking for something to light your way to the door, consider a bulb like the Sengled Smart LED PAR38 Bulb, which works like a regular bulb with existing outdoor fixtures but also includes a built-in motion sensor. Smart lighting can automatically illuminate a sidewalk, porch, or hallway so you never have to amble around in the dark again. And in-wall smart switches and dimmers use your home’s existing wiring (although you’ll also need a little DIY know-how).īefore you convert your whole house to smart lighting, first think about where and how you’ll want to use it. Smart fixtures may require modest wiring work. Smart plugs require an existing lamp and an available outlet. For smart bulbs, you need only an existing lamp or fixture. But there are a few differences among these devices. Smart bulbs, smart plugs, smart fixtures, and in-wall smart switches all have similar capabilities, allowing you to control them remotely or to use an app to create Schedules or automated Routines, so they interact with other smart devices (imagine your AC kicking in, the lights coming on, and the door unlocking when you arrive home). But what we really love about smart lighting is how easily it can transform your living space, regardless of your budget or skill level. It’s the one area where you’ll notice an instant upgrade, and yet smart lighting is relatively simple to install and control. Smart lighting is our favorite element to start with when creating a smart home.
