Smart home

Lighting is an essential part of our homes and it hasn't changed much since it was first invented. The Philips Hue Starter Kit aims to redefine the way we experience and interact with light. I never thought one box could transform my home in such a meaningful way. These lights are capable of providing convenience and entertainment in ways that I didn't think was possible.

I have always thought smart home gadgets are a bit gimmicky, until I broke down and installed a few. I am now a convert as they are not only practical but so convenient they can actually improve your quality of life. For instance, I have a keyless lock in my home so I never worry about carrying around keys that I can lose. If I have friends or family that arrive when I am not there, I can let them in remotely until I show up. It’s great!   HUE is Philips line of smart home products that is all about lighting that can be controlled using your Smartphone or tablet. It brings the Internet of Things to reality and there are so many excellent ways to use HUE lighting products. Let’s explore just a few to give you an idea how they can improve life at home.
