Use: Your smartphone now allows you to control your light bulbs directly (on, off, intensity adjustment) or rules (eg one at 20h, off at 22h), whether you are at home or not.
Lighting: as indicated by the product file, the light produced is pretty much that of a conventional 60 watt bulb. The life is exceptional: about 25 000 hours (Philips bulbs have a lifespan of 15,000 hours). At the rate of a few hours per day, the cost to use is insignificant.
Product fully developed so even if we regret that integration with IFTTT application is not yet possible (IFTTT, supported by Philips light bulbs, can create much more interesting rules, such as: send an SMS when a bulb goes off, or flashing a light bulb when my name is mentioned on Twitter - the possibilities are truly endless). This integration is however promised although no date is mentioned on the Belkin website.
