The benefits of lighting control via app and voice control

Personalised adjustment via app: Apps make it easy to tailor lighting moods to your personal preferences, from brightness to colour temperature. This enhances comfort and overall wellbeing at home. 

Voice control: Integration with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant allows you to control lighting without touching a switch. Switching lights on or off, dimming them or changing the colour can all be done using simple voice commands. 

Energy efficiency and sustainability: Smart LED-based lighting systems use significantly less energy than conventional bulbs and help reduce energy costs. They also offer a longer lifespan, which means less waste.

Lighting control via app 

Does this sound familiar? You are on your way to work when you realise you may have left the hallway lights on. Or you are relaxing on the sofa in the evening and would like to dim the lighting, but you are far too tired to get up. In these moments, a Smart Home offers a simple solution: lighting control via app. 

  • In a Gira KNX Smart Home, this is done via the Gira Smart Home App. When combined with the Gira S1 security module, you can check the lighting throughout your home even when you are away. 

  • In the Gira System 3000, mobile control works via a Bluetooth app. Changing light colours, setting schedules or creating scenes can all be done conveniently from the sofa using your smartphone or tablet. 

Lighting control via voice command 

You simply tell your home what to do, quite literally. All you need is Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, and in a KNX Smart Home either the Gira X1 server or the Gira HomeServer. Once set up, all functions can be activated or deactivated using common voice commands via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. These include: 

  • Switching lights on and off 

  • Adjusting light colour 

  • Adjusting colour temperature 

  • Calling up lighting scenes
