Smart Switches
Smart switches are still a light switch, but with advanced features that help automate your home. They look like traditional switches and plug into the same spaces as traditional outlets, except:
- They have radio wave capabilities, allowing them to connect to a nearby wireless network and become part of the IoT, the “internet of Things.” This precisely makes the devices “smart”, offering a variety of options including mobile phone applications or voice controls.
- Its design tends to be a little more complicated. Some may have additional buttons for more specific light control, while others may come with additional sensors or light indicators.
Smart switches are a good solution to update current light switches, the ones you use every day. They differ from smart lamps, which use smart plugs. Smart switches usually cost around € 14: You may not want (or need) to upgrade all the switches in your home, although there are probably more than a few that you use very frequently – these switches are excellent candidates for a “smart upgrade.”
Benefits of using smart switches
To get a better idea of how smart switches work, let's look at some of the benefits and features they offer. Keep in mind that other smart devices, such as light bulbs, also offer similar features, but smart switches tend to be a more cost-effective solution in the long run.
