A smart lighting system combines compatible lights and controls so brightness, color, timing, or scenes can be adjusted more conveniently. The system may be as simple as a wireless remote and controller or may include Wi-Fi, an app, and a supported voice assistant.
Core components
- Switches control power to a compatible circuit.
- Dimmers adjust brightness for supported loads.
- LED controllers manage single-color, CCT, RGB, RGBW, or addressable strips.
- Remotes and apps provide convenient control interfaces.
Automation
Compatible products may support schedules and scenes such as Movie, Sleep, or Away modes. Availability depends on the exact product and platform.
Build from compatibility
Start with voltage, load type, wiring, and protocol. Then choose products that explicitly support the experience you want.
