Latest addition to smart home lighting is from none other than Nokia, in collaboration with Smartlabs (Insteon’s parent company).
Nokia Smart Lighting devices operate on a dual mesh network that uses both your home’s electrical wiring and—to provide redundancy—a proprietary long-range wireless network (using unlicensed spectrum in the sub-gigahertz range, similar to Z-Wave). This gives the wireless network longer range.
Nokia Smart Lighting switches and outlets work with (and from):
- Any lighting fixture – dimmable or on/off, adjusting each for perfect brightness.
- Any type of bulb – LED, incandescent, halogen or fluorescent.
- Any wiring configuration – one switch or grouped switches.
- Any location – at home, in the car or on vacation with Android and iOS apps, using voice assistants, or with a touch of a button or turn of a dial.
- Any preference – use as a standard switch or go smart with Google Assistant or Amazon
