Leader Home Systems for Philips Hue to present at the inaugural Smart Home
Summit (http://www.smarthomesummit.net) in
London on
29th and 30th
September 2015
Smart connected devices are changing the world as we know it.
The Internet of Things is making the home an intelligent,
responsive environment that's more enjoyable, convenient and
efficient. At the heart of the smart home is connected lighting.
Royal Philips, the global leader in lighting, will share its
vision of the impact of connected lighting in the smart home and
the boundless experiences it can deliver at the Smart Home
Summit.
As host sponsors, Philips will explain the birth of Hue, the world's first internet connected
light bulb, and why there is much more to lighting than
illumination. Philips will also divulge how they are taking
connected living to the next level by collaborating with the
world's leading companies to accelerate the application of lighting
in the development of the smart home market.
Sridhar Kumaraswamy, Business
Leader Home Systems for Philips Hue comments: "The Internet of
Things is all about using technology as an enabler to create
meaningful experiences for consumers. Philips Hue has become a cornerstone of the connected
home by offering interoperability with other home devices to
deliver the best possible at home experience. We are committed to
pushing the boundaries of light and unlocking its full potential
within the smart home."
Launched in 2012, Philips Hue marked a new era in home lighting,
reinventing how consumers experience and engage with light in their
homes. It can enhance everyday moments in the home, deliver peace
of mind when away from home and ultimately provide limitless new
experiences through more than 300 third-party apps. Apps have been
developed that enable people to experience light in new and
innovative ways. From washing the walls with the dominant colours
on screen as they watch a movie, to creating the ultimate immersive
gaming experience where lights react to real time game play, to
changing colour with the beat of a song, or even syncing to a
fitness wristband so light can indicate when a personal goal has
been reached.
The extensive Philips Hue connected ecosystem includes portable
lamps such as Philips Hue Go, dual-lighted lamps such as Philips
Hue Beyond, control devices such as Philips Hue tap and Apple Watch
as well as bulbs and spotlights. Philips Hue lets you enjoy endless new
experiences.
