Fantastic grouping and customization options.I’m still exploring the capabilities and playing with the set-up of these switches but so far, I LOVE them! What I Like: The motion detection is reliable, but I needed to turn it off for my bedroom controller because it would wake the display when I tossed and turned at night.Īnother feature is an integrated alarm clock. The switches have integrated light and motion detection to vary the screen brightness and wake the display.
Should the switch be installed in a room where privacy is warranted, I tiny slide-out cover can block the camera. I despise yelling across my household so just being able to talk to someone in another room is priceless. At first, I thought this was a gimmicky feature, but I quickly learned how valuable this can be. The switches also have a built-in video intercom and announcement capabilities. The only caveat I discovered is that camera access is not available in the smartphone app. Occasionally, when my screen saver would come on, the photo color was off, but this is certainly no deal-breaker. Once this is finished, the app duplicates the look and feel of the switches, synchronized the names and configurations between switches and allows custom “screen saver” pictures to be loaded. I downloaded and installed the app which requires authentication codes for each switch. The system can also import scenes from partner services to simplify and preserve any favorite you may already be using. Scenes can be created to turn on or off devices, set brightness levels and implement timers. A two-finger swipe turns on or off all of the lights in the room, in my case, lights on WeMo modules. An upward or downward swipe with a single finger turns the light connected to the switch on or off. To control the lights, Brilliant has created a slick interface. I added cameras, locks and a button to turn all of the lights in my house off –this is a great button to have if you have residents in your home that routinely leave all the lights on making your home look like a cruise ship. The main screen defaults to lighting control only, but three more shortcuts can be added. With my Amazon account linked, voice commands can be used to control the switches and brightness. I like having Alexa built-in, but the tiny internal speaker is not terribly loud. If I select “Living Room” I can turn the light on, view the camera, or unlock the front door directly from the Brilliant switch. This is especially effective in keeping things intuitive. In another, I created a group ‘Garage” that has a WeMo smart switch module and a Ring camera. The control system allows grouping devise into “rooms.” For example, I grouped the Brilliant switch together with a WeMo light switch to create a “bedroom” group. The on-screen keyboard works well and any smart-phone user will find the interface familiar. Next, I took some time to label all the devices I would be controlling. I had no difficulties linking my accounts. Linking the smart switches to accounts was simple.
In my case, I was able to add multiple Belkin WeMo switches, all eight of my Ring cameras, and three Yale August locks. The system then allows the user to add home integration to the configuration. With the screen in place, the operating system walks through connecting to your Wi-fi, naming “rooms” and adding home automation devices. Voice control Ability through Alexa skill, or Google ActionsĪfter installation and power restored, a button for each light can be used to test operation prior to snapping the screen assembly into place.Available colors: White, Silver, Ivory, Cool Grey, Black, Light Almond.Onboard Sensors: Motion PIR Sensor, Temperature Sensor, Ambient Light Sensor.
