There are plenty of smart home, home automation and remote access solutions for your lights on the market, but few are as cool, or affordable, as Emberlight. The entire process is so simple you wouldn’t even need to explain it to your grandmother. Take out your bulb. Screw in Emberlight. Put bulb back. Get Emberlight on your home wifi. Enjoy. What makes it different than the other options? It works with any dimmable light bulb. If you install it in a shaded lamp or an overhead can it won’t be seen. The app can tell you what lights are on or off. You can turn lights off remotely, and even provide temporary access to guests. You can set quick mood presets for your lights. In our books, the coolest feature is the ability to automatically turn lights on or off automatically using Bluetooth proximity. Your friends will think it’s magic.
