The price of 195 yuan this smart bulbs and HUE comparable?

In the past few years, the modern smart home market is booming, many people have begun to buy more and more smart home devices. And many smart home products are combined with the home security system, and the integration of the platform allows us to go out when more secure. In addition to a variety of door and window sensors and smart sockets, the Piper company recently launched a smart phone called Z-Wave, users can remotely access settings, very worthy of attention.

Design

From the exterior design, Z-Wave really is not simple, when compared with many other products Piper, Z-Wave almost no difference, and more common LED light bulb, it is also lighter in weight, seems to be the perfect fusion to Home Furnishing decoration design.

Z-Wave installation does not require special equipment, any place can use ordinary LED bulbs can be used Z-Wave. Of course, as a LED light source, Z-Wave than traditional incandescent lamp life longer, 3 hours a day can be used under the intensity of 22.8 years. Z-Wave can issue a warm yellow light source, color temperature is about 2700k. And this 9W LED bulb brightness equivalent to 60W incandescent lamp.

Connect

Z-Wave can be used on the ordinary lamp holder, but also can be used in combination with other Piper products, such as outdoor switches to control the Christmas tree lights, etc.. And this time we use Z-Wave in the ordinary living room display. In the download and installation of a good matching App, App quickly detected the Z-Wave bulb, and indicate whether the connection with the Piper device.

performance

First, we look at the output brightness of Z-Wave, Z-Wave default brightness is not high, so if you want to do as reading lighting, but also need to make more adjustments through App. In addition, the App can also set the mood lighting, according to different scenarios can automatically adjust the brightness, while the change of brightness is very soft, will not cause harm to the glasses.

And when the Z-Wave is connected to the Piper platform, it means that we can control the switch through remote control. Not only that, but also on the outside through the App to adjust the brightness of the Z-Wave. The basic characteristics, such as changing the color of the Z-Wave, etc., can be implemented by other control centers. In addition, if the Piper camera with the same time, you can also specify the time to open or close, or when detected in the house when there is an abnormal light automatically.

summary

In terms of price, Z-Wave smart LED bulb with most of the products to the manufacturer's recommendations for $29.99 (about 195 yuan), which is unable to adjust color and provide the base of the premise, than the PHILPS Hue smart bulb a lot cheaper. Of course, how will Z-Wave with more intelligent Home Furnishing equipment platform integration is the user issues to consider, after all LED smart bulbs as a simple function, only through the intelligent mobile phone remote control seems to be far from enough.

However, this simple shape, but also more suitable for the pursuit of a simple style of decoration, after all, can easily turn off the lights of other rooms, but also allows us to feel the convenience of life.
