    Digital Technology For A More Comfortable Life 

    It is so much easier today to order a product on the internet via your smartphone, than it is to go to a store. Digitization should be a simple process.
    Ever since the first lockdown, the digital world has permeated our daily lives. Just remember, not only could we stay entertained with new apps such as TikTok, but we were also able to keep ordering our favorite items from our computers, tablets or indeed our smartphones. 

    According to a recently published study by Vision Direct*, “the average adult spends 34 years of their life looking at screens”. These devices have such a strong hold on our lives that we often feel as if our smartphone was grafted to our palm.

    Digitization within our homes

    Within a house or an apartment, digital components aimed at making its occupants’ lives easier are not uncommon. From surveillance cameras that allow you to monitor your home in real time directly from your smartphone, to connected speakers that can tell jokes as well as play music: home is an increasingly digitized space.

    SMART AND GREEN lights are also operable from your smartphone or tablet. Simply install an app to remotely manage the various parameters of your LED design lamp. The goal is to provide the user with a simple way to change the light color or intensity without having to physically reach for the lamp. With just a few clicks, you can set up lighting units in groups and manage them all simultaneously. A very convenient feature when organizing receptions and similar events.

    Using the Smart and Green app to remotely control a light fixture relies on Bluetooth Mesh technology. This technology will allow users to digitize their home with a specific goal in mind: to facilitate their daily life without compromising their health with technologies that can sometimes be considered too harmful and too intrusive. Respect towards individuals and their privacy are key aspects of Smart and Green’s vision. 

    What We Can Expect From Digital Home Technology

    In the field of digital, we know one thing for sure: it is constantly evolving. This truth is all the more confirmed with the health crisis we are currently facing which drives us towards digitization. Be it for consumer or work purposes, our screens have become our daily companions. It goes without saying: our future will be connected. Tomorrow’s homes will be more than just a place of belonging, they will also be functional, evolving, and connected.

    Imagine a house equipped with a standard mailbox that divides into a mail compartment and a refrigerated box to receive food ordered directly from your phone. We could also imagine a solar bench spreading light waves allowing you to dry yourself in just a few minutes as soon as you get out of your bath or shower. 

    The possibilities are endless and should you be interested in experiencing such a house, know that it already exists. 
    Your appointment with the future will take place in Brussels, Belgium. The ultra connected home, known as Living Tomorrow, features futuristic technological innovations, some of which were mentioned in the previous paragraph.

    Learn how to control your lights thanks to the innovative Bluetooth Mesh technology and Smart and Green app!

    A Little History…

    During the Middle Ages, people used the timeless candle for lighting until the arrival of the oil lamp in the 1780s. By definition, the oil lamp, as its name indicates, is a lamp whose fuel is oil. In those days, animal fat was mostly used, such as whale oil, although vegetable and mineral oil could also be used. During the centuries that followed, new lighting processes were introduced, including the petroleum lamp and the electroluminescent lamp. Today, there are many ways to light a room.

    We are increasingly striving to illuminate in an environmentally responsible manner by means of solar energy and energy-saving lighting. Progress does not stop there. Whereas during the Middle Ages it was customary to “turn on” lights with fire, today we have a whole host of methods as varied as they are original to address this problem.

    Among them is the idea of moving from a basic light switch, to the clap of hands or by voice, to control and manage your lights. In particular, the trend is towards switching on and managing one’s lighting via a simple smartphone.

    Control Your Lights Via An App

    The idea here is to make life easier. For that, there is only one thing to do: download an application.

    Once you install the app, you’ll be able to control all the lights in your home with a single tap on your smartphone. It’s as fast as it is magical. Many people are eager for this new way of life. Indeed, as you may have already noticed, this solution does not only exist for lighting. Many everyday objects are now “connected”.

    Commonly, we use Bluetooth technology to enable us to control our devices remotely. At SMART AND GREEN there exists a very special technology: the Bluetooth Mesh.

    Bluetooth SmartMesh Technology

    In a nutshell, Bluetooth Mesh, unlike the traditional Bluetooth, enables managing not one, but several devices over a short range. It allows sending a signal from one device to another as well as operating all these devices as a group.

    If you are interested in learning more about this technology, we invite you to read our article entitled “Bluetooth Mesh, what is it?“

    Control Your Lights, For What?

    You must have dreamed as a child of turning the lights on or off from your couch, without even having to move a finger. Now you can do it. As you can also choose the color, the intensity, and in short the atmosphere of your room! There’s no denying it, controlling your lights remotely makes life easier, yet it doesn’t stop there.

    • You turn off your television and decide to read a book? Opt for a low intensity blue light to enjoy the comfort of reading with a light setting that won’t damage your eyes.
    • You would like to create a warm atmosphere for your dinner guests? Go for a yellow light that will highlight your dining table.
    • When it comes to your backyard, there’s nothing more relaxing than being able to turn off your outside lights from inside the house when it’s -10C° outside, right?

    There are many solutions for managing your lighting fixtures, all of which are constantly evolving. By the way, did you know that you can just as easily ditch your smartphone and remote control devices altogether to discover the motion detection feature? Don’t move! Or you could be caught in the spotlight…

  • Bluetooth MESH: What Is It?

    Bluetooth MESH: What Is It?

    Time to read: 2 minutes. —

    Although the classic Bluetooth is well-known to everyone thanks to the exchange of music via smartphones, its peer, the Bluetooth MESH, remains a bit in the shadows. And yet, it offers an infinite amount of possibilities. For this reason, SMART AND GREEN decided to integrate this technology into its product line. To discover more about this unusual Bluetooth, we will try to introduce you to its particularities as well as to its functions.

    Bluetooth MESH: Main Differences With Classic Bluetooth? 

    Traditional Bluetooth enables exchanging information from one device to another (one-to-one) over a very close range. It is especially used for file transfers or in new trendy devices such as speakers and Bluetooth headsets. Its operation is straightforward. A signal is emitted from the smartphone or tablet in order to control a single device.

    For its part, Bluetooth MESH provides the possibility of controlling an almost infinite number of devices. Thus, it is possible to send a signal from one device to another, as well as to operate them as a group. In this way, each controllable device will interact with its entire environment.

    3 Advantages Of Bluetooth MESH

    There are multiple advantages to Bluetooth MESH:

    • GROUPS: Create groups of your devices to control all of them with your smartphone or tablet.
    • REMOTE CONTROL: Thanks to Bluetooth MESH, control your devices from both near and far. You no longer need to move to set up and control your devices. 
    • BLUETOOTH LOW-ENERGY: it reduces your devices’ energy consumption, thus increasing their life span.
