| It's a user interface shift. A smartphone is an complex always on device with its own internet connection, microphone, GPS and camera. We are not trading low risk UI with high risk UI. We switch or extend it to nodevice/voice control. And I personally find it very impressive and subtile. It just makes sense to use it in your kitchen, bedroom or on the Couch. It is the same with Philips hue. Do I need it? No. Is it worth to me? Every penny. Why? Because it's a completely new level. Now you can combine lamps which had not one switch like your ceiling lights with a standlamp in the corner and you put your ligjtswitches where you actually are using them. That was never possible before.and it's great for creating lightsettings. I'm using different lightsettings constantly. For example our light is much less bright when I go to the toilet at night and it is motion detection based which I really love for our floor. |
