One of the most useful functions of home automation is controlling home lighting. In Europe, many homes have smart speakerseven if they don’t serve any purpose other than playing music or, hopefully, making a shopping list. Something similar happens with lighting and home automation control.
Some homes are equipped with smart switches or light bulbs, which are very useful but are not versatile enough in certain circumstances. For example, in kitchens or bathrooms there are usually certain types of ceiling lighting in which we cannot use light bulbs. Sometimes this type of ceiling is also used in studios or workshops, due to its more diffused light.
Downlight or ceiling systems are normally used, and To automate them, you need lighting fixtures that already integrate this. A good example is the one that is now available at Lidl with a 52% discount since its normal price is 83.99 dollars and it can currently be purchased for 39.99 dollars. This price does not include shipping costs, which amount to 3.99 dollars for all of Europe, with the exception of the Canary Islands, where they cost 6.99 dollars.
