The ideal connected speaker for beginners in home automation
The Amazon Echo Dot 3 is starting to date since this speaker was released in 2018, but it’s still ideal if you’ve never used this type of equipment before. The Echo Dot 3 is equipped with the basic functions of the Alexa voice assistant such as playing music, knowing the weather, programming a timer or even answering stupid questions. The audio isn’t the most powerful, but it’s good enough when you want to add a little ambiance when you’re home alone.
Alexa will obey your every command once the assistant is connected to your Wi-Fi and take control of your connected devices compatible with it. This is the case with Philips Hue bulbs, they also work by connecting to Wi-Fi, but it is possible to use the ZigBee protocol, which consumes much less energy. However, this requires connecting your bulbs to a Hue Bridge, sold separately. You can also control these bulbs through the dedicated Philips Hue app.
The benefits of Philips Hue connected lighting
The connected bulbs provided in this pack are Philips Hue White, so they are not bulbs that change color. These diffuse only white lighting with adjustable intensity and temperature, so you can alternate between soft and warm light for a relaxed evening or cold and intense for studious ones. And of course, you can turn them on and off by voice by asking Alexa and schedule routines to automatically turn them on at a certain time.
Having connected lighting, in addition to being practical, is more than welcome in these times of soaring electricity costs. These bulbs consume less energy than traditional bulbs since they do not heat up and their electrical intensity can be changed as desired. Even though they are more expensive, they have a huge lifespan (25,000 hours) so you will have to change them less often. This makes this pack a profitable investment in the long term.
