Nicholas Clark's blog : Using A Smart Bulb Smartly
There are many sizes, colors, styles, and configurations of smart bulbs. Any existing light fixture, such as a bedroom lamp or a pendant light in the kitchen, can be made smarter with smart bulbs. They work well for single-bulb bulbs and groups of light fixtures you want to modernize or colorize.
Your smart bulb has a wide range of intelligent applications. This intelligence extends beyond simply using your smartphone to turn on and off your lightbulb, and a few additional functions increase your device's intelligence.
This blog is for you if you're interested in smart bulbs and fixtures but don't know where to begin or what they can accomplish.
Change The Hue of Your Lightbulb.
You can usually adjust the color of the light bulb in smart bulbs. This method allows you to paint your room any color you like—green, red, blue, etc.
Here's how to go about it:
1. In the Smart Life app, tap your lightbulb.
2. To change the color of your bulb, tap the Color option at the top of your screen.
3. To change the color of your bulb, use the slider on your screen.
Turn Your Bulb On/Off After a Specified Time
After a predetermined amount of time, you can turn your bulb on/Off. In your app, you can set a time limit for how long you want the bulb to be on or off, and when that expires, the bulb will switch on or off.
For that, you can set a timer as shown below:
1. In the Smart Life app, tap your lightbulb.
2. In the bottom-left corner, choose Left time.
3. Enter the time you want your light to stay on or turn off. Then click OK.
Turn Your Bulb On/Off with Schedules
You may automate operations with schedules, such as turning your light on and off at specific times on particular days. This essentially avoids the trouble of having to click buttons every day to utilize your bulb manually. Your predefined schedules will function as intended as long as your smart bulb is online and powered on.
Here's how to set up your smart bulb's initial schedule:
1. Tap Schedule at the bottom of the screen for your bulb in the app.
2. To add a new schedule, click Add on the next screen.
3. You can select a time, a frequency, whether to turn the light on or off and other options. After that, click Save to save your schedule.
