Smart homes are the next big thing, which means we could soon
be able to control pretty much everything around us using our
mobile devices. If this sounds like a future you can’t wait for,
you can make a start with your lighting.
Philips’ Hue range can
be wirelessly controlled using your iOS device and a dedicated
app (free, tinyurl.com/ncz96o8). You can change the colour and
mood of your Hue lighting, and add a timer to have the lights
wake you up in the morning, for example.
You can even use it
to create a disco in your living room if you choose. Plus, you can
turn your lights on or off using the app, too.
