WiZ

Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, introduces a new app and features for its WiZ smart lighting system to enhance users’ daily convenience. The new offerings include SpaceSense™, a motion detection technology for your lighting system that doesn’t require any sensor to be installed. The new WiZ app V2 and the SpaceSense™ feature are available now.

Lights that work like magic​

The SpaceSense™ feature is a never-seen-before innovation in the consumer lighting industry developed by WiZ. It uses Wi-Fi signals that are already present in the room to detect motion – without the need of dedicated sensors and batteries. Wi-Fi signals are slightly disturbed when people move around in a room, like a ripple in a swimming pool. By measuring the small deviations in signal strength caused by those disturbances, the WiZ lights can determine if there is an object moving in the room.

The detection is omnidirectional and doesn't require line of sight during installation, like in the case for a traditional motion sensor. The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted, for example, to prevent your pets from turning the lights on and off while running in and out of the room. You simply install at least two lights per room and connect them with the WiZ app V2. The new feature is completely opt-in so all WiZ users can decide themselves whether they would like to make use of it or not.

For many users the need for extra hardware to enable motion detection in their system felt complex, expensive and cumbersome. Now, for the first time ever, SpaceSense™ takes those hurdles away, opening up automations and other smart lighting advanced benefits to everyone.

Take lighting into your own hands​

Next to SpaceSense™, the WiZ app V2 is full of other surprises and offers exciting new features plus smoother interactions. The brand-new user interface makes for an even more intuitive experience to make people's everyday life easier. The Quick Action feature allows you to control your personalized lighting choices faster, independently from other users in your home, while the Light Scene feature lets your creativity come to life by creating a specific Scene for any room. You can tweak light settings as desired, create a new Scene, and initiate it within the app or with Siri voice control for an instant change in atmosphere.

Maikel Klomp, Business Leader of WiZ, "At WiZ, we are on a mission to make smart lighting more accessible and meaningful in daily life. A ground-breaking feature like SpaceSense is yet another major step in bringing this mission to life.”

Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, is introducing new a Music Sync feature and expanding LED strips offering, to complement its WiZ smart lighting system, so users can apply creative and entertaining lighting to any space. This new feature enables users to have their lights change brightness and color with the rhythm of music.

Make WiZ lights dance to your music​

Users can now set their Connected by WiZ lights to change brightness and color with the rhythm of the music. The new Music Sync feature uses the microphone on the users phone or tablet to detect music and instruct lights to flash, brighten, and change color in sync with the rhythm. Users can select from the 9 pre-designed color palettes in the WiZ app and make their lights cycle through the colors. Whether they are having a party with friends or enjoying a relaxing evening alone, users can switch on their WiZ lights and fill any room with dynamic light effects that groove along to their favorite song.

WiZ is launching a new unique home monitoring technology that uses the power of light and motion detection to help you keep your home safe

• Users can make their home feel safe with WiZ’s new home monitoring technology and features, combining lighting and security in an integrated approach
• The new smart home monitoring WiZ indoor camera is the first of many home monitoring products to complement the portfolio
• WiZ uses the power of light and motion to prevent or deter intruders

Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, is launching new home monitoring technology and software features to complement its WiZ smart lighting system, pairing lighting and security in a simple, smart and secure way. The new WiZ indoor camera combines with software updates on the WiZ app, WiZ lights and SpaceSense motion detection technology to create an integrated solution that give users peace of mind when away from home.

Using the power of light and motion detection to deter intruders

WiZ integrates home monitoring features in its smart lighting system, taking advantage of the fact that lights are found throughout the home and can be one of the most effective tools to discourage potential intruders. With a seamless user experience in mind, the WiZ app is optimized with intuitive features, such as customizable monitoring routines, allowing users to both control their lighting and monitor their home with a single tap in the app. They simply click on their desired routine to let the WiZ system know they are going away and activate a set of lighting behaviors to help secure their home.

The WiZ app can now also notify users of unexpected activity in their home, allowing them to take immediate action. With SpaceSense motion detection technology, every compatible WiZ light is a motion sensor that detects movement in the coverage area. The award-winning technology makes the WiZ smart ecosystem one of the most comprehensive, and when combined with the new WiZ indoor camera, the system provides full coverage for the entire home. Consumers can activate WiZ monitoring for the entire home or for certain areas only and can quickly turn it off when necessary.

WiZ lights can also be automated with presence simulation: they will turn on and off automatically to simulate the presence of somebody at home. Users can decide how the lights will react when motion is detected: turn on to full brightness, flash, or display vibrant colors, for example.

WiZ indoor camera to keep an eye on users’ homes

An important element of the new home monitoring solution is the WiZ indoor camera. It will allow consumers to control and see what’s always happening at home and will also notify them of any suspicious movement or sound. As soon as users receive a notification, they can open the WiZ app to get a live view of what’s going on.

The WiZ indoor camera is equipped with night vision, which is automatically enabled when the light level is low enough, using infrared to light up the space and ensure clear visibility. The image-based motion detection can also pick up on any sudden loud noises, such as the breaking of windows or fire/smoke alarms, and send notifications. Additional features include two-way audio feature, wide 120 degree viewing angle, full HD, and an SD card slot.

Those new to the WiZ ecosystem can begin their home monitoring journey with the home monitoring starter kit, composed of the new WiZ indoor camera and WiZ lights. WiZ will provide an optional subscription service to unlock additional features, like the option of storing media from the WiZ indoor camera in the cloud for up to 30 days, defining motion activity zones and/or privacy zones in selected areas, or starting a manual recording while the WiZ camera is streaming.
