Sengled wants to improve the smart home experience with new light bulbs, more

By

Sengled is an established name in the smart home market, but a recent announcement suggests the company aims to expand its reputation. Sengled is launching a new series of devices to improve the overall smart home experience. According to CEO Johnson Shen, “Sengled has been at the cutting-edge of smart lighting, and these new Element products demonstrate our commitment to offering our customers even more options to experience lighting in a new way. And, for those who are just curious about smart lighting but have yet to make the plunge into the smart home world, we even have a product for you too.”

The new announcements are not limited solely to smart bulbs. Sengled also includes details about the new Sengled Element Smart Plug. This device allows users to turn run-of-the-mill appliances into app-controlled devices. This makes it easy to automate otherwise “dumb” appliances. All you have to do is plug the appliance into the smart socket, and voila — you can control it via your smartphone.

Here is a full list of the new devices.

Outdoor smart lighting exists, but typically only as an add-on to a home security system. The Element Classic PAR38 combines all the utility of a smart light with passive infrared (PIR) motion-sensing technology. You can program the light to turn on and off at a given time, or to activate only when it senses motion. When motion is picked up, you’ll receive an alert directly to your smartphone. The Element Classic PAR38 starts at $29.99 for a single light.
