Evolt partners with WiZ Connected Lighting

Evolt has partnered with WiZ Connected Lighting to allow development of WiZ-enabled lighting products in Australia and New Zealand.

“WiZ technology enables contractors to provide their customers with a simple solution to integrate smart lighting around their home. WiZ lighting doesn’t just turn lights on and off. Each light includes 64,000 whites, so lighting can be set to complement the natural light of the day, minimising stress on eyes and the user’s mood,” said Joel Moss, Managing Director and owner of Evolt.

The WiZ technology is built into the lighting fixtures, meaning there’s no hubs or additional wiring required. A simple plug in and play set-up, lighting control can be managed through Wi-Fi, mobile data networks, the Bluetooth remote or existing switches. The partnership encompasses WiZ Pro, which provides hardware and software solutions for businesses looking to integrate smart lighting on a larger scale.

“This is a professional platform using the latest IoT technology, bringing home and building automation to a new level,” said Eduardo Yudowski, General Manager — Retail, Evolt.

“The WiZ app offers multiusers and multilocation options, making it suitable for new or existing homes and commercial building applications.

Using the WiZ app, the user can control and monitor buildings with features such as adding floor plans, schedules and rules, and measure energy usage.

“We are developing WiZ-enabled products that will create a WiZ-eco system, not only for existing lamps but also to include complete lighting fixtures and other devices,” Yudowski added.

WiZ allows the user to set up the lights via the free-to-download WiZ app. The app can also be integrated with external apps including IFTTT (if this, then that), Amazon Alexa and Google Home, providing full integration into other smart home devices.

Using the app, light intensity can be changed from either a single colour or tuneable with 64,000 shades of whites, controlling mood, relaxation and minimising stress on eyes. For lights with colours, users are able to choose from 16 million colour variations to set dynamic light modes for any occasion. Favourite light combinations in individual rooms can be saved by taking a quick photo in the app and be selected at a later date for similar moods or occasions.
