The benefits of Apple Adaptive Lighting
One of the main strengths of the Apple Home platform is its adaptive lighting system, designed to automatically adjust the color temperature of bulbs throughout the day. With the arrival of Matter, this functionality will become even more accessible and versatile.
What is Matter and why is it important?
matter is a new interoperability standard for the connected home, developed by Apple, Amazon, Google and others. It enables devices to communicate locally without relying on a cloud connection, increasing the security and reliability of your smart home.
How Adaptive Lighting Works with Matter
With the release of iOS 18, Apple will allow Matter-compatible smart bulbs to use adaptive lighting. This means that this feature, which previously only worked with a few specific brands, will now be available for a much wider range of products.
Brands already compatible and to come
Currently, brands like Nanoleaf and Philips Hue are leading the way in adopting adaptive lighting with Matter. Other brands, such as Govee, Lifx, Wiz and Linkind, could also make their products compatible with this innovative feature.
Daily benefits
- Automatic transition from cool to warm light throughout the day
- Improving the ambiance of your home
- Possibility of integration with more brands
- Easier and less expensive use of adaptive lighting
Integration with other ecosystems
Adaptive lighting remains exclusive to the Apple Home ecosystem and will not be available in other Matter-enabled ecosystems like Amazon Alexa or Google Home. However, similar advanced lighting features are in development and may soon be available on these platforms.
