Wireless Light Switches

Using smart lighting technology offers many benefits. With wireless light switches, you can control when your lights turn on and off without even being at home.

If you are stuck out later than expected and you don’t want to come home to a dark house, simply open your smart light switch app and turn on some lights in advance. You can also pre-program lights for convenience or as a security measure when you are away on vacation. And if you have a smart display or smart speaker, you can also use voice commands to control remote light switches when you are home.

If you pair your wireless light switches with multicolor smart light bulbs, you can even control the color temperature of your lighting. Imagine asking your smart speaker to turn the living room lights on and then switching them to blue for fun!

The way that smart lighting works is by connecting the lighting with a smart device or directly with your Wi-Fi network. Wireless light switches will come with instructions for how to connect to the Wi-Fi network in your home. You will need a reliable signal from your Wi-Fi router. If you have areas around your home with a poor signal, you may benefit from a Wi-Fi extender or mesh Wi-Fi.

Many Wi-Fi light switches can replace traditional light switches without too much hassle. If you want assistance, you can make a smart home installation appointment with the professionals on Best Buy’s smart home team.

Before buying smart lighting, make sure you choose the best smart light switches by identifying which ones are compatible with any smart system you have or intend to install in your home.
