Smart lamps and luminaires partner project launched in Frankfurt

By integrating the WiZ Connected Controller into their LED driver, WiZ OEM partners can now offer their customers full access to the WiZ world class Android/iOS WiZ App and WiZ Pro App, automatic firmware updates and secure and interoperable cloud services for the lifetime of the WiZ Connected products, as well as end user support in six languages.

With WiFi connectivity and Bluetooth Low Energy capability, the WiZ smart light technology allows independent internet connectivity for each light, using existing routers for residential and commercial internet access. It is integrated to cloud web services for maximum interoperability and scalability together with multi-user capability. Furthermore, all of the WiZ technology-based lights from any partner can now be operated through voice control using Amazon Alexa or Google Home and, later this year, Apple Home kit.

“Our OEM partnership programme aims at fast tracking manufacturers to full IoT capability at an extremely affordable price,” said Francois Aubaniac, EMEA Director for WiZ. “All WiZ technology-enabled luminaires are fully interoperable with each other and with all WiZ branded products already available online and in stores across Europe and the US, we are building an open ecosystem which will ultimately provide a very large choice of luminaires to consumers and professionals.“
