The BeON Home is part-smart light bulb, part-home protection system! The idea is for your house when you’re home to be virtually indistinguishable from your house when you’re away on vacation. The BeON bulb tracks and remembers your light usage, so that when you leave it will mimic and replay your typical schedule to (believably) suggest you never left!
Mind you this isn’t the only “light bulb” with a memory for this, however, BeON has created a well thought out solution that does more, and has the potential to “grow” in terms of capabilities.
The BeON Home System
The BeON Home system comes with few other great features. Keeping in mind that burglars sometimes ring the doorbell to test if you’re home, BeON offers a doorbell response. One of your lights will actually turn on as if you’re home and getting up to answer the door. Getting beyond tricking your friendly neighborhood burglar: If there is a power outage, the BeON bulbs will actually operate for up to 4 hours on battery . If a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm goes off, the bulbs will turn on and work as emergency lighting to help you exit safely. The bulbs can work indoors or outdoors, in enclosed fixtures or exposed. All this, plus they work with your normal on/off light switch as well as the app… And they’re dimmable! (You can watch short animated demo videos of these features on the BeON website.) The BeON Home is technically two pieces: 1) the bulb, and 2) the built-in rechargeable battery module, which recharges automatically when the light is on. The battery’s features include:- Always active – 24/7 detection of alarms and lighting commands
- Memory – learns your lighting behavior and stores your replay schedule
- Bluetooth – bulbs communicate wirelessly, every bulb knows everything
- Microphone – trained to detect your doorbell and your smoke/CO alarms
- Battery – when AC power isn’t there, battery kicks in and recharges whenever light switch is on
- Upgradeable – future-proof, so you can swap out new modules as they become available
