WeMo Compatible Connected Cree LED Bulb
LED lighting company Cree has partnered with Belkin, the folks behind the home automation system WeMo, to offer a WeMo-compatible Connected Cree LED Bulb. This bulb will easily connect to the WeMo ecosystem for control through the WeMo app on a smart device. This means the user has control just about anywhere and the installer as a hassle-free installation.
This bulb is fully dimmable, a 60-watt replacement, and delivers 815 lumens in what is described as a soft white, 2700K color temperature.
The WeMo app that the bulb connects to also allows the Connected Cree Bulb to work with other WeMo products, including the WeMo Light Switch, WeMo Insight Switch, WeMo Maker, WeMo Smart LED bulbs, and NetCam HD+. As an example, this integration allows users to use the NetCam HD+ as a motion sensor to automatically turn on the Connected Cree Bulb when someone enters a room.
The companies involved have dubbed this a “strategic relationship” and state that, while the Connected Cree LED Bulb is the first offering, there is potential to expand the product lineup.
The WeMo compatible Connected Cree LED bulb is stated to be available the summer of 2015.
