The touch controls are intuitive and respond immediately to your touch, making using the switches a seamless and enjoyable experience. This modern control system fits perfectly with the sleek aesthetic of our switches and contributes to the luxurious feeling of your home.

LED Backlight

One of the unique features of Livolo switches is the subtle LED backlight. These switches have a small, round light that glows blue. When the switch is touched and activated, this light changes from blue to red, allowing you to see at a glance whether the lights are on or off. The LED light does not illuminate the room, but gives a refined look to your interior. In addition, this lighting ensures that you can always see the status of your switches, which is especially useful for, for example, the switch to which your outdoor lighting is connected.

Manual operation

Another major advantage of Livolo smart home systems is that our switches can always be operated manually. This means that everyone in your home can control the lighting without having to use the Livolo app. This is ideal for guests or children who may not have access to the app, but still need to be able to easily control the lighting. With Livolo you enjoy the convenience of a smart home, without sacrificing accessibility and ease of use.

Why choose smart switches and not smart lighting?

When creating a Smart Home it is important to make the right choices smart switches and smart lighting. Why should you choose smart switches instead of smart lighting? The answer is simple: Smart switches offer much more flexibility and ease of use.

Flexibility and Compatibility

Smart switches from Livolo offer the flexibility to upgrade your existing, normal lighting to a smart system. This means you don't have to purchase expensive smart bulbs to enjoy the benefits of a smart home. You can keep your traditional lighting while taking advantage of the intelligent features that smart switches provide.

Preservation of Functionality

An important advantage of smart switches is that they retain traditional control via the switch. You can still switch your lights on and off manually as you are used to, but with added smart functions such as control via an app or voice commands.

Disadvantages of using smart lighting:

• When you turn off the lights with an app, you can no longer turn them on with the traditional switch.
• If you turn off the lights with the switch, you cannot turn them on again with the app.
  

Advantages of using smart switches:

• You can turn the lights off with the switch and then turn them on again with the app, and vice versa.
• Everything continues to function properly, regardless of whether you operate the lighting with the app or the switch.

With smart switches, controlling your lighting always remains simple and accessible to everyone in your home, without them having to use the Livolo app. The use of smart switches offers significantly more advantages than the use of smart lighting. Never combine smart switches with smart lighting; Always choose one smart home system for optimal efficiency and the right functionality.

Apply automations and scenes

With Livolo you can fully automate your home and set different scenes to simplify your daily routines and optimize your living environment. By integrating all Livolo EC products into the Livolo Home app, you can create a wide range of automations and scenes that exactly match your needs and preferences. Here are some examples to give you an idea of ​​the possibilities.

Morning scene:

Suppose you get up between 6:00 and 8:00 every morning. You can set up an automation where, as soon as you activate the hall switch, the kitchen spotlights turn on dimly at 20% and the table lamp at 30%. This brings you downstairs to a softly lit room and you can enjoy your breakfast in peace. If you turn off the hall switch after 8:00 AM (for example when you leave the house), all lights in the entire house will automatically turn off. This saves energy and ensures that you never accidentally leave a lamp on.

Evening scene:

Set an evening scene starting at 6:00 PM. When you switch on the living room switch, the mood lighting in the living room and the outdoor lamps turn on automatically. The lighting can be set to a comfortable brightness that is perfect for a cozy evening at home. You can also set a timer so that the lights switch off automatically at 11:00 PM when you go to bed.

Away from home scene:

When you leave your home, you can activate a "away from home" scene. This scene can turn off all the lights in your home and turn on your security systems at the same time. You can also set up an automation that randomly turns some lights on and off to give the impression that someone is home, increasing the security of your home.

Movie night scene:

For a perfect movie night, you can set a scene where, as soon as you activate the TV switch, the main lighting dims or turns off completely, while the mood lighting remains on softly. You can also have the curtains close automatically and adjust the thermostat for a comfortable temperature.

Bedtime scene:

Another useful automation is the "go to sleep" scene. When you turn on the bedroom switch, you can set it to turn off all lights in the rest of the house and slowly dim the lights in the bedroom over a set period of time. You can also activate the door and window sensors to ensure that all windows and doors are closed, and receive a notification if a window or door is open.

Working day scene:

For remote workers, a "workday" scene can be useful. For example, when you turn on the switch in your home office, set the lights in your office to go to a bright, energetic setting, while the rest of the house remains in an energy-saving mode. You can also set the lighting in the office to switch off automatically during lunch breaks or at the end of the working day.
