App-Controlled Mood Lights

Elgato's Avea Mood Lights Let Users Transform Any Room From Your Phone

— May 12, 2015 — Art & Design
Elgato's Avea ambient mood lights now let you control the atmosphere of any room in your home directly from your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch. Elgato Avea's carefully crafted settings allow you to subtly change the light of any room to suit your current mood.

The Avea lights use Bluetooth Smart technology to connect directly to your smart device, allowing for effortless control. To adjust the atmosphere of any room, the user simply chooses from one of the carefully crafted light scenes, which include settings such as Cherry Blossoms, Northern Glow and Mountain Breeze. The smart LED lightbulb will then respond accordingly to create the perfect ambiance. Users can even connect the light to their alarm to wake up to a natural light scene.

Currently the Avea ambient mood lights are only comparable with Apple devices, including the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
