Bridgewater, NJ – Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, introduces a new app, features and products for its WiZ smart lighting system to enhance users’ daily convenience. With a surprisingly thoughtful ecosystem, WiZ unlocks a more comfortable, caring and joyful home for everyone. WiZ is proud to introduce a new app, breakthrough feature SpaceSense™, and new products joining the line up this fall.

Lights that work like magic

For the first time since its launch in 2016, the WiZ system is revamping its app. The WiZ app is at the core of the WiZ ecosystem, functioning as the enabler of all features in products. With it comes SpaceSense™, a never-before-seen innovation in the consumer lighting industry developed by WiZ. This breakthrough feature is based on Wi-Fi sensing technology. It takes home automation to a new level by using Wi-Fi signals that are already present in the room to detect motion without the need for separate sensors and batteries. Wi-Fi signals are slightly disturbed when people move around in a room, like a ripple in a swimming pool. By measuring the small deviations in signal strength caused by those disturbances, the WiZ lights can determine if there is an object moving in the room. The detection is omnidirectional and doesn't require line of sight during installation, as a traditional motion sensor based on passive InfraRed (PIR) technology would. SpaceSense™ will automatically illuminate your rooms, turning the light on when you enter and off when motion is no longer detected. The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted, for example, to prevent your pets from turning the lights on and off while running in and out of the room. You simply need to install at least two lights per room and connect them with the WiZ app V2.

Privacy and security are of the utmost importance to the WiZ smart lighting system. SpaceSense ™ detects motion by the ripple in Wi-Fi waves created by the user's motion. It does not detect people’s exact location nor does it recognize faces. All the detection data is processed locally without going to the Internet or Cloud service. This feature is completely opt-in so all WiZ users can decide themselves whether they would like to make use of it or not. SpaceSense™ can be enabled for most new products introduced after September 2021 and all Connected by WiZ products – including WiZ brand, Philips Smart LED and other OEM and private label brands.

Take lighting into your own hands

In addition to SpaceSense™, the WiZ app V2 offers a new user interface designed for increased control and simplicity: less taps to achieve your intended action; less visual clutter; and smoother interactions. With just one tap, you can view all of all your rooms on the Home screen to see which lights are on, their level of brightness and the modes used. With the slide of your finger, set the ambiance to your mood, adjust the brightness or see groups of devices.

Quick action enables you to have your own, personalized quick action in the new app. Set your quick action to turn on your bedside lamp for reading time, set the mood for a relaxing dinner, or get you up and energized for the day. With quick actions, you can control one or multiple lights, adjusting the room with just one tap.

The Light Scene management feature brings your life by creating a Scene for a room. With the new Light Scene management feature, you can manage your custom scenes to save light settings such as color and brightness combos that can instantly change the atmosphere. Once you choose the affected devices and name your Scene, you can easily change to them in the app or by using voice control.

Same as the current WiZ App, the new WiZ app V2 is the core of the WiZ ecosystem. All WiZ and Connected by WiZ products that have ever been manufactured are compatible with the WiZ app V2.

A more comfortable, caring and joyful home

To make it easier for users to enjoy the WiZ experience everywhere in their home, WiZ continuously expand its portfolio with new types of lamps and luminaires.

The new WiZ Mobile Portable lamp is ideal for taking room to room, setting the mood for any time of day.

In addition to smart control with app or voice, the portable lamp features a touch panel for quick control of pre-set modes and dimming features, as well as a soft handle to effortlessly bring it with you throughout the day.

Paint the wall with color with the WiZ Pole Floor Light. A true standing lamp, it can be placed in the corner of any room to create a wide-angle wall-wash effect. With its base removed, the floor light can be placed horizontally under a couch or tucked behind your bedframe for a decorative look. Offering 16 million colors and dual zones, the WiZ Pole Floor Light adds ambiance for everything from holidays and parties to rooting on your favorite sports team with the family.

The slim WiZ Bar Linear Light Dual Pack radiates millions of colors and is perfect for small spaces. Offering versatility and flexibility, the bar light can be tilted on its side to adjust the light angle or connected to a second bar to double the effect. Whether emphasizing home décor or unique collections on a shelf, the Bar Linear Light adds a playfulness that highlights your personality and style.

WiZ is also moving outside of the home, with its first outdoor luminaire, the multicolor String Light. Light up your garden or balcony in just a month from now with 16 million color options and just in time for the holidays! Completely waterproof and weatherproof, the String Light offers white and color lights so you can now beautify the outside as much as the inside of your home for every season.

With the WiZ String Light, you can create the perfect atmosphere for everything from your summer barbeque and Halloween to your holiday parties and showing your team pride!

The latest new accessory, the Smart Button lets you control lights with just one click of a button. Like other WiZ control accessories, the Portable Button sends wireless commands directly to your lights without going through your Wi-Fi router, working even when your Wi-Fi is down. Just stick it on the wall with the included wall plate or any metal surface with the magnet embedded on the back. It controls all WiZ and Connected by WiZ lights.
