Following the presentation of its WiZ Pro range for professional users, WiZ has launched its WiZ Connected OEM partnership program, unveiling dozens of WiZ Connected smart lights implementations already performed by brands such as Brilliant; Fischer & Honsel; iDual; Lutec; Trio and more.
By integrating the WiZ Connected Controller into their LED driver, WiZ OEM partners can now offer to their customers, for the lifetime of the WiZ Connected products, full access to the WiZ world class Android/iOS WiZ App and WiZ Pro App, automatic firmware updates, secure and interoperable cloud services as well as the WiZ end user support in six languages.
With WiFi connectivity and Bluetooth Low Energy capability, the WiZ smart light technology allows independent internet connectivity for each light using routers that are already installed for residential and commercial internet access. It is integrated to cloud web services for interoperability and scalability together with multi-user capability. Furthermore, all the WiZ technology based lights from any partner can now be operated through voice control using Amazon Alexa or Google Home and, later this year, Apple Home kit.
“Our OEM partnership program aims at fast tracking manufacturers to full IoT capability at an affordable price”, says Francois Aubaniac, EMEA director for WiZ. All WiZ technology enabled luminaires are interoperable with each other and with all WiZ branded products already available online and in stores in Europe and the U.S., we are building an open ecosystem which will provide a choice of luminaires to consumers and professionals“.
