On the eve of Christmas and the increase in the bill, electricity continues to be a concern for many families. At this time of the year when lighting is so valuable and important, many people are always trying to find ways to avoid overpaying for it. Is mission impossible? Ikea is aware of this situation and therefore has put on sale an object that can be very useful for not having to pay so much for light.
It is an automatic light sensor that can become the new method of energy saving. These devices transform light energy into electromagnetic radiation or photons and can sense the variation of illumination at a given location, a description that the human eye can detect. Thanks to these intelligent devices, we can ensure that the lights in our homes are always controlled, spending as little as possible.
Ikea’s TRÅDFRI wireless motion sensor, your ally to control the cost of light
Undoubtedly, Ikea’s TRÅDFRI wireless motion sensor can be a great ally, as it automatically turns the lights on and off when it detects a presence. This way, you get the lighting when you need it and save energy. In addition, you can use it in any room of your home, even in the bathrooms. It turns off the light in the room once we have left. In this way, it saves every minute we do not need light; if we forget to do it, it does it for us.
This device from Ikea is very easy to use. Because it lights up with movement, your home will be a safer place. The motion sensor allows up to 10 lights to be automatically switched on and off simultaneously. The light sources connected to the motion sensor can be easily set to 30% or 100% of their luminous intensity. This sensor is tested and approved for children and only works with IKEA wireless control devices. Do not use fixed installation dimmers or mix batteries of different types, capacities, or dates of manufacture.
Specifically, the sensor works with IKEA Home Smart, and the TRÅDFRI connection device and the IKEA Home Smart app must be used to control them with Apple HomeKit. In addition, night and day modes can be selected, and the light switches off automatically after 3 minutes. The maximum range of the motion sensor is 10 meters from the light source, provided no walls are blocking it. The full range of reaction to movement is 5 meters with an angle of 120º. It does not require a fixed installation and includes batteries that last approximately two years.
This smart device from Kia is available on the website and in physical stores for only 13 dollars. It measures approximately 7.4 x 4.4 x 3.7 cm and should be cleaned with a dry cloth. Ikea’s customers who have rated it on the web approve of it notably and value its design, ease of assembly, and value for money very positively. If there is a “but” to be said, they regret that it is impossible to program the minutes for turning off the lights.
