Easier-Than-Ever Smart Lighting
Smart lighting is important for CHIP certification because it’s so popular: when people start home automation, they tend to start with smart switches or smart bulbs for lighting. They’re easy to set up and the benefits are very clear. CHIP will allow the Home app to control a wider variety of smart lights more intelligently, so you don’t worry as much about a lighting product working with your iPhone – just check for the CHIP logo. This should also open the door for smart lights with new capabilities, like more voice control options and easier syncing with things like your smart speakers or displays.
