The problem it solves

You want your storefront or office lighting to be ready and set to the right mood or brightness without someone manually flipping switches every morning or evening. Doing it by hand means inconsistent lighting and one more task for staff to remember.

Who it fits

A retail store, office, or hospitality business using smart lighting.

How it works

  1. A trigger signals it's time to adjust the lights
  2. The system connects to your Philips Hue lights
  3. It switches the light on and sets the brightness to your chosen level
  4. Your space is lit exactly the way you want it, automatically
What you get

Mornings you never touch a light switch

Your lights turn on and dim to the perfect setting automatically, every time, without anyone flipping a switch.

What you get

Lights turned on and set to a specific brightness level, with no manual switching.

What you need

A Philips Hue account and compatible smart lights.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
