The problem it solves

At the end of the day someone has to walk around and manually check that every light is off, or you risk leaving lights burning all night and running up your electricity bill. It's an easy thing to forget when you're rushing out the door.

Who it fits

Small businesses or offices using Philips Hue smart lighting who want an easy end-of-day shutoff.

How it works

  1. You start it manually or on a schedule
  2. The system checks every light connected to your Philips Hue account
  3. It filters out any lights that aren't currently reachable
  4. It turns off all the remaining reachable lights
What you get

An office that's never left fully lit overnight

You can shut off every smart light in your office in one step at the end of the day.

What you get

All your connected smart lights switched off in a single action.

What you need

A Philips Hue account with your lights connected to it.

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.
