Nanoleaf Launches Smart Home Kit, Energy-Efficient Light Bulb

Nanoleaf has launched the Smarter kit and the Smart Ivy.

The Smarter kit is an Apple HomeKit-enabled smart lighting system that incorporates the world’s most energy-efficient light bulb, the Smart Ivy.

After setting up a Hub, which is included in the Smarter kit, you can control your Ivy lights through Siri using any iOS device. Android support is on the way, says Nanoleaf.

The Smarter kit is $100.

Nanoleaf’s light bulb saw early success crowdfunding on Indiegogo.

“The way I see it is that within the next 10 years, every single light bulb will be connected,”  said Gimmy Chu, CEO and co-founder of Nanoleaf.

The Toronto-born startup was recently listed on a GoToMeeting 5.
