These days, several smartphones have the uniquely advanced capability of wireless charging. With a special charging stand, compatible phones can simply be placed on a charging pad instead of being plugged in. However, this technology truly excels when combined with traditional home decor.

Easy to install, all you have to do is purchase a smart lighting hub that connects to your phone so you can sync smart light bulbs to your mobile device. Implementing smart lighting means you can have all the control of traditional lighting systems directly from your phone, without wires or expensive installation fees.
