Origin AI has started working with Signify, a lighting company, to bring new features to smart home lighting products. This partnership adds Origin AI’s WiFi Sensing technology to Signify’s WiZ smart lighting system. The goal is to make it easier for people to use their lights while also giving them new ways to manage their homes.
WiFi Sensing from Origin AI tracks movement in a home by using WiFi signals. With this, lights can turn on or off automatically when someone enters or leaves a room, or even adjust based on activity. This does not need cameras or extra sensors, which means it can be added to existing WiZ lights and devices with software updates. The technology is meant to help users get more out of their smart lights without needing to buy new hardware.
Signify’s WiZ system is already used in many homes. By adding Origin AI’s technology, Signify aims to give users more control and automation features. For example, lights can be set to turn on when someone walks into a room and turn off when the room is empty. The system can also be linked to other smart home products through the WiZ app. Both companies say this helps make smart home lighting more useful and brings more options to people who want their homes to be more connected.
Origin AI says its WiFi Sensing is private and secure because it does not record or store personal data, and it works without cameras. This is important for customers who do not want extra devices watching them. The technology uses changes in WiFi signals to figure out if someone is moving around. If the WiZ lights detect this, they can respond right away.
Products that use the new features are planned for release soon. The companies believe the partnership will help both current and new customers get more value from their existing devices. The new features will be offered first to people who already have WiZ products, and then to others as the rollout continues. This step is part of a larger plan by both companies to keep adding new features to their smart home products.
