Eaton’s Halo Home System Leverages Bluetooth Mesh for Easy Access

04/30/2018 by Lighting Controls Association 1 Comment

Eaton recently announced the launch of Halo Home®, a Bluetooth® mesh, smart lighting system that allows homeowners to automate and control one light or a host of lighting products throughout the home using a smart mobile device. A home can have more than 100 lighting products, and homeowners are turning to connected lighting products for better functionality, security and safety, as well as lifestyle enrichment and wellness.

Utilizing the advanced technology of Bluetooth mesh allows Halo Home to be installed and controlled directly from the mobile device, without needing a hub or gateway. The optional internet access bridge provides WiFi connectivity, enabling remote access to the lights and integration with Amazon Echo products for voice control capabilities. Halo Home, which currently includes 4-inch and 5/6-inch downlights, a Smart Anyplace Bluetooth Dimmer and an optional internet access bridge, is a simple and flexible connected option, with the ability install as little as one downlight or scale up to control the entire home through the easy-to-use Halo Home app for iOS or Android.

Eaton has immediate plans to expand the system and will soon release the second set of Halo Home products, including in-wall wireless dimmers, outdoor flood and motion lights, a wall-plug for lamps, and a wireless adaptor that enables retrofitting non-wireless lighting fixtures.

    So the question for any would be purchers should be – is this a solution based upon the latest agreed interoperable Bluetooth mesh protocol or is it Eaton’s own proprietary implementation, meaning it only works with Eaton’s Bluetooth solution and components?
    For more information on the latest Bluetooth Mesh interoperable standard just follow this link – https://www.bluetooth.com/news/pressreleases/2017/07/bluetooth-sig-announces-mesh-networking-capability
