Connected lighting is an essential part of today’s smart home technology solutions. Osram’s LIGHTIFY system has joined the Works with Nest programme, one of the leading drivers in the smart home business. The Nest Learning Thermostat offers simple and thoughtful solutions for every home.

Many people will agree that the right lighting can help evoke feelings of safety. Whether you’re at home and leave on porch lights or away and keep on a few at night, lighting and a sense of security go hand in hand. With the growing home automation sector, it’s becoming increasingly essential to find ways to expand the connectivity of lighting within other areas of the home. To help home automation enthusiasts unite lighting and a sense of safety with ease, OSRAM LIGHTIFY® smart connected lighting products now work with Nest Learning Thermostats.

Philips is currently in talks with Google owned thermostat company Nest on integrating thermostats into smart bulbs, according to a Slash Gear report.
