Don't Be Sold On Basics

Don't Be Sold On Basics

We talked about how many smart lighting brands—regardless of price—are powered by the same generic smart chip under the hood. Different logos, same engine.

Let’s take it one step further.

🚘 Imagine walking into a car showroom…

…and the salesperson confidently tells you: “This car can go forward! It can turn left and right! And guess what—it has wipers!”

You’d probably raise an eyebrow and think: “Isn’t that just… expected?”

You might even walk away, wondering if the product’s quality is as questionable as the sales pitch.

💡 Unfortunately, this happens in smart lighting too.

Every day, homeowners get sold on “smart light features” that sound incredible—
But in reality, they’re just basic functions nearly every system can do:

❌ “You can turn it on/off with your phone!”

❌ “It works with Google!”

❌ “You can dim it!”

❌ “You can change the colour temperature!”

If that’s the highlight of the pitch, it’s time to be cautious.

What Makes Yeelight Pro Different (and Better):

It doesn't just do the basics—it goes beyond what most “smart” systems can offer.

Here are just a few standout features:

✔️ Proprietary smart chip – designed specifically for lighting
✔️ Ultra-smooth dimming & colour temperature control – flicker-free fades from warm to cool, down to nightlight levels
✔️ Reset Lock & easy device replacement – no accidental resets, no broken automations
✔️ Multi-location control – manage grouped lights, scenes, and even multiple homes—all from one app & one account
✔️ Works with Apple HomeKit, Google, Alexa, SmartThings, Matter—and more

👉 And that’s just the start.

Yeelight Pro is built for performance, design, and total smart home flexibility.

🧠 Don’t Be Sold on Basics

If a vendor’s main selling point is highlighting basic features like “app control” or “voice activation”… they’re selling you the steering wheel and calling it a luxury car.

At Host Systems, we show you what actually matters—and help you build a smart lighting setup that’s beautiful, reliable, and future-ready.
