Smart Homes Should Fit You, Not the Other Way Around

Smart Homes Should Fit You, Not the Other Way Around

🚨 Heard these before?

1️⃣ “To use our smart lights, you must use our smart switch.”

👉 Sounds smart, but if the light is already smart and can dim or change colour temperature on its own, that switch may be unnecessary — even risky. It could cause connectivity issues, especially if it’s a non-neutral switch.

2️⃣ “To enjoy smart lighting, you’ll need the light, a smart module, and a specific switch.”

👉 That’s not a solution — it’s a clumsy upsell. You’re buying 3 things just to turn on one light. Our Yeelight Pro lights are already smart out of the box (except strips), no extra modules needed.

3️⃣ “You want smart lighting? Just buy smart switches. Any of our lights will become smart!”

👉 It’s an easy sell for vendors because they don’t have to limit your light options. But here’s the catch: smart switches alone can’t give you the mood or ambiance true smart lighting offers.

4️⃣ “You want smart lights? Just use smart bulbs with regular fittings.”

👉 Possible, but don’t expect the same quality. Smart bulbs often sacrifice light performance compared to integrated smart fixtures.

If the above sounds familiar… it’s time to walk away.

✅ At Host Systems, we don’t believe in shoehorning you into one rigid setup. We offer multiple ways (integrated smart lights, smart switches, smart bulbs, smart modules) to configure smart lighting, so you’re never forced to compromise on design, performance, or budget.

💡 Whether you want dimmable downlights, colour-changing strips, motion-controlled scenes, or voice-controlled ambience — we design it around you.

No bloated bundles. No duplicate devices. Just thoughtful, flexible, smart lighting done right.
