Light Bulb
A smart bulb screws into a standard socket and adds dimming, color, and scheduling to any lamp or fixture. It is the fastest way to make existing lighting smart without rewiring.
A smart bulb drops into the sockets you already have and brings brightness, color or tunable white, and scheduling under Home Assistant control. It is the lowest-effort way to make a room’s lighting smart, with no wiring changes.
How Selora AI uses light bulbs
- Adaptive lighting that shifts brightness and color temperature through the day.
- Scene control so one trigger sets the right look across a room’s bulbs.
- Presence and schedule recipes such as wake-up fades, away-mode simulation, and auto-off in empty rooms.
Why bulbs are the easy entry point
A smart bulb needs no electrician, so it is the simplest device to retrofit. It also fills the generic light role, so any recipe that just needs “a light” can use it. See [[light-strip]], [[light-fixture]], and [[outdoor-light]] for the other lighting form factors.
