The inventor of Philips Hue is concerned by ‘crap’ smart lighting rivals

Hue inventor on ‘crap’ smart bulbs
Philips Hue launched in October 2012, "marking a new era in home lighting" according to its makers. Back then, it was almost impossible to dispute its claim of being "the world's smartest bulb".
Fast forward three years and Philip's is still, without doubt, leading the way in LED smart lighting. That said, there is an ever-growing army of rivals to its crown. The likes of Misfit, Belkin, MiPow, Sony and LIFX all have Wi-Fi connected lighting in their armoury and, with smart home systems such asBrillo and HomeKit making it easier than ever to connect traditional household items to the net, the pressure is well and truly on.
