Wi-Fi: The Familiar Powerhouse, Perfect for Newbies

Key Features and Benefits:

• Ubiquitous:Most homes already have Wi-Fi, making integration of smart devices straightforward.

He loves how his Sengled Wi-Fi lights, like this color A19/E26 bulb, connect to his existing network and don’t require a large investment in hubs and other devices.
