Brilliant Unveils Innovative Plug-In Smart Home Control Panels

Brilliant, a US-based smart home manufacturer known for their touch control and display panels, has introduced a new version of their popular Smart Home control panels. This innovative release is a versatile plug-in version that can be installed anywhere, making it accessible to homeowners, renters, and expert installers. It brings the latest smart home technology to any property, whether it's a house or an apartment.

Featuring an easy-to-use touchscreen interface, this system allows users to control a wide range of smart home devices, providing extensive control and automation capabilities. Brilliant initially launched their collection of Smart Home Control Panels in October 2018, specifically designed to be installed in light switch locations in homes. These panels seamlessly integrated into conventional electrical boxes, requiring a neutral and ground wire connection. This installation method offered a quick, hassle-free, and cost-effective way for most people to incorporate a control system into their homes.

However, until now, there were certain segments unable to partake in the exceptional Brilliant smart home experience. This includes individuals living in older homes without neutral or ground wires, apartment dwellers without access to their wiring, those uncomfortable with home wiring, and professional installers and security dealers without electrical installation licenses.

Features:

• Simple Smart Control for Everyone: Brilliant touchscreen panels with built-in Alexa make it easy for anyone in the household to control popular smart devices, including lights, cameras, locks, thermostats, intercoms, scenes, and more by simply replacing a light switch.
• Installs on Any Wall and Doesn't Require a Neutral Wire: This plug-in panel can be mounted on any wall and plugged into any outlet. It includes a 5-inch LCD touchscreen, built-in camera with privacy shutter, and a built-in motion sensor.
• Smart Lighting: Convert regular bulbs into smart bulbs (supports LED, CFL, halogen, incandescent, dimmable, and multi). Control smart lights from brands like Hue, LIFX, and Kasa TP-Link. Control lights through touch, voice, built-in motion detection, scenes, or an app.
• In-Wall Sonos, Ring, and Smart Lock Control: Easily find and play music through Sonos speakers, see who's at the door with a Ring Video Doorbell, and unlock the door with a compatible smart lock—all without needing a phone.
• Eliminate Voice Assistant Clutter from Countertops: Place Amazon Alexa in your walls and enjoy the convenience of built-in, uncluttered voice control with audio and visual responses from a touchscreen panel on your wall.

Priced at $399, the Plug-In Home Control Panel opens the doors for everyone to embrace the exceptional Brilliant experience. This aligns with Brilliant's goal of transforming all homes into effortlessly navigable smart spaces. The Plug-In Panel offers the flexibility of wall mounting using screws and comes with a power cable and adapter for easy connection to any available power outlet. The cable can be discreetly routed along the wall surface or hidden within the wall.

The Brilliant Smart Home Control Plug-In Panel is available for purchase at www.brilliant.tech and Amazon. Brilliant's wired control panels, smart dimmer switches, and smart plugs are also available at www.brilliant.tech, Amazon, Best Buy, and Home Depot. Authorized contractors and installers can find Brilliant products for sale at ADI Global Distribution and other regional distributors. ADI will offer the Brilliant Smart Home Control Plug-In Panel starting October 2023.

The compatibility of the Plug-In Panel with HomeKit is not entirely clear. It is likely that the wireless controls will be exposed to HomeKit, enabling users to control their preferred devices. However, further clarification will be provided as more information becomes available.
