Brainy solid state bulbs bring a whole new level of control and functionality to the home. Smart LEDs control indoor environments by connecting to a lighting hub or an Internet-of-Things device like Google Nest. Over Bluetooth, WiFi, or similar protocols, users can easily control lighting and integrated functions like music and security. Meanwhile, "LiFi" networks that transmit data using LEDs are poised to give wireless protocols a run for the money with more secure, narrowly focused transmission. The future is not coming to a light bulb near you, it's already here.
