Light Control Pro

I developed Light Control Pro because I wanted a straightforward application with shortcuts to manage my smart lights, as existing solutions didn't satisfy my preferences. This project allowed me to design an intuitive, efficient tool for controlling my Wiz smart bulbs directly from my PC. Light Control Pro provides real-time adjustments, scene management, and custom keyboard shortcuts, offering a seamless user experience for smart lighting control.

Process and challenges

I began by establishing communication with the smart bulbs, ensuring I could send commands and receive responses. This foundational step was crucial to understand the capabilities and limitations of the bulbs.
Next, I designed and implemented an intuitive user interface. The goal was to make it easy for users to control their lighting setup. I focused on providing a clean, user-friendly experience that would allow for seamless interaction with the bulbs.
To enhance usability, I integrated custom keyboard shortcuts. This feature allows users to quickly adjust lighting settings without navigating through the interface, streamlining their interaction with the application.
I then introduced the concept of rooms, allowing users to group multiple bulbs together. This functionality makes it easier to control multiple bulbs simultaneously and organize the lighting setup more efficiently.
Finally, I added the option for the application to run on system startup. This ensures that the lighting control is always readily available without requiring manual startup, enhancing convenience for the users.

Conclusion and next steps

Light Control Pro provides an intuitive tool for controlling Wiz smart bulbs. Future enhancements include advanced grouping options, improved synchronization between events, personalization features, and optimized messaging algorithms for better performance.
