HÄFELE AMERICA
The Häfele Connect Smart Home now includes the new Häfele Connect BLE box — working in concert with the Häfele Connect app (currently available in the Android and iOS app stores) to o er customization of household lights, sound systems, and more.
The new Connect BLE box (BLE stands for Bluetooth Low Energy) is the hardware conduit between Häfele’s Loox LED Lighting System and its Connect app. With both of these in place, users can control individual lights (on/ o , brightness, color temperature with multi white lights, and light color with RGB lights). The system also allows for custom light scenes or time-controlled changes to the brightness and light colors. Through the smartphone or tablet app, a user can control a single BLE box or an entire network of BLE boxes in various rooms throughout the home. The Häfele Connect BLE box can be easily retro ed for use in previous Loox LED installations as well as integrated into new projects. www.hafele.com
