Smart LED Christmas Lights
If you don’t mind spending to deck your house out in elegant style this Christmas, why not invest in some Twinkly Smart Decorations?

the perfect addition to your connected home. You’ll be able to use either Alexa
or Google Assistant for hands-free control as long as you have a smart speaker.
Using the slick app, you create some unique and customizable
effects on your Christmas tree with these energy-efficient LEDs.
If you’re a little more creative, you can harness the advanced functionality like custom drawing and LED mapping. Use pre-loaded effects, too, and take the helm in-app for remote control with your feet up.
You’ll have access to fully updatable firmware. Twinkly
frequently offer new animations for free download so you can keep things fresh.
Rated for outdoor use and capable of 30,000 hours of use, these smart LEDs might not be particularly cheap, but they’ll bring the house down this Christmas. Why not treat yourself?

Inflatable Outdoor Santa
Nothing says Christmas quite like an inflatable Santa.
The smart factor to this
traditional decoration comes in the form of LEDs baked in. You’ll get a
life-sized 5-foot Santa with the lights lending an air of allure to your yard.
The ground stakes and rope for
lashing Father Christmas in place come bundled so you’ll be good to go. Your
inflatable will fill in minutes flat and ready to welcome in your next holiday
visitors.
Flame Effect LED Lightbulb
Here’s yet another creative way to use smart LEDs in the form of this flame effect bulb.
Best used in a frosted lampshade,
pop in these 200-lumen flickering lights and add a warm layer of coziness to
the den this Christmas.
As an added kicker, thanks to the
Watts of Love project, a portion of your purchase will be used to help those
struggling without electricity.
What can you do if you want
remote control of these lights, then?
Well, you can accomplish that by
popping them into a lamp and then using a smart plug?
Smart Plug for Indoor and Outdoor Lighting
Smart plugs allow you to update the intelligence of
traditional lamps and other small appliances.
If you’re looking to take remote control of the flame effect
LEDs above, why not invest in the Insteon Remote Control On/Off
Module?
Also available in a free version, you’ll also need the Insteon Hub Central Controller for remote control. With this in place, you’ll have the foundation to build out an ambitious connected home with the mighty Insteon ecosystem.
If you’re looking for something to jazz up Christmas but lasting through the rest of the year, too, consider one of these awesome smart plugs from the legendary Insteon.
Final Word
Well, we hope that the selection of smart Christmas
decorations has got your creative juices going.
As a parting shot, we’d strongly recommend investing in a smart speaker so you can get the most from automation. Whether you want the revamped original Echo third-generation, the upscale Echo Studio, or one of the new compact smart displays, adding an Echo device to the mix gives you hands-free control of your Christmas decorations.
