Twinkly updates its Christmas lights to be HomeKit compatible

Great news for owners of Twinkly's gorgeous Christmas lights: a new firmware update finally makes them compatible with HomeKit.

Christmas is coming and the colored lights take on more presence than ever, it is the perfect occasion to decorate the interior and / or exterior of the house with a striking lighting system, and the possibilities offered by the new intelligent lighting systems controllable from our smartphone are huge. Twinkly stands out above all other manufacturers for its systems adaptable to a multitude of decorative elements, its easy configuration system, its fantastic application that allows you total control of animations, colors and designs, all in a very simple way, suitable for any type of user. And now it is also compatible with HomeKit.

I've been using this lighting system for my Christmas tree for a couple of years now, and I couldn't be happier with it, although I always had that "shame" of not being able to use HomeKit to control it. Well, the satisfaction is already total because the firmware update is already available that allows you to use Siri, automations and environments to also control these decorative lights. All Generation II systems are compatible, everything is done from the Twinkly application itself in just a few minutes. I can now integrate the Christmas tree lights into the automations that turn my house lights on and off depending on the time of day and if someone is home, or by asking Siri from HomePod or my iPhone.

They are not cheap LED lights, but without the slightest doubt they are worth it. Resistant to interiors and exteriors, with infinity of colors and the possibility of creating designs from your own iPhone using the camera, these lights are sure to animate this Christmas in which we can finally enjoy with family and friends the most anticipated parties of the world. anus. A system of 250 LEDs, more than enough for a tree like the one you see in the image, is priced at € 109 on Amazon (link). For smaller trees you have kits of 100 LEDs for € 69 (link)
