HomeKit is now available in macOS Mojave and Koogeek puts the accessories

When we talk about HomeKit we find that there are many users who do not know what it means today, but when we tell them that it is home automation things change. Apple launched the HomeKit brand some time ago to turn our house into a slightly smarter home and after a few years in which these accessories could only be controlled through iOS devices, With the arrival of macOS Mojave, HomeKit became compatible with Mac and now we can already enjoy a good number of smart devices like the ones Koogeek offers us.

Turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat, flip a switch, or create a setting that controls all the options It is now possible from our Mac with the Home app. You can easily and securely control the products you use at home, and all this from anywhere as long as you have internet available on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac.

The LED smart Light Strip LS1

Today we have the LS1 LED strip, but as we say there are many accessories that Koogeek offers us. In this case we speak of an LED strip smart with a measure of 2m that it is compatible with 1600 colors (it allows to change colors but not mix them) and that it is also waterproof with IP65 certification although its use is recommended for indoor use. The LED strip needs connection to the wall or to a USB port of a television, computer or similar. It works in 2.4Ghz and has a energy efficiency A ++ which indicates that its consumption is minimal.

The strip can be cut to the desired size but be careful, since once cut it cannot be spliced ​​again so be careful before carrying out this step. On the other hand add a sticker to the entire back that allows us to easily place it anywhere as long as the surface is smooth, dry and clean, such as: a wall, on the bed, cabinets, behind televisions (to have an ambilight effect), sofas, stairs or anywhere.

It is important to note that the Koogeek LS1 LED strip is purely decorative so don't expect a great light output even though it is quite bright. On the other hand, we can regulate the colors, intensity or create our own environment in a simple way with the Home app in macOS Mojave.
