The concept is simple but breakthrough. It is the marriage of smart electronics and Bluetooth 4.0 (also sometimes referred to Bluetooth low energy / BLE). Every Bluetooth Smart product utilizes BLE as the wireless connection to the on board processor, real time clocks, memory and more. Installing the product is as easy as plugging the switch to different home appliances or screwing the converter to light bulb. This can be simply controlled from any Bluetooth Smart Ready enabled Mobile device, with customizable apps for IOS
