iLighting 是一款智能灯控APP,主要为那些工作忙碌又爱好生活享受的人提供一种便利，iLighting通过BLE4.0和灯进行配对，配对成功后便可以： 1.按自己喜好进行灯的颜色变换，颜色样式采用RGB格式，用户可以随意组合 2.选取自动控制方式，让灯随着音乐进行颜色变幻 3.在蓝牙连接范围内（0-120米）开关灯，天冷就不用起来按开关 4.设置定时开关灯，让灯在指定的时间内进行关灯 5.播放手机里的歌曲，这个功能是通过蓝牙2.1来实现的 注：直接按开关时，该智能灯泡和普通灯泡一样，缺省是白光 本次发布的是基础版本，只支持一个智能灯的连接和管理，后续会增加多个或分组智能灯的管理和控制

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RemoteMaster at 2.6 against iLighting's 1.6. RemoteMaster also leads on review sentiment (14% vs 0%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). iLighting's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
