Brilliant, provider of smart home control, smart lighting and home automation systems, has launched a new “install it anywhere” plug-in version of its popular Smart Home Control Panels. Brilliant controls the most popular smart home products from companies like Ring, Google Nest, Sonos, Philips Hue, Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, August, Honeywell Home, Resideo, ecobee, TP-Link, Samsung SmartThings, Genie, Hunter Douglas, Somfy and more.

Additionally, Brilliant functions as a whole home lighting system with built-in motion detection, which can be expanded with Brilliant Smart Dimmer Switches and Smart Plugs, an audio/video intercom system to communicate with people in different rooms, and an alarm system controller when paired with a Resideo Security System. It also offers built-in Amazon Alexa voice control with visual responses and integrates with Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit/Siri.

The new product allows all homeowners, renters and professional installers to transform any house or apartment into a smart one with a touchscreen-based control and automation system that controls popular smart home products.

“We’re excited to bring this new plug-in model to the Brilliant Home Control Panel lineup, providing more flexibility for installation and expanding the addressable market for complete smart home control systems at an affordable price,” said Aaron Emigh, CEO and founder of Brilliant. “A plug-in version of our home control panel has long been a top request from consumers interested in the smart home, especially those that live in rentals or older homes, as well as from the professional installer and security dealer communities — and now it’s finally here!”

The Brilliant Smart Home System uses touchscreen panels with built-in voice control and an all-in-one Brilliant mobile app. Anyone can walk up to a Brilliant Control Panel and instantly access all of the smart devices and experiences available in the home without needing to use a phone, download an app or know or remember what voice command to say. Brilliant provides numerous ways to control and automate a home: intuitive smart home-specific touchscreen menus, built-in voice control, customizable home automation scenes, programmable touch sliders/switches, and a single app to control the entire home.
