As homes are becoming smarter, they are also becoming more difficult to use. That's why we formed Brilliant - to make it fun and easy to interact directly with your home, no mobile apps required. By replacing an existing light switch with a Brilliant Control, anyone in your home can control lighting, music, and other smart home products with a simple touch or voice command. Amazon Alexa is built in so you can ask it anything. You can even customize the room with seasonal art and personal photos to create the perfect home environment. Affordable and installed in minutes, the Brilliant Control brings the convenience of smart home control to everyone.
