A collaboration between Signify, formerly Philips Lighting, and indoor motion sensing firm Origin AI is using IoT to drive innovation in smart homes.

Maryland-based Origin AI is collaborating with Signify to create the foundation for innovations in lighting and devices in the home.

Signify specialises in LED and connected lighting products, systems and services. Through its innovations, it unlocks the potential of light for brighter lives. This is a key relationship for Signify as it continues to innovate in LED technology and expand connected lighting systems. 

The partnership with Origin AI will focus on long-term initiatives, targeting innovation for the connected home and continuing to transform the experience of residential living. The goal is to create home automations across lighting and devices such as smart plugs for homes based on motion detection via wifi sensing, triggering lights and devices to turn on automatically when they detect motion. They also plan to innovate in home monitoring using wifi motion sensing to help users better understand what is happening in the home.

“Lighting is uniquely positioned in the smart home due to its presence in every room and daily interactions,” said Maikel Klomp, executive vice president at Signify (www.signify.com). “In partnership with Origin AI, we are designing lighting with opportunities that go beyond simple illumination. We look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of innovation in the smart home space to enhance the experiences our customers have with our lighting.”

Spencer Maid, CEO of Origin AI, added: “We are very excited about the potential that this partnership will bring. Signify’s global reputation and standing as an industry leader in lighting innovation is a great fit for Origin’s mission to leverage our AI technology for disruptive innovations that create exceptional customer experiences and make people’s lives easier, safer and more secure.”
