Brilliant (https://www.brilliant.tech/) today introduced (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/brilliant-introduces-smart-home-control-for-everyone-300403993.html) the Brilliant Control (https://www.brilliant.tech/collections/all/products/brilliant-control-single-switch-smart-lighting-smart-home-control), designed to replace an existing light switch and provide homeowners with a range of smart home controls.

Brilliant Control has a 5-inch touchscreen with swipe-based lighting, music, and climate controls, and homeowners can interact directly with other smart home devices, such as the Nest thermostat, So**s speakers, Philips Hue lights, Ring doorbells, and the Honeywell Lyric. It also works with IFTTT and SmartThings and Wink hubs.
In addition to touch capabilities, the Brilliant Control has both a built-in microphone and speaker for native voice control and Amazon Alexa services. The idea is that users can control their smart homes without taking out their smartphone, which Brilliant co-founder Aaron Emigh described as "clumsy.""While re**vating my house, it was important to me that anyone in any room could adjust lighting, music, and climate control as easily as flipping a light switch," said Emigh. "Requiring a mobile phone and apps to adjust your environment is clumsy, and for guests or children, it's impossible."Nevertheless, Brilliant said it will offer a free companion app for iOS and Android.
The control features 720x1,280 resolution, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to interact with other smart home devices, a video camera with a physical cover for added security, motion detection, and compatibility with existing security systems. Brilliant told MacRumors that HomeKit support could be added later if consumer demand is strong e**ugh.
Brilliant Controls cost $199 each and are available for pre-order (https://www.brilliant.tech/collections/all/products/brilliant-control-single-switch-smart-lighting-smart-home-control) beginning today. The first 1,000 customers will receive an early-bird price of $149. Two, three, and four switch models (https://www.brilliant.tech/collections/all) are also available for $249, $299, and $349 respectively. Shipping is expected to begin in late summer 2017.
Alternatively: Best Buy has the iPad mini 2 on sale (https://api.bestbuy.com/click/-/8881067/pdp) for $215. MacRumors is an affiliate partner with Best Buy.
