Sold for less than R$400, Wiz Hero manages to deliver a connected experience that will totally make a difference in your daily life. See what we found!

The options for a connected home continue to emerge and in addition to lamps, the table lamp market has also started to gain options that can be controlled remotely by cell phone or even by voice. One of them is the WiZ Hero, launched in Brazil at the beginning of July 2022, with several color options, which can be activated or deactivated with two simple touches. To tell you how far this LED luminaire can go, several tests were carried out for a week and the results were impressive for a model that seems simple at first glance. Check the details now! 5c1v1l

I define the natural da WiZ Hero as simple but effective. The weight of 720 grams reported by the manufacturer seems much less in practice, even more so because it can be carried with one hand. It feels like picking up a book with about 800 pages.

The plug cord is located on the back and, with a satisfactory length of 1 meter, I was able to easily place it on my headboard and still have room to move without anything being too tight.

There are only three items in the box of the connected luminaire: the plug cord, the product and the manual for possible reference needed. An interesting detail is the activation by two touches on the device, which serves both to turn on and off. It's a very useful feature when going to bed, because if you don't want to give a voice command, just double-tap and the device will stop emitting its light. The button located on the back has the same function.

Connectivity 5h1q1v

I have to say that it took me more than 30 minutes to pair with my internet and the WiZ Hero, as the application available for Android e iOS it's a bit flawed in this step by step. The problem with this factor is that there is no connection Bluetooth for the first pairing and network connection Wi-Fi, so it is important to be patient.

My router is like 2.5GHz (minimum requirement to make use of the desk lamp), but even so, it took me longer than I should just to make the connection. The manufacturer emphasizes in its application that a connection of 5GHz will allow easier pairing, but it would be nice if this facility were simpler for less frequently used access point types. It's not the fact that this is a big problem in use, but it would be interesting if the WiZ to develop a simpler way to connect its product to the 's home internet.

In addition to the manual connection, which works by pressing the on and off button a few times (which didn't work for me), it's possible to wirelessly control it by pairing it with the lamp connection and then typing the . of the connection you use in your day to day, and only then, be able to use it connected. Did it seem tiring? That was the same feeling I had, but at least the process needs to be done only once.

Past the little struggle of connecting the lamp to my connection Wi-Fi, I was finally able to access the color control functionality. Another very interesting feature is the compatibility with the Google Assistant, Alexa, Crab and even the app SmartThings, Samsung. I have only one smartphone Android, but when installing the Google Home, I managed to the WiZ Hero so that the control was carried out by the app of the Google.

Even so, I noticed that the use is more assertive in the manufacturer's app than with the Google. Of course, you will be able to control the intensity and color of the light by voice or by pressing a button on the smartphone, but the special modes are only in the application of the WiZ.

A very interesting feature of this connected luminaire is the lighting modes that adapt according to the type of activity to be performed. If you need light to be more focused, just select the mode Focus and automatically, the color will be changed in the WiZ Hero to a shade of white that won't be distracting.

I have a habit of reading at night and having an accessory with a night light mode was great for me to be able to follow the adventures of Geralt, Yeneffer and Ciri in the third book of The Witcher. Another highlight is the plant growth, which simulates the illumination of ultraviolet lamps.

Want to have a party? A mode just for that is available, performing automatic color switching. The success in these color modes is great precisely because of the WiZ Hero getting out of the spectrum of being “just another table lamp” that will stay in just one room. With 33 lighting options that can have their intensities controlled and a weight that facilitates transport, all I had to do was use the device in the living room or other rooms in the house to have a better experience.

There is nothing negative to say about the intensity of light: the LED lamp can be useful both in darker environments and in those with natural lighting that needs to be improved. In the afternoon, when the sunlight stops hitting my room, this connected lamp was my great partner to not strain my vision and to be able to work without problems.

Conclusion and price 6u2q5m

Of course, a traditional table lamp is much cheaper than traditional table lamps. R$393,60 requested by the smart luminaire, but taking into the modes of use and the connected experience that the WiZ Hero delivery, the investment has an interesting cost-benefit ratio. I missed a possible battery that would guarantee wireless use and in environments without outlets, an improvement that would be very welcome and would only improve the product even more.

A WiZ managed to deliver a device that can be used in several rooms of the house and on several occasions. Connectivity, as much as the first connection is a little difficult, is another positive point that will make it possible for families and people who live alone to be able to make good use of it for a long time, making the investment last for at least 25.000 hours, according to with the manufacturer.
