Hey @scott_dunlap, @gaurav_hardikar and @michael_williams, Tell us more about what you've built here and how does it differ from other similar products out there?
Michael Williams
Hi @jacqvon -- glad to be here. Let's start at the beginning. Unfortunately, the promise of the smart home has remained unfulfilled. Rather than living simpler lives, we control our homes through a maze of apps on our phones and clutter our tables and countertops with devices and cords. That didn't seem "smart" to us so we wanted to create a new technology that makes controlling your home a pleasure, not a chore. In comes Brilliant which is creating a new category of products which we call "smart home controllers." Brilliant replaces any existing light switch to give you touch and voice control over your smart home products. From lights, music, climate, security, and doorbells to whatever comes next we have you covered when it comes to smart home control. Brilliant combines many capabilities into a unified experience on a panel that fits seamlessly into your wall. Because it replaces a light switch, you instantly get smart lighting capabilities as well as all the other types of home control. Amazon Alexa is built in, so you can ask for weather, news, and more without the need for an Echo. There is also video intercom, babycam/nannycam, a mobile app for remote access, the ability to personalize the display with your photos and motion art, and new features being rolled out on a regular basis. Brilliant comes in four models, which replace a single switch, or a row of two, three, or four switches. If you can install a light switch, you can install your Brilliant in minutes. No custom wiring, modifications, or remote hubs required. You can find Brilliant in different 6 colors and finishes. All models include dimming, motion-based control, and compatibility with standard multiway lighting circuits. Additionally, for remote home control, we offer Android and iOS companion apps. We'll be here much of the day to answer any and all questions. :-) Bring it on PH Community.

Allowing everyone that lives in my home to control it, is awesome. Before everyone had to borrow my iPhone to play a song, see who's ringing at the dor, opening another app to open the door... it was ridiculous, and not so smart. Now everyone has access to the capabilities of each room, since every room has a light switch. No cords or wiring across tables, etc. Everything is build in my walls now. Love it!

Pros:

Connects with all the smart home devices I own. Allows everyone to have access. Swapped 6 different apps on my phone for the companion app.

Cons:

~15 min to swap the light switch.

Thanks for everyone for participating in our first ever AMA here on Product Hunt. If you ever have more questions, we're here for you -- feedback is always welcome.

Way overpriced; you can basically do the same thing with a cheap tablet with or without hass.io running on it.. but if you're lazy and don't want to do the DIY stuff and/or got money burning in your pocket then this product is for you!
Martin Hall
Look's like a great product I see the product works with ring, how about the nest hello doorbell?, also are there any planned integrations with home automation system's like smartthings, logitech remotes etc
Scott Dunlap
Thanks, @martin_hall! Yes, we work with the Ring doorbell. Nest Hello currently doesn't offer API integration, but when they do, you can expect we will add it to our list of supported Nest products (along with the thermostats). We will update your Brilliant Control automatically when that becomes available. And we do currently integrate with SmartThings hubs, particularly for lights and locks. You can expect more integrations to be announced soon!

No 240v love?
Scott Dunlap
@alexgrundy Just 120v for now, but 240v is definitely on our radar for 2019-2020!
Gareth
@alexgrundy @scott_dunlap Would love for Brilliant to come out with 220-240v versions. There’s just nothing quite like this product in the EU market
Fred
Can I be your first UK Beta Tester? 😉
Scott Dunlap
You bet, @fredsoneya!
David Hornik

Integrated with Alexa and Google, you can use the touch screen or google voice.

Pros:

A smart hub for the home that conveniently Replaces a standard light switch. Works with Sonos, Ring, smart lighting. completely awesome.

Cons:

will want to replace all your switches

Chris Moore

I really like the touch controls. Will become more and more useful over time too as their list if integrations grow.

Pros:

Just works. The missing link to a truly connected home.

Cons:

Not much - install takes about 30 min but was kind of fun.

Is it secure
Scott Dunlap
@jonasalmut Yes, there are many security features built in. Full encryption, secure password processes, and even a physical slider that can cover the camera to give you peace of mind. Our founders come from a deep security background, so the Brilliant Controls were designed with security in mind from day one.
