Lidl Home: new home automation features on March 1st

News February 9 2021 2 minutes

UpdateMarch 6, 2021

Did you like the Lidl Home home automation range? U.S. too ! And, that's good, because the hard discounter does not intend to stop there and will propose 1er March 2021 two new products in its Livarno Lux and SilverCrest ranges, as well as starter kits for those who have not yet taken the plunge. So let's peel this new catalog that we have purchased exclusively ...

SilverCrest: a USB power strip connected in ZigBee at 19.99 €

It was still missing from the French catalog, here it is: the SilverCrest connected power strip will be available in Lidl France stores from Monday March 1st at the price of 19.99 €.

Equipped with 3 AC outlets individually controllable and 4 USB-A ports, it is the multiple counterpart of the very effective although bulky ZigBee SilverCrest connected socket. Using the same protocol, it will obviously also require a SilverCrest gateway Smart Home yes one hub Tuya. At less than 20 €, it should be all the rage!

Please note, our first tests lead us to believe that this power strip is neither Philips Hue compatible, nor with Pregnant Amazon Echo with an integrated bridges. However, no problem with a Tuya hub.

Livarno Lux: connected outdoor wall lights at € 29.99

This is the main novelty of the coming March 1, Lidl will also offer connected outdoor LED wall lights in ZigBee under the brand Livarno Lux.

Declined in three versions, these outdoor wall lights IP44 will allow you to illuminate your gardens and terraces with their variable whites and 16 million colors… All this at low prices, as usual, since they will be offered at 29.99 € / unit. Please note, stocks will be limited!

Home automation starter sets at 49.99 €

We had regretted his absence a little and many are likely to blame themselves for having thrown themselves a little quickly on the first batch: here is the starter pack Livarno Lux.

Compound three Livarno Lux E27 bulbs, An ZigBee 3.0 remote control to control scenes and light intensity, as well as the essential SilverCrest gateway, this starter set is reminiscent of the Dutch Philips Hue. Except that it will be offered at only 49.99 €, which is like getting a free remote versus unit purchases.

Will this product be available individually? A priori no, not for the moment.

The following products will also be back:

Lidl also offer starter sets smart home the 1er March 2021

Hello, do you know if we can use this zigbee footbridge with tuya /Smart life and thus connect and control non-lidl zigbee products?

I took the plunge, and I must say that the products are quality and quite affordable. The Lidl Home application is rich and stable (1 bugs in a week). We can do routines with timers. Google home does not know how to do it! When are the door contacts and motion detectors?

Hello,
On Tuya no problem, it's Tuya. We have associated a few products with it without problem, but it is difficult to say if this is true for all as there are so many Tuya connected objects.

I preferred to take the app smart life which is almost the same as Lidl home but which may be better monitored!
I ordered a "Tuya ZigBee 4 gang wireless 12 stage push button switch" control button and I will tell you if it is compatibe!

This is without a doubt the choice to be made… “Powered by Tuya” apps always have slower and less frequent updates. Regarding the same techno, we might as well take that of the manufacturer. 😉

Hello,
You need to turn to Tuya compatible switches and obviously use this app and not Lidl's. It is exactly the same, but much more complete.
I invite you to consult these two articles:
- Choose a switch
- Tutorial Tuya / Smart Life
Good discovery ! 😉

Hello,
A priori it blocks, we also encounter difficulties. We will try to explore the Hue Essentials track, an application that can come in handy in this case. 😉

Hello,
Turn to Zemismart. It is Tuya compatible, therefore with the Lidl gateway.
Here are two good products:
- [TEST] Zemismart : ZigBee switch without Tuya neutral / Smart Life
- [TEST] Zemismart : a ZigBee switch without neutral and without worries!
