About this app

Like you, LIFX wants smarter light. This means we care about the way you control your smart lights, as much as we do about the lights themselves. We make it easy to get started with WiFi-enabled, bright, colorful smart lights that need no hub. Yep, you can start with just one device.

LIFX App can not only help give you the best start, but will turn your experience “up to 11”. Automate your wake up Schedule, or set up your movie-watching Scene (then set up voice control so you don’t even have to leave the sofa), or play with Effects next time you’re entertaining.


Features.

The LIFX app is packed full of features like:

- The Basics: on/off, dim, change color, change white temperature.

- Groups: control all lights in a group easily, including on/off and dimming with one touch from the Home Dashboard.

- Group personalization: choose a LIFX illustration to suit or personalize Group cards with your own pictures.

- Schedules: automate your lights to fade, change color, and turn on/off, all visible in an easy calendar-style view.

- Effects: play with special effects like the music visualizer, fire, move, candle flicker, strobe, color cycle & more, all in one place.

- Scenes: set your lighting just the way you like it and save it for later.

- Themes: a library of one click color combinations for a Group, from ‘Proud’ to ‘Soothing’.

- Paint: with your finger in the app, paint color live onto your LIFX Z, Beam, Tile and Candle.

- Custom color palettes: add your favorite colors to a custom color palette.

- Discover Tab: find How To guides, learn about integration partners, or shop for LIFX

- Switches: configure switches to control your LIFX lights, groups and scenes, as well as other non-LIFX devices

- and much more.




Example uses from our customers:

- Ambiance: schedule warmer light in the evening - to calm - and whiter light in the morning - to energize.

- “Moccupancy”: set irregular schedules to make it seem like you’re home when you’re not.

- Sleep: set your bedroom lights to deep red just before bed to produce more melatonin which helps you get better quality sleep.

- Stay put: you’ve settled into the sofa for a streaming binge but left the lights on. No need to jump up to the switch, just ask your voice assistant.

- Pet owners: if you're unexpectedly late home from work, turn the lights on for your dog from wherever you are.

- Silent notifications: use partner apps to give you a light flash if… your car is arriving, or the forecast says it will rain, or you are mentioned on social media, and much more.

Having tremendous difficulties with the application and keeping my lights communication with my phone. Been waiting over a week for support now. I could not recommend these lights at all right now. Just to add to how poor of an experience it is to use this app, ads via notifications that cannot be disabled if you want any notifications for lights... Just garbage

This app is hot garbage. It actually enrages me that I can't find a dev job while someone got paid to make this. The widget doesn't ever work, it constantly forgets what lights I've added to it, and it forgets whether those lights are on or off. Opening the app itself is only marginally better. I have to force stop and restart almost every time I want to do anything with my lights. It's been like this for ages, no one is interested in improving the customer experience.

The notification ads had me questioning whether to uninstall, but fortunately, this app just doesn't let me connect lights anymore anyway. "Light claim failed" every time. As they slowly crash themselves one by one (a weekly occurrence normally) and fall off my network for good, I can rest easy in the knowledge that I will NEVER be buying another one of these stupid $50 bulbs again. There's no way to fix them anymore. It's over. Thank god. I can throw them all in the trash and move on.
