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.

The ability to fine tune your desired kelvin has been removed. Prior, you were able to select most anywhere in the kelvin range. Now it has been changed to notches with pre selected kelvin values, and no ability to select in between. You can also no longer time your lights to turn off using a scene. Before, you could create a scene with the lights off, then activate that scene to shut off your lights over time. Now, no matter what the "apply over" time is set to, the lights shut off immediately

I love lifx products, but that is IF the control app works. I've not been able to get the app to open for 5 or 6 updates now. it crashes immediately. I've uninstalled ans reinstalled multiple times but no luck. Thankfully Googlehome can control the bulbs, but doesn't provide control of the features that I like about the lifx products .

I was a beta tester and the most recent update broke the ability to edit or delete schedules, and made the app lag when I tried to change light settings. (Lag was within the app, not between the app and the bulb.) I left the beta and now it works perfectly again. No lag, instantly responsive, and editing schedules works again. I have no trouble navigating the app, either.
