Technical Requirements:
To control this HomeKit-enabled accessory, the latest version of iOS or iPadOS is recommended. An internet/data connection is required while setting up Apple HomeKit as you will need to connect your LIFX product to your Wi-Fi access point/router. Controlling this HomeKit-enabled accessory automatically and away from home requires a HomePod, Apple TV, or iPad set up as a home hub. It is recommended that you update to the latest software and operating system. Use of the Works with Apple HomeKit logo means that an electronic accessory has been designed to connect specifically to iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad, respectively, and has been certified by the developer to meet Apple performance standards.

Care

• Lightstrip
  Do not cut the Lightstrip. Do not bend pin connectors. Maximum bend 90°, do not bend the Lightstrip on the LED. Apply once. Do not remove and reapply. Extend up to 10m / 33′ with a max 30W.

• Additional accessories
  You can get extension cables to customize your LIFX Lightstrip to suit different places. Cables help you run your lightstrip around corners, across and through gaps and more. Be careful when connecting the lightstrip into the connector cable. The pins can be fractionally different in alignment and forcing the pins in incorrectly will cause damage. Connect the lightstrip with connector cable with the curved surface oriented upwards to avoid damaging the pins.

FAQS

• What type of Wi-Fi do I need?
  Like many devices, LIFX lights connect to the 2.4 Ghz band of Wi-Fi, not 5 Ghz. If you have more than one available network on your router, this could mean you are connected to 5Ghz and need to try your other network. Almost all Wi-Fi routers will have a 2.4 GHz band so if you only have one network you will likely be on the right one to get started.

• How do I reset a light to factory settings?
  Turn the light off and on at the switch 5 times, about one switch a second (not too fast). The lights will cycle through four colors or whites and stop on white when the reset has been successful. This is how you would remove a light from a network to then add it to a new one.

• I’ve set up a new network / changed my password, how do I re-connect my lights?
  If you’ve changed your Wi-Fi password or set up a new router with a new password, you will need to reset your lights and connect them through the app as you did the fi rst time you connected them. This is so you can assign the new, correct password for the security of each device.

• How do I connect other devices and services like Voice control or IFTTT?
  This can vary depending on the service you’d like to use. You can fi nd out about major partner products LIFX work well with at LIFX.com. For advice on connecting services you can fi nd instructions for these at go.LIFX.com
