Control devices and groups

Switch lights, adjust brightness and color, and group devices by room to switch a whole room with one tap — with screenshots.

Updated:

Screenshots show the app in Vietnamese. The English app has the same screens, with the buttons in the same places.

The Home screen

Home has two sections, Devices and Groups. Tap a card to open its controls. Lights and plugs have a quick on/off switch right on the card.

Controlling a device

  • Dimmable lights: tap the large bulb or the power button to switch on or off, drag the Brightness slider. Tunable-white lights also have a warm ↔ cool arc. See Smart lights.
  • Color lights: choose Colors or White, pick a color on the wheel, adjust brightness; use Effect to let the light change colors by itself.
  • Multi-gang switches: tap each button to switch it. See Smart switches.
  • The ⋮ button opens Device info: rename, see the version, Auto-repair (use it when the device doesn’t respond), Delete device.

Icons always show the real state

When you tap, the app briefly shows Sending…. The icon only changes once the device has actually switched, so what you see in the app always matches reality. If a command can’t get through, the app tells you why.

Groups — devices by room

  1. Home → Groups → +.

  2. On New group, enter a Group name (e.g. “Living room”), choose a Background (a color or a room picture) and tap Create.

Controlling a group: tap the group card to open the group page. The power button in the bottom bar switches the whole room; Brightness, Colors and Color temperature appear depending on the lights in it. Air conditioners, TVs and Wi-Fi plugs in a group need an Internet connection.
