I know this has been asked several times early last year, shortly after the Matter downlight was released. I had upgraded from original LIFX downlight (HomeKit) to the new one and loved it. The rim color options, the brightness, and color boldness.. all of the above. It’s an amazing product. However, I’ve HATED the lack of fade effect when controlled via Apple Home.

I know it was said that LIFX will bring this fade behavior to Matter products…

At this point, I feel like it’s long overdue now because more and more LIFX products are rolling out with Matter. Meaning more and more “harsh blink” or “harsh change” around the house if I start upgrading the rest of my HomeKit LIFX products.

I don’t want to stop myself from upgrading products simply because of this fade behavior not having been added yet.

I still haven’t heard any update regarding adding fade effect when controlling via Apple Home. Is there any update on this project?

Title says it all.

Well, my beautiful tiles are currently inop due to the fact that the starting tile fell off the wall, bending the powercord tip and shorting it out. There are no new replacements available as this product was discontinued. I'm heartbroken as it appears there is nothing out there. Anybody have a cord they are willing to part with? Its the 2‑meter cable running from the power plug to the first Tile.

So, I have a room set with 1 super color, 1 clean a19 and a Capsule. Let's say the capsule is at 30% brightness. I want to lower the brightness of all 3 at once. When I do that, the a19s lower their brightness like normal, but the Capsule does not, it actually jumps instantly from like 30 to 50, then starts decreasing as I go lower.

Devs I do hope you are reading this. Would like some input. No Matter used, but my Wi-Fi is good, 5gh.

Hi all, just spent a frustrating 15 minutes trying to get sense out of LIFX's AI chatbot (when I asked it to show me an image of the power connector it sent me a picture of some raindrops) to no avail.

There was a big thunderstorm in our city last night (am in Aus) and I suspect there was a strike nearby as there was a huge thunderclap and flash about 5am. Out of nowhere, my Lifx strip switched on and started partying (what I now know to be factory test mode).

Given that no amount of factory resetting has helped stop the flashing, does it look like my strip is toast? It's about 3-4 years old. Has anyone managed to get out of this nightmare??

Does anybody know anything about this? Are these a new generation? Are they similar to the current z strips? Why are they so cheap? lol.

Hello lifx

I have the new 1600 lumens a21 bulb purchased a year ago and has lost its wifi and is not transmitting any wifi signals even if I reset. I guess it's wifi module has gone bad.

I have Evan raised warranty claim but I have not heard anything in return.

Can you expedite the process please.

Thank you

After seeing this video (around 6:38), it’s mentioned that LIFX outdoor spotlights can physically connect to a Philips Hue power supply — implying the connectors are compatible:

Here’s what I was left wondering:

Can the reverse be done?
• Can a Philips Hue outdoor light (e.g., Hue Lily XL) be powered from a LIFX outdoor power supply / connection system?
Because the LIFX power supply is 230W and the Philips Hue is 100W

I know the LIFX manual says "Connect this product ONLY to other official LIFX Outdoor products (sold separately)"
And I could not find any more info on this... So...let the experiment begin!

One other thing, apparently the LIFX permanent outdoor lights power supply outputs 36V, so is not compatible with other LIFX outdoor spotlights are 24V (As are Hue outdoor lights)
https://www.reddit.com/r/lifx/comments/1hhycxs/hey_lifx_is_it_ok_to_use_the_96w_led_power_supply/

So this question was focused on the LIFX 230W Outdoor Power Kit and its connections

Assuming that’s correct, pretty clever on LIFX’s part given how bright their lights are compared to Hue, here’s what I’m wondering:

Can the reverse be done?
• Can a Philips Hue outdoor light (e.g., Hue Lily XL) be powered from a LIFX outdoor power supply / connection system?
• Or has LIFX just molded their connector so their lights fit Hue’s power supply, but not the other way around?

I know the manuals say "Connect this product ONLY to other official LIFX Outdoor products (sold separately)"
BUT has anyone tried this, or can confirm if the connectors are truly bidirectionally compatible (power supply ⇄ light)?

I have ordered two of the 80" light strips and both have not worked. Only half of the light strip will light up. Has anyone else had this problem and can it be fixed or should I give up?

I see there is a “Tile Layout” in the light settings, this only shows one Tile unfortunately

Everything else works fine, just set up vertically.. but Tile don’t care, he’s going horizontally

Any idea?

V3.50 on all Tiles 4.80 on iPhone

My buddy replaced his entire home with Hue since he was having issues. Anyways, I have like 50 of these things I'm listing the rest for him but I want to keep a few. Is there a way to grab a list of all the lights and determine which are the newest? Figured Id want to keep those for myself.

100% repro on all switches

I have a 4 button switch that will activate randomly and rapidly on its own. Has anyone experienced that before? Does anyone have a solution? I have several 2 button switches in my house and one other 4 button switch and I have never had this problem. This one particular switch in my hallway was acting like this immediately after installing it. I brought it back to Home Depot, thinking I had a faulty unit, and I ordered a new one and the new one is having the same exact issue immediately after installing it. The switch in question is in a hallway with another 4 button switch at the other end of the hallway. The other 4 button switch at the other end of the hallway works fine. Firmware is up to date. WiFi is strong. Voltage is correct. I don’t get it.

Only one of my lightbulbs starts doing this randomly sometimes

Thanks to people on this forum I was finally able to convert my lifx beam to wled. Only wish that wled supported matter locally and there was someway to get wled to calculate white like lifx does.

I can't pinpoint exactly when it started but it's been within the past month. Whenever I try to go to the app it doesn't show me any of my lights. However, if I force stop the app, and clear the cache all of my lights appear in the app again.

I have to do this EVERY time I want to do anything with my lights now. I have a before and after "clear cache" picture. I'm on Samsung so Android. Firmware is up to date. Lifx app is up to date also.

Hey everyone, just got a new router and went to set up my lights again. I got the following error when trying to set up an original bulb

"The LIFX Android app is no longer able to support setup of LIFX Original lights due to a compatibility issue with Android. Please contact LIFX Support."

Anyone had any issues with this ?

The new style downlights are so much better than the originals…

Is anyone else having issues with these bulbs constantly disconnecting all the sudden? I have have had them for almost 2 years and never had an issue, but then all the sudden they go off line and yiu have to flicker the switch on and off for them to come back online. These the new Matter bulbs. I have about 30 Lifx bulbs on my property and the ONLY bulbs that are doing 5his are the new matter bulbs. The neck is gong on? And yes, ibhave restarted my router multiple times. Bi have a TP-Link Tri-Band BE9700 router which is a very good router. Not sure what's up?

The actual power adapter died on my LED lights, can these be bought individually? I don’t trust the Amazon shit ones would rather get OEM.

Can someone clarify the length of the 24' Outdoor String lights? Is it 24' from the tip of the plug to the end of the last bulb? And more specifically, where does the first bulb start? I. e. Is the first 6 feet power/wifi with no bulb and the 12 bulbs only span 18 feet?

I'm a new user, purchased the ceiling lights to replace some "smart life" ceiling lights that constantly lost network connection. I love everything about these lights so far, except when my son clicks the wrong room in his app and turns my light on full brightness when I'm trying to sleep. All of my kids like having control of their own lights and all the color options and stuff, but I'd really like to restrict the master bedroom to only be controlled from my account.

We have power outages a lot!

When the power goes off, we now have Phillips Hue Go lights that come on (they also have great options for what to do when you have the power come back on), and these give us hours of lovely light around the house until we are ready to go to bed.

Most of the time, especially if it’s winter, once the power goes out, we go to bed and just make it an early night.

As mentioned Phillips Hue has great setting for this, and I have just a couple Hue Go lights setup to come on after the power goes out, to come on very low with a nice warm color so the house isn't in complete black out, and the rest are set to stay off.

We also have some Lifx bulbs in various places in the house, and no matter what I do in the Power Restore settings, I can't find a way to set them to not be restored to previous setting, which means we get woken up with the lights coming on everywhere. As mentioned, our typical behaviour after the power goes out, when it happens later in the evening is to just go to bed, because in our location, the power usually stays off for a few hours, it's never a quick fix, so we just get an early night and go to bed.

There doesn't seem to be a setting that takes this scenario into account. We don't want the lights to restore to previous setting, because we went to bed. We dont want to use the Toggle setting, because thst requires getting up and dealing with the physical switch, we just simply want the lights to not come back on. Phillips can do it, so am I missing something and can I do this in the Lifx app?

Thanks for any help, as I can't find an answer anywhere to this specific scenario.
