LIFX Optimized for Smart Home

---

Voice control for your LIFX lights just got more intuitive. Alexa now includes added colour control – giving you more ways to set your mood lighting.

Alexa recognizes everyday phrases such as “Make the lights warmer” and “change lights to incandescent” to make controlling your home conversational!

Here are some of our favourite phrases to get started:

“Alexa, turn on the lights”
“Alexa, set Kitchen lights to 50%”
“Alexa, set the lights to red”
“Alexa, set the lights to warm white”
“Alexa, make the lights cooler”
“Alexa, dim the Kitchen light”

You can also activate your LIFX scenes with Alexa. To learn how to create a Scene in LIFX see https://support.lifx.com/hc/en-us/articles/204074724-Scenes-in-the-LIFX-app. For example, if you’ve got a Movie Night scene you can try:

“Alexa, turn on Movie Night”

To control multiple lights at once, use the Alexa app to group your lights - to learn how see https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201749250. For example if you’ve created groups called Kitchen or Bedroom you can try:

“Alexa, dim the Bedroom lights by 25%”
“Alexa, set the Living Room to cool white”

All LIFX lights can display a full range of warm and cool whites. Try asking Alexa for: "Warm White", "Soft White", "White", "Daylight", "Cool White"

And if your LIFX light supports colours, try asking Alexa for: “White", "Red", "Orange", "Green", "Blue", "Yellow", "Pink", "Purple", "Violet", "Turquoise", "Magenta", "Fuchsia", "Gold", "Cyan", "Lime", "Sky Blue", "Lavender", "Crimson", "Salmon" or ”Teal"
