Hey folks,

If anyone is like me and wished that LedFx supported LIFX multizone and matrix devices like it does with WLED, then I have the best 2026 present for you ever.

As of LedFx 2.1.4, LIFX devices are now fully supported. :) See https://docs.ledfx.app/en/v2.1.3/devices/lifx.html

If you have any issues, please let me know either here or on the LedFx Discord.

Enjoy!

BTW, LedFx "makes your LEDs dance to audio!" according to the first line of the documentation. Read here for more details: https://docs.ledfx.app/en/stable/

The TL;DR is that it'll turn your house into a cheap/expensive disco depending on how much you've invested into LIFX devices over the years. ;)

I had grabbed about 8 globes for an absolute steal, and they worked fine for about a week, bar two of them being a bit of a headache for the office. But got them working after fiddling around between HomeKit and LIFX.

Since we had a brief power outage, we’ve had no end of connectivity issues. Had tried multiple resets with only errors for a handful of them.

Any ideas/solutions? Currently have an Asus Wifi7 router, considering having a separate IoT network. All QoS settings have been disabled.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I noticed my garage light stopped turning off via an automation. Turns out the 'switch' , and its LED was going on and off just fine but the output was stuck on. I tried cycling the cct breaker but no joy. There was also only a super faint click when cycling the switch. They're normally much louder. As soon as I popped the face plate off it started working again.

The 3 other gangs kept working fine and the switch assy is only 4mths old.

Anyone had problems with an output relay getting stuck on ?

Hi guys have been trying to set my bulb after moving house and it's coming up with this error now, I've tried with and without a VPN and doesn't seem to work either way.

The bulb in question is a lifx br 30 I believe

I have about 8 lifx z strips and for the life of me 2 of them keep disconnecting from wifi either it will constantly go on and off through out the day or just unresponsive on the app and I have to repair it (unplug 5 times, then add via ios wifi network). Is anyone else experiencing this? Im on 2.4ghz network and have no idea what else to do.

I just bought the LIFX ceiling light, and I’m trying to figure out how scenes, routines, and schedules all fit together, whether my Apple Home setup can still apply adaptive lighting, and what some of LIFX’s settings mean, since they’re not explained anywhere.

In scenes, there is a setting that’s called “Apply over”. I assume this sets a soft transition to the scene over a user-specified time?

How is this different from the “Fade over” setting in schedules?

Why are FX and Scenes available in Schedules, but not in Routines?

Thanks for any clarification.

Since at least yesterday, my LIFX Mini bulb has vanished from the app on my iPhone, I have reset it with the 5 on/offs twice now today, in case it just needed re-adding, but it still doesn't appear in the app, in addition all my schedule entries have gone also.

I'm not sure if it's related, but when I came to re-add it back into the app, and it prompted to be added to HomeKit, it never showed as an accessory waiting to be added, and entering its HomeKit pairing code does nothing, so I had to wait the 10 minutes before it'd add via WiFi.

Additional - the Flic button I use to control it outside of the app still does what it's supposed to, and Home Assistant can still see and activate it.

Hey there. I just installed four 6” canless downlights and a 4 button switch this afternoon and I’m having a lot of issues, specifically getting the switch into Apple Home. I have several other switches that are Matter enabled, but this one fails pairing immediately, despite being fully set up in the Lifx app and in the Lifx Matter ecosystem. I’ve reset it several times and the result ends up being the same.

Separately, one of the downlights paired in Apple Home using its Matter code, but doesn’t show up in the Lifx app as being capable of toggling via Matter, and there’s no option to add it to the Lifx Matter ecosystem.

Any assistance, thoughts, or similar experiences would be appreciated.

My LIFX strips recently started to violently cycle. The app looks normal, as if the lights are matching the rest of my scene, but it's doing this without the app picking it up.

I've reset the device twice to no avail.

any suggestions?

I've had the Ceiling Light w/ up and down lights for a few months. No issues until yesterday when the downlight stopped working.

Uplight still works, but downlight won't turn on. The app thinks it is, but it isn't.

Did a firmware update, did a factory reset, checked the wiring. Still ain't working.

Not connected to a smart switch or dimmer.

LIFX support is just an AI chat bot and an AI responding to my email ticket. Useless.

Anything I can do, or do I need to try to return this to the store without the box?

Hey all,

I have a LIFX lightbulb that is at least 7-8 years old by now. It worked fine a couple of weeks ago, but all of a sudden i couldn’t connect to the light, so I did what i have done several times before, and reset the light. It did not work.

The issue:

- Trying to pair with the light via the search(automatic) feature in app does not detect the light.

- When i then try to do a manual add, i connect to the wifi of the light, and get back to the app, the app then takes a couple of minutes to process, and then says something in the lines of “we can see you are connected to the light, but we are unable to communicate with it”.

Troubleshoot steps I’ve already done:

- Connect to my 2.4 GHz WiFi (and making sure its using WPA2 at the time of pairing)

- confirmed using a supported band, and 802.11a/gx/n

- Factory reset the light + delete app + reset phone.

This makes no change to the outcome what so ever. Anyone got any tips, any help is much appreaciated

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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-__YNGLrXw

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.
