Description

This is the new official Lightwave Link Plus app to manage the amazing Lightwave Smart Home Platform with your iPhone, iPod or iPad.*
The Lightwave Smart Home Platform allows you to monitor and control lighting, power and heating whether you are in the home, or out and about, using a smart-phone, tablet or PC. The product range consists of attractive and affordable dimmer switches, power sockets and thermostatic radiator valves, plus a large range of other innovative products, some of which are simple plug ‘n’ play and others that can be easily retrofitted by any competent DIYer. All devices communicate wirelessly eliminating the need for any additional wiring.

The Lightwave Smart Home Platform is:
• Affordable
• Simple to Fit
• Easy to use

The Lightwave Smart Home Platform can:
• Save you money through reduced energy usage!
• Help keep your home and family more safe and secure
• Make your life more comfortable – no arriving home to a cold, dark house
• Save you time by automating many of the daily processes in your home

The Lightwave Smart Home app allows you to:
• Setup your WiFiLink and products in minutes.
• Monitor, control and schedule lighting, power and heating requirements by individual room
• Define and name Rooms that reflect the layout of your own home
• Allocate and name devices within each room
• Set Moods by room for lighting and power – for example, fully on for cleaning, some lights dimmed and the TV off for reading, and nice and cosy dimmed lights when watching TV
• Build complex events to turn on or off multiple devices across many rooms with one button
• Schedule single devices or events to activate at certain times by day, week and month
• Automatically link schedules to sunrise and sunset times
• Add random delays to events to create that genuine “look like you’re at home when you’re not at home”
• Schedule heating programmes by individual room
• Add our energy monitor to see your electricity usage real-time, and totals so far today and yesterday

And you can do all of these things even if you were on the other side of the world!

* Note that this app requires a Lightwave Link Plus and the appropriate Lightwave devices being fitted.

Good but could do more

My mums house has a lot of LightwaveRF Connect gear, and although she has had some issue on the whole it works well. I have a lot of HomeKit stuff, so took the leap and got the Link Plus and a double socket as a test. So far so good, i set up automation in the home app, and it all worked perfectly. The new Lightwave Link app is better (in my opinion) than the old (ReactNative?) app, for a start it’s a native experience. Energy consumption is a nice bonus too.
Things to improve though... you can’t see your other HomeKit devices in the LightwaveRF Link app like you can with Eve, FibaroHome etc, so when adding a new Lightwave device to a room - naming it etc, it doesn’t happen in the home app, you have to do it there too.
This app really needs Siri Shortcut support too, while you can use Siri to control your lightwaveRF device, it’s not really spoken English, Siri shortcuts will solve this.
Also if there is no migration from a Gen 1 Link to the new Link Plus, then I won’t be upgrading my mums house anytime soon, that is a big issue that needs solving.

Excellent technical support

Having already purchased a wide range of Gen 1 and 2 devices I decided to migrate across to the link plus hub. The rational for migrating was so that I could upgrade my boiler controls using the Gen 2 hardware. After struggling initially with some range related issues I contacted customer support. A bloke called Richard diagnosed the problem and now all is well. I can connect perfectly to all my Gen 1 & 2 devices. Linking was easy, however, as yet their is no migration tool to automate the process from a Gen 1 hub, this took me a couple of hours because I had to set up about 20 devices and their corresponding moods. Other than that the process was easy. Tech support has come a long way since the early days of hub 1, well done! If you’re arriving at Lightwave for the first time, there will obviously be no such problems since set up will be from scratch.

Reliable, quick and easy to use.

After moving house I decided to take the opportunity to start from scratch so invested in the double sockets, various dimmer switches, TRVs and central heating control. The latest App is a vast improvement and as a beta tester I know more features are on the way.

Pairing of all the devices worked first time and so far I’ve had no missed switches, the new version of the App allows you to change the of the colour LED and dim the on/off LED.

My only disappointment is if you loose internet you can’t use the App, however everything else works fine. I would give it five stars however for now (April 2018) there is no geo fencing, devices like PIRs or wall switches.

They seem to be adding new features all the time so worth taking a look. The HomeKit integration is faultless and Alexa is great as well, but I’ve only used it for a week.

Like others have said the dimmers can be very fussy on the LED bulbs you use, but if you go for main stream dimmer-able bulbs and a minimum of 25 watts you should be fine. The loss of power does not seem to loose any of the devices settings.

Overall I’m very happy with the App and Gen2 devices, although the TRVs are noisy, I’d have no problems recommending this to anyone and with future updates I’m sure it will only get better.
