The app needs to add a way that whenever you turn the lights on via a wall switch, the lights are at a color temperature that mimics natural outdoor light color for the current time of day. With this app now, scheduling the color temperature also inevitably controls whether the lights are on or off according to the schedule. Most people don’t want their bedroom lights coming on and off based on a schedule, they want their child to be able to use a wall switch. Cree Connected Max has a nice interface for this which they are calling “Follow the Sun”. I would love to see Halo Home add this to their app. Adding the ability to use Siri Shortcuts may be another solution as Apple has already set up routines to support circadian lighting control.

Having 2 in wall dimmers, I connected Halo Home app to them so I can at least control them from my phone and I can set up auto on abs off via app. It would be a lot more convenient if I could access these devices directly via Bluetooth but you have to connect to them via their Halo Home app. It takes awhile for this to occur. Bigger problem is if you have a glitch at home, like a power outage, the app will not connect to you devices. This has happened more than once. I had to delete the app, re-install, and re-register as a new client with an entirely different email address. I’m running out of email addresses 😉I called tech support but the woman said I would get a call from them because my problem was beyond her realm. They never called. So my only viable option will be to delete the app and start over as a new customer with an email address that hasn’t been used previously. Wish me luck!

I have been using this app for a while and the new version works much better. I can grope my dining room lights together and control the brightness and color temperature easily. Scheduling works great and controls my porch light. If you have a scene controller in your house, you can easily assign different settings to each button for quick change. I have a bridge and can verbally control my lights in the living room and hallway with an Echo Dot through Alexa. The visual appearance of different screens are mainly text base compared to new apps full of icons and graphics but it does the job well. I am using the app on iPhone 8.

You guys comedians putting on the box “smart” light? This thing is as dumb as dirt and that includes whoever designed and tested this dumb light. First off takes forever to connect with your bluetooth setup. Sometimes does not even connect at all even while standing next to the dumb light. Distance is horrendous. You practically need to be standing next to the dumb light to be able to connect to it. This defeats the purpose of having a bluetooth light that you can control remotely. App is also dumb as i already had to uninstall and reinstall because it was not recognizing the light even though it was connected. Couldn’t turn off and on. With all of these issues easier to just turn on and off with the switch. Wait can’t do that either as this is a dumb light and needs to be connected to the app to be and to also turn off and on. My neighbors think I'm dumb because I'm outside switching off and on this light constantly and cursing at the stupid thing.
