Lights & Switches is the new remote for your smart home.

Connect it to your supported home automation system (*), arrange the controls to your liking and quickly flip your switches, view information and turn lights on and off.

With Lights & Switches, you can connect one or more (**) home automation servers (*). You can then arrange each control available in the server (like light switches, dimmers or temperature readouts) by resizing or changing the order of the controls. The controls will always reflow to fill the available space, similar to the icons on your home screen.

Turning a light on or off is as easy as tapping the associated control on screen. For more detailed settings, briefly hold a control to access e.g. dimmer settings.

In order to rearrange the controls, long-press anywhere on the screen to go to editing mode. Use a double-tap to switch between moving and resizing controls. Tap-and-hold a control for a moment, then drag to move or resize it. Tap a control to change its name and color and see some more information about it. Drag a control in move mode into one of the top corners to create a new page before or after the current page. Swipe to change between pages.

The free version of Lights & Switches is limited to connecting to a single server and it only displays the first 20 control on each page. In-App purchases can be used to unlock an unlimited number of servers with unlimited controls.


(*) Currently supported:
* Philips Hue
* Domoticz

(**) In-App purchase required to use multiple servers at once.
