  • Even worse after latest update

    Lights have never worked well. Control Center can’t find them half the time and they made them impossible to turn on manually (who does that?) The latest firmware update was supposed to improve things and instead they got way worse, going from working half the time to maybe 1/10 the time. I’m done with elgato. I recommend steering clear and buying lights that can be physically turned on without relying on a buggy app.

  • Works well when connects

    I really like the light. My only gripe is that one out of my two consistently has trouble connecting to the WiFi so that it doesn’t turn on when the other one does (either from the app on my iPad or from my stream deck). So I have to sometimes turn it off and then back on manually. Other than that, the light is great - great aesthetic, lots of options (temperature, intensity) and goes well with the rest of my Elgato products (streamdeck, Facecam).

  • Won’t recognise my lights

    The app was working nicely but then suddenly stopped recognising my key light airs. Tried turning them off & on, resetting the router, restarting my iPhone, etc. Launched the PC app and same thing - not recognised - but on the PC app you have the option of entering the IP address, which solved the problem. No such feature on the iPhone app, so it’s still broken

  • Mobile app works moderately well, desktop app is poor.

    I have had the key light air for about 3 weeks now and have had to reconnect the light twice to the mobile app and 4 times to the desktop app (I’ve only used the light 4 times). The usability on computer without a stream deck is borderline unusable.
  • Inconsistent

    Before upgrading my networking equipment (unifi) the app would lose my key light air about 10% of the time. After upgrading to new access points (still unifi) no matter what I do (single AP with 2.4Ghz only ssid and no auto settings) control center cannot find the keylight. The keylight will connect to WiFi totally fine, it’s just control center that can’t find it.

    Be nice if we could enter an IP address manually.

  • Another fine Elgato product!

    I purchased the Elgato Key Light and used this app to control it with. Absolutely easy to use that even a caveman can figure it out! Simple on/off as well as ability to vary brightness and the cool/warm light. Will be purchasing for family for Christmas!
  • Continually loses on of my Keylight Airs

    One my of Keylight Airs disappears from the ap at least once a week. Quite annoying
  • Hardly ever works

    Turning the light on via wifi hardly ever works. I normally have to reset it several times. Would not recommend the stream lights.
  • Needs a widget to turn on off

    Would love for a easy to access widget to be able to toggle power!
  • No HomeKit & Siri

    I would like homekit / Siri support
