App periodically can’t find key light

This app periodically can’t find the key light. As the key light does not come with an on off switch, this makes the setup frustrating to say the least. Can’t recommend either product.

Great app but…

The app is great! However It would be Amazing if you could please add iOS shortcuts integration to the app so keylight products can be automated with Siri as currently the only way to control the lights is though this app or though a stream deck/control Centre app connected to a computer

The lights show up 1/5 times

Nothing works i wait at least 5 mins for my lights to show up every time

Good but less clicks to turn off/on would be appreciated

Please add interactive widgets so we can turn the Elgato key light on and off without needing to open the app! Or an integration with the Shortcuts app with the same ability. This would make it 5 stars for me.

Light-mini issues

The larger Elgato Light works no problem.

Light mini troubles me all the time. Hard to connect to Wi-Fi. Impossible practically. Found one site where one of users shared that the issue could be with WiFi 5g usage. You have to remove 5g out, and live 2.5g only. After performing that change my mini worked. Still with some issues to connect to WiFi. Sad that it is so difficult to connect. Update Firmware please.

Connection Issues

Unfortunately, the app does not function well or reliably with the light. It constantly loses connection and when it does work, there’s a huge delay when turning it on and off.

I keep hoping a firmware or app update will resolve this issue. If this were fixed, the light would be a great value, but like this, it has proved to be the weak link in my setup. It often stands in the way of creativity when I’m ready to roll.

Please fix.

It works well!

I used to forget to turn off the key light when I turn off my computer, so I’m glad elgato made this accessible through the app! If your internet router resets, you may have to reset the key light as well. Seems to be an IP thing. A bit of a pain, but I love being able to control from my phone, so app stays on my home page! Thanks Elgato

Plug and play!

Love the straightforward nature of the light. Easy to set up and finding it ideal for enhancing the appearance of my recordings.
Nice solid feel to stand and light itself.

Key lights continue to lose connectivity

When I first bought my two key lights, they would connect very quickly. Nothing in my environment has changed except for the Elgato updates. Now I have to turn the key light lights on and then back to neutral to get control center on my iPhone and on my Mac mini to connect to them. This makes me hesitant to acquire the stream deck as I don’t think it is going to maintain continuous conductivity.

No Siri Shortcuts or integrations

This product is not designed to be used by anything outside of elgatos eco system. No Siri Shortcuts, no HomeKit, no simple way to control it.
