Update…
Since the recent update, only one light shows up in the app. Seeing how I need two lights and can’t get the other to show up, this is very disappointingtintdude3
Doesn’t connect to key lights
Tried over and over following all advice resetting the lights and app but still doesn’t connect. Like the desktop app, this needs work. Using k ok a test iteration of iOS so probably the app not updated.padremark
Works fine
I don’t know what everyone is complaining about, maybe they’ve patched it since?
Initial setup was fine once I found the power switch on the physical light.
It shows up under WiFi, not as a network connect to, but will be listed saying “set up device”.
It works flawlessly once connected to the app, for me at least.
Note that you need to connect to 2.4 GHz WiFi, not 5 GHz. If you don’t know what this means then it’s unlikely you’ll have to worry about it.Show lesstTopMusic
Developer Response
Dear Control Center user, Thanks for the wonderful feedback, our developers are very happy about it! Keep having fun with our products and apps! Your Elgato TeamGreat when it works…but it doesn’t always work
I love my Key Light Airs, but when the app refuses to let me control them, they’re just really expensive decorations.FrustratedAndBroke
Just terrible
This app probably has one of the worst price of hardware to quality of software ratios of all time. Where to begin: intermittent connectivity, no support for HomeKit, no support for automations or shortcuts, no widgets, no extensions, no lighting presets (adjust sliders and remember your settings every time). Oh and best of all you have to use it because the stupid light has no controls on it. Incredible that they can get away with this.Show lesskoffee66
Zero Stars if it was possible
I’ve been using Elgato Keylights for three years now. I can not recommend them because of massive connection issues. The team responsible for it should be replaced from the ground up.ZSSolomon
Easy to use, a struggle to stay connected
I love how easy it is to use this app to control my Elgato Ring Light but sometimes it’s a hassle just to get it to connect, and the connection is never stable enough to install firmware updates. I will hold out hope that the Elgato team will fix this (I’ve already been through all the troubleshooting) but right now, it’s a guessing game as to whether or not my light will even turn on due to inability to connect.Show lessElgato ring light
Simple app. Works seamlessly on Mac and iOS
It seems like most the negative reviews are about connectivity. For me everything just works. I added my key light as a Wi-Fi device using my MacBook Air. Later I downloaded the control center to another Mac and it was already configured and ready to go. When I downloaded the app to my phone, I didn’t even have to add my light. It was already there. Love it. Great UX.Show lessWestonHancock
No connection
Regret to boughtMamadmixer
Incredibly frustrating
Connectivity is terribly poor. Even leaving the app open on my phone, it loses connection within 5 minutes. I have to reboot the lamp and phone app and wait about 45 seconds, and they are within 1m of each other and 5m away from the Wi-Fi hotspot. Used to be good but incredibly bad now, would not buy again.Show lessjeauxlb
