Latest update feels like a downgrade
The previous version used to include a larger selection of premade patterns (e.g., sports teams, more holidays), the majority of which are gone with the latest update.
The latest update does allow some customization of premade patterns (e.g., speed, bulb spacing) but not the color or tone. This is unfortunate because the white used in the new candy cane pattern is so cool that it looks red and blue instead of white.
We’ve created a few custom patterns successfully. But more often than not, the new custom design is somehow applied to other existing custom patterns (undoing the previous work) or turns all lights white and/or crashes the app, disappearing the controller entirely.
There is an option to access the old patterns but it is significantly more buggy than before.
I’m hopeful the app will improve but in the meantime it is a big disappointment, especially during the holidays when we use our lights most. Very disappointing.

Update sucks
Since update the app is terrible, patterns glitch and colours are all wrong ( pick red you get blue )
I liked the basic interface its was much easier to customize.

What happened to all of the pattern options?!

EASY to use permanent lighting app
This app is super easy to use. I have the genuine Pixel Lights controller and lights and the app is flawless. The timer works great, the pre-programmed patterns are plentiful, and although I have only done a couple of “make my own” patterns, it is pretty intuitive.
With all of the regular updates, I’m surprised there isn’t a subscription.
I read another review about wifi issues - I got a new 5G/2.4G combined modem and I called internet provider and separated the signal, ran on 2.4G and zero issues since. I had to do this for my door bell, security cameras, and thermostats too, seems to be pretty standard protocol.

Useless app
Sometimes it connects with the controller & majority of the time it doesn’t ! Developers fix your mess
Response from developer
We are sorry to hear that you are having connection issues. Our controller only works on a 2.4GHz network, and if connected to a 5GHz network it will have issues like you are describing. Unfortunately other networks are something we cannot control, but we'd be happy to help you troubleshoot your setup, please email evan@pixellights.com.
