## What is Lightmote?

Requires Philips Hue Bluetooth bulbs (2019 or later). Bulbs made before 2019 are
Zigbee-only and will not connect.

Your Hue bulbs already have Bluetooth built in. Almost every other app still makes
you buy a Bridge before you can put a light switch on your Home Screen. LightMote
talks to your bulbs directly.

One purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account, no cloud.

■ CONTROL WITHOUT OPENING THE APP
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
• Power, brightness − / +, fixed brightness levels, and colours
• Control Centre toggles
• Today View
• Apple Watch
• Back Tap and AssistiveTouch, through Shortcuts

■ SEVERAL LIGHTS, ONE WIDGET
• A switch for each light, up to 8 on the large widget
• Give every light its own colours and brightness levels
• Or control them all together

■ ASK SIRI
• "Turn on my lights with LightMote"
• Name a Shortcut yourself and say "Hey Siri, lights on"
• Trigger from an NFC tag

■ MINIMAL BY DESIGN
• One screen: power, brightness, colour. That is all.
• Pair a bulb in one tap, no account, no setup wizard
• Everything advanced tucked out of the way

■ SCENES AND SCHEDULES
• Static, dynamic and natural-light scenes
• Schedule by time, sunrise or sunset, with gradual fade
• Sleep and auto-off timers

■ WORKS WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY OWN
• Apple Home, Matter, Home Assistant and Hue Bridges, if you have them

■ PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Everything runs on your device. Nothing is uploaded. No account, ever.

■ BEFORE YOU BUY
• Requires Hue Bluetooth bulbs from 2019 or later
• Bluetooth reaches about 10 bulbs in one room, roughly 10 metres
• No control while you are away from home, that needs a Bridge
• Colour features need colour-capable bulbs; white bulbs still switch and dim
