## What is Lightwave Link Plus?

This is the new official Lightwave Link Plus app to manage the amazing Lightwave Smart Home Platform with your iPhone, iPod or iPad.*
The Lightwave Smart Home Platform allows you to monitor and control lighting, power and heating whether you are in the home, or out and about, using a smart-phone, tablet or PC. The product range consists of attractive and affordable dimmer switches, power sockets and thermostatic radiator valves, plus a large range of other innovative products, some of which are simple plug ‘n’ play and others that can be easily retrofitted by any competent DIYer. All devices communicate wirelessly eliminating the need for any additional wiring.

The Lightwave Smart Home Platform is:
• Affordable
• Simple to Fit
• Easy to use

The Lightwave Smart Home Platform can:
• Save you money through reduced energy usage!
• Help keep your home and family more safe and secure
• Make your life more comfortable – no arriving home to a cold, dark house
• Save you time by automating many of the daily processes in your home

The Lightwave Smart Home app allows you to:
• Setup your WiFiLink and products in minutes.
• Monitor, control and schedule lighting, power and heating requirements by individual room
• Define and name Rooms that reflect the layout of your own home
• Allocate and name devices within each room
• Set Moods by room for lighting and power – for example, fully on for cleaning, some lights dimmed and the TV off for reading, and nice and cosy dimmed lights when watching TV
• Build complex events to turn on or off multiple devices across many rooms with one button
• Schedule single devices or events to activate at certain times by day, week and month
• Automatically link schedules to sunrise and sunset times
• Add random delays to events to create that genuine “look like you’re at home when you’re not at home”
• Schedule heating programmes by individual room
• Add our energy monitor to see your electricity usage real-time, and totals so far today and yesterday

And you can do all of these things even if you were on the other side of the world!

* Note that this app requires a Lightwave Link Plus and the appropriate Lightwave devices being fitted.

### 2/5 — Hardware good but the app feels dated

*2026-04-05, version 3.29*

It would be good if the app and experience could feel more “modern” - more smart. It has the feeling of an engineers solution, not a users solution with a desirable user interface.

### 2/5 — Not Supported on Apple Watch

*2025-12-16, version 3.29*

App still not available on Apple Watch which is pretty big deal for me. I don’t think it ever will be. Lightwave which was ahead is starting to fall behind other manufacturers.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2025-11-08, version 3.28*

Great app, works well nothing to complain about. I just wish the app looked a bit more up to date, just modernise the look a bit. But other than that great products, great app.

### 3/5 — Flakey

*2025-05-29, version 3.26*

Sorry guys, but your Philips hue API lets you down massively. It’s very unreliable and often leaves my downstairs lights turned on at night when they are commanded to close either by automation or manually via a Lightwave switch / device. Some days it works perfectly, other days it doesn’t work at all… not good enough!

### 1/5 — Push notifications

*2025-04-26, version 3.24*

Despite ensuring marketing is turned off in settings, I keep getting push notifications through trying to sell me more Lightwave products, even though the entire house is set up with them. It’s not cool when companies use push notifications in this way, but really not acceptable when it still happens even if it’s apparently turned off. Sort it out!

### 1/5 — Advertising

*2025-04-26, version 3.24*

This app has recently been sending push notifications for sales and promotions which is frustrating and entirely against the preferences that I’ve set in the app to not send ‘promotional push notifications’. Please fix this! It’s not fair to have an app you need to operate hardware in your home taking advantage of notifications for marketing purposes.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-02-20, version 3.24*

I just found my old JSJSLW930 hub and tried to set it up but this new app won’t find it even when the lights are green on the hub. It seems I can no longer use it so won’t be buying into the LightwaveRF eco system again.

### 5/5 — Excellent App & Technology Solution

*2025-02-01, version 3.23*

I purchased Lightwave “smart switches” recently (feb/mar 2023) and found their products, installation instructions & c/service first class.
My recommendation is this, if your looking for easy to install app and technology, look no further than Lightwave!!

### 4/5 — Concept is great but still a bit buggy

*2024-05-28, version 3.22*

Have been a customer for years, using Dimmer switches, relays and then TRV’s. Reliability is good for the most part but disappointed it’s still a bit buggy, with some activations triggered in error by system. e.g. lights switched on by heating signal or wrong light activated by timer. (and TRV’s are noisy) Frustrating, given that it’s not new software/hardware. Tech support is variable - generally ok but not great. Still on the slow side. Overall still good but a lot that still has to be done to improve reliability and customer experience for products that are by no means low cost.

### 5/5 — Superb products

*2024-05-09, version 3.22*

Use them for all our outdoor lights brilliant system
