From the virtual Layout Assistant, to one-touch RGB presets, to full in-depth customization like you’ve never seen before, prepare for a lighting experience that is Smarter by Design. Simple Control Use the App to scan your lights’ pairing code and get set up in seconds, then enjoy your smart light-switch. Remotely turn your lights on and off, adjust brightness (trust us they go BRIGHT), and select your color Scenes from anywhere within your home. Group your lights together for joint control with Group Scenes (because we love a team player), or segment by room to keep your lights as organized as you wish your life could be. Complete Customization Create custom dynamic Scenes by selecting palettes and colors with the intuitive color wheel, adjusting ratios, and choosing animated motions. Try vibrant RGB hues to set a total vibe, or put the “fun” in functional lighting with the whole range of white color temperatures. Advanced Automations Set Schedules to automate your daily lighting needs, from gentle morning light-alarms, to gradually dimming nightly reminders that Holy **** it’s 2AM again, you need to wake up in 4 hours, PLEASE go to sleep. Now You’re Talking Connect your lights with your smart home assistant (HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Samsung SmartThings) and use voice commands to control them hands-free. Just say “Hey Siri, turn on my TGIF” Scene” and instantly enter full relaxation-mode at the end of a long week. Join the Community Explore the App’s “Discover” tab for a huge collection of incredible Scenes created by users like you. Well, like you, just more creative.

This is the companion app for the easyplant Sensor - a small physical device you place in your plant's soil (sold separately at easyplant.com). Together, they give your plants a voice, so you always know exactly how to care for them. Requires an easyplant Sensor. Don't have one yet? Grab one at easyplant.com — then come back and pair it here. Most plants don't die from neglect. They die from guessing. Overwatering, underwatering, wrong light — the Sensor solves two of the most common plant care issues, watering and light, and the app puts all that information in one place, no matter how many plants you own. HOW IT WORKS - Place your Sensor in the soil and turn it on - Pair it to the app by holding the button - Identify the specific plant by taking a photo - The Sensor continuously reads soil moisture and light levels - You get instant feedback when it’s time to water or if the plant is not getting enough light WHAT THE APP DOES - Connects to one or more easyplant Sensors - Sends push notifications when a plant needs water - Identifies your plant from a photo and tailors care tips to it - Shows moisture & light history graphs over time, for every plant - Keeps all your plants and Sensors organized in one dashboard ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - Elegant, low-profile design that fits into the pot, not on top of it - Instant feedback with no app needed — tap the Sensor itself for a color readout: green (all good), blue (needs water) - Water-resistant, designed to stay in the soil - Best for indoor plants in 6"–12" pots BUILT ON REAL PLANT EXPERTISE easyplant has been helping people keep plants alive for years. The Sensor and app take that experience and put it to work in your soil and in your pocket.
