Each Zone can be edited and controlled independently allowing for different patterns and scenes to be displayed for each Zone. Easy to use editing functions allow you to edit and create custom patterns and scenes. Each pixel light can be adjusted individually for color, brightness, and speed for maximum customization. Voice control is also supported for smart home integration, and human body radar sensing can also be used to control our lighting system for security and convenience. Timers can be set with Sunset/Sunrise timing available, and numerous Autoplay scenes can be created for timed play in your lighting system. Add music from your device to make your lights dance to the music, or use the voice activation function to control the lighting system through background noise. This is one of the most powerful control systems on the market!
