Control your Bluetooth LED lights with a fast, intuitive remote designed for everyday use. Lumo Remote is designed for many popular Bluetooth LED strip controllers, letting you scan for nearby lights, check compatibility and start controlling them in seconds—without creating an account or connecting a separate hub. Features: • Turn compatible lights on and off • Pick colours with an intuitive colour wheel • Adjust brightness from 1% to 100% • Control built-in lighting effects supported by your controller • Save favourite colours and recently used shades • Create and reuse lighting scenes • Save, nickname and quickly reconnect to your lights • Automatically identify supported controller types • Remember your preferred lighting settings between sessions • Use basic Siri commands for hands-free control Smart Compatibility: Not all Bluetooth LED lights use the same controller. Lumo Remote analyses your device and automatically selects the most suitable supported control system. Compatibility depends on the controller inside your lights—not only the brand printed on the packaging. Supported controller families currently include: • HappyLighting, Triones, QHM-Light and duoCo Strip controllers • ELK-BLEDOM and Lotus Lantern controllers • ELK-BLEDOB and LotusLamp X controllers • SP110E and LED Hue controllers • LED Lamp and Magic Lantern controllers • BanlanX SP63xE and SP64xE controllers • Keepsmile KS03-series controllers Additional controller support will continue to be added through future updates. Private by Design: Lumo Remote communicates directly with your lights using Bluetooth. No account, cloud service or external hub is required for basic control. Designed specifically for iOS, Lumo Remote delivers a clean, responsive experience for compatible Bluetooth LED controllers. Whether you’re replacing the manufacturer’s app, have lost the original remote, or manage several LED strips, Lumo Remote makes everyday lighting control simple. Compatibility: Not all Bluetooth LED controllers use the same communication protocol. Some Bluetooth lights, and many Wi-Fi-only, Matter, Philips Hue, Govee and other proprietary lighting systems, require their own apps or integrations. Compatibility depends on the hardware inside your controller and cannot be guaranteed for every device.
