Bring your home to life with Chameleon Lighting, the control center for your professional-grade addressable LED lights. No coding, no confusing setup, no light-by-light programming — just beautiful light, customized for you. ONE-TAP SHOWS, ALREADY DESIGNED A library of professionally designed playlists, ready to run. Holidays: Christmas, Halloween, Fourth of July, Easter and more, as complete multi-effect shows. Moods and animations: rainbows, ocean waves, firelight, aurora, and simple, elegant accent lighting. Dozens of effects — Fireworks, Twinkle Fade, Bouncing Balls, Meteor, Chase — each matched to a curated color palette. Browse the entire library before you ever create an account. SCHEDULING THAT RUNS ITSELF Add an event and it schedules itself. There is nothing else to set up. Holidays arrive on the right days every year, including the ones that move. Your team's colors run on game nights, following the real schedule. Sunrise and sunset are worked out for you, wherever you live. Choose your on and off times once and every event follows them — or give any single event its own. FAVORITES AND LIVE CONTROL Favorites on the Home screen: one tap puts a look on your lights right now, and turns them on if they were off. Now Playing shows what is running and what is coming up next, with brightness and speed you can move while it plays. Zones: split one controller across the roofline, the porch and the walkway, and send different content to each. Turn everything on or off from the main screen. MAKE IT YOUR OWN Studio: build your own playlists, patterns and color palettes — or start from anything in the library and change it. Quick Color: pick a color and it is on your lights immediately. See exactly how a pattern will lay out across your strip before it gets there. WORKS ON YOUR WI-FI, WITH OR WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Your controller runs on your own network. Find it, drive it, set its schedules and save its settings straight from the app — no account, no internet connection. When your internet is out, your lights carry on. Everything local stays free, always. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE A free Chameleon account keeps your devices, schedules and creations in sync across every phone in the home. Set something up on one, and it is there on all of them. Your lights keep to their schedule whether the app is open or not.
