ALIGHT! – Lights that Speak for You Alight! transforms everyday smart lights into powerful tools for communication, making it easier for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to stay connected in their homes. With a single tap, you can trigger visual cues using HomeKit-compatible lights. Assign colors to specific messages and communicate quickly, clearly, and accessibly. Whether it’s blue for “someone’s at the door” or green for “dinner’s ready,” Alight! makes it easy to send instant, meaningful alerts. How it works: 1 - Tap a button associated with a color. 2 - Your smart lights flash that color for 20 seconds. 3 - The lights automatically return to their normal state—ready for the next alert. Why Alight!: Instant & Simple: One-tap interaction—no complicated setup. Customizable Alerts: Assign colors to the messages that matter most to you. HomeKit-Ready: Works seamlessly with all Apple HomeKit-compatible lights. Powered by AppIntents: Use voice commands, widgets, or even your device’s action button—no need to open the app. With heartfelt gratitude, we extend a special thanks to Alessandro Coppola for their invaluable support and inspiration throughout the development of this app.)
