The AFTERGLO app is how you run your AFTERGLO permanent roofline lighting from your phone. If you've got our controllers installed on your house, this is what turns them on, picks the color, sets the schedule, and queues up the music-synced shows for Halloween, Christmas, and the rest of the calendar. What you can do here: Find and control every controller on your home Wi-Fi. The app discovers them the first time you open it. Tap one to set a solid color, run an effect (chase, twinkle, fade, shimmer, and more), or jump to one of the preset looks the firmware ships with. Schedule the lights. Set on and off times for any day of the week, or have them follow sunset and sunrise. Holidays get their own schedule. Set Christmas once and forget about it. Update your controllers over the air. When new firmware ships, the app offers it the next time you open it on your home Wi-Fi. No cables, no menus. A few practical notes: The app needs to be on the same Wi-Fi as your controllers to find them. Guest networks with client isolation won't work. We declare five network permissions and nothing else. No location, no camera, no contacts. The device list lives on your phone, not in the cloud. Built in Salt Lake City. If something is broken, tell us. We answer support emails at afterglolights@gmail.com, usually within a day.
