Daora LED is compatible with Daora Lighting and also other WLED-based systems to provide full control of your lights remotely, simply, securely and from anywhere.

Setting up your own favorite setting and saving it with your own favorite name is simple, and then you can use that setting time after time with the press of a button. Daora also has scheduling features so you can use your favorite lighting presets at any time of day, week or year. So whether it’s to turn on your lights at 8am every day, to change up the color of your lights for your birthday or Christmas, or to have your lights change up in a random pattern every night then Daora can help you control all your lighting. Daora LED is a remote control for your lights and is designed to be used with Daora Lighting and other WLED-based systems. As most typical solutions need to open up a router port to achieve remote access or even worse to change the firewall settings of a router, Daora’s LED solution uses a cloud-based method to connect the Daora app with the controller. As long as you have a Daora account which has been approved, you have a compatible controller which has been set up correctly, you have remote access turned on, you can access and control your lights from anywhere in the world. Even if you are not on the same local network as your lights. Daora LED can be used with a Daora remote control and approved Daora account for lighting installations (current or previous) as well as for WLED-based installations that require to be remotely controlled.

Team colors for 124 cities across four sports, filed by sport and city. Twenty looks inspired by screens and games. Plus accent lighting for ordinary evenings, occasion scenes for birthdays and parties, an effect gallery, and scenes that move with music. Every scene previews on a drawing of a house before you apply it, so you know what you are getting before the neighbors do.
