  • Select “Create New Scene.”
  • Choose your preferred color, brightness, and effect settings.

  • Select the scene or effect you want to activate.
  • Set the desired time and days for the schedule.

Using Voice Commands

If you have a voice assistant like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant integrated with your Lifx system, you can control effects hands-free. Use commands such as:
