"Moccupancy": set irregular schedules to simulate occupancy when you're away from home.
Sleep optimization: dim your bedroom lights and set them to deep red before bed, aiding the production of melatonin and promoting better sleep quality.
Convenience: control your lights with a voice assistant instead of getting up from the sofa.
Pet owners: remotely turn the lights on for your dog if you're running late.
Silent notifications: use partner apps to receive light flashes for various notifications like car arrivals, upcoming rain, social media mentions, and more.

Additionally, LIFX offers easy integration with Apple HomeKit. Simply use the onboarding QR code in the product packaging to pair your LIFX lights with HomeKit.
