How to schedule LIFX bulbs with IFTTT

 

Create an IFTTT Account and Connect LIFX

 

  • First, go to the IFTTT website or download the IFTTT app on your device.
  •  

  • Create an account if you are a new user, or log in if you already have an account.
  •  

  • Once logged in, go to the "Explore" section and search for "LIFX".
  •  

  • Follow the instructions to connect your LIFX account to IFTTT. Ensure your LIFX bulbs are linked to the LIFX app with the associated account.

 

Create a New Applet

 

  • Go to the "Create" section on the IFTTT website or app.
  •  

  • Click on "If This", then search for and select a trigger service you want to use for scheduling (e.g., "Date & Time").

 

Select a Trigger

 

  • Choose a specific trigger. For scheduling, you might use "Every day at" or "Every hour", depending on how you want to schedule your LIFX bulbs.
  •  

  • Configure the trigger settings (e.g., select the time you want the action to occur) and then click "Create trigger".

 

Set Up the Action

 

  • After setting up the trigger, click on "Then That".
  •  

  • Search for and select "LIFX" as the action service.
  •  

  • Choose the specific action you want for your bulbs, such as "Turn on lights", "Change color", or "Dim lights". You can also select more advanced actions like setting specific brightness or color temperature based on your LIFX setup options.

 

Configure and Finish

 

  • Set the final configurations for the chosen action, like selecting which bulbs or scenes you’d like to apply the action to.
  •  

  • Review your applet to ensure everything is set correctly. Then click "Finish" to activate your applet.

 

Test Your Applet

 

  • Check whether the scheduled settings work as expected. This might require waiting until the scheduled time or manually triggering the applet from the IFTTT app or website.
  •  

  • If anything is not working as anticipated, revisit your applet settings to ensure everything is configured correctly, including trigger times, selected bulbs, and connected accounts.

 

Additional Tips

 

  • Experiment with various triggers beyond time, such as location or weather conditions, to maximize automation through IFTTT with LIFX.
  •  

  • Use IFTTT's integrations with other smart home devices and services to create complex sequences or routines involving your LIFX bulbs.
