• Wake alarm • IFTTT • Social media alerts - LIFX has been designed to allow you to set your lights to notify you when you have social media alerts such as tweets, Facebook messages etc. Currently this functionality is limited but this will be added in an app update in the coming weeks.
Tips and Troubleshooting Hardware Resetting You may notice a small switch on the back of your LIFX bulb. This is the hardware reset switch. If you are having difficulties with a bulb, flicking the hardware reset switch will return the bulb back to its virgin state as if it was brand new.
Tips and Troubleshooting Network Range Each LIFX bulb also has a standard WiFi module built into it. As long as one bulb is in range of your WiFi router, LIFX then creates its own mesh network for all other connected bulbs in theory for up to one mile and beyond. Typical WiFi range is dependant on wall density, network range, WiFi device and signal strength (traditionally 5-15 meters).
