Questions

Common questions

Can permanent lights be used as security lights?

They can add light around the whole roofline on a schedule. They work alongside motion-sensor floodlights and cameras rather than replacing them.

Can I make it look like someone's home while I'm traveling?

Yes. Keep your normal schedule running, or change scenes from anywhere in the Lumina app.

Do schedules keep working if the power or internet blinks?

Nex-Gen schedules are stored on the controller, so they keep running if the internet is down.
