Are LIFX products secure?
LIFX products connect to your existing Wi-Fi network and rely on that network’s security to remain protected. Each light is as secure as the network it’s connected to.
If someone has access to both your Wi-Fi network and the LIFX app on their device, they will be able to control your LIFX lights—but only while their device remains connected to the same local network. Once they disconnect from your Wi-Fi, they will no longer have access to control the lights.
For added security, we recommend granting guests access to a separate Guest Wi-Fi network, which limits their ability to interact with other devices on your main network.
To ensure your network remains secure, make sure you:
-
Use WPA2 or WPA3 encryption.
-
Regularly update your router firmware.
-
Avoid sharing your Wi-Fi credentials with anyone you don't trust.
