LIFX Luna and Everyday Lightstrip buttons can be configured to control other Matter enabled devices.
Before proceeding, you’ll need to make sure you light is running the latest firmware.
You can check this under "Light Settings" and update your firmware if necessary.
To configure your buttons:
- Open the control screen for your light. And click on the ••• icon.
- Click "Light Settings" from the Light Options pop up.
- Click Buttons: Setup
On th page, you will see the default Button Settings for you light:
Button 1 
- Single Press: Cycle through FX
Button 2 
- Single Press: Decrease the brightness
Button 3 
- Single Press: Increase the brightness
Button 4 
- Single Press: Turn the light on/off
- Long Press: On Luna, fade on/off with a sunrise or sunset effect
Each button has 3 configurable gesture types:
Single Press: This is a quick tap of a Switch button with your finger. It is a very short press.
It looks like this:
Double Press: This is a quick ‘tap tap’ of the Switch button with your finger.
It looks like this:
Long Press: This is when you press your finger on the Switch button and hold it there for a second or two. This gesture is known as ‘Press and hold’ when used on touch screens.
It looks like this:
To configure a button gesture:
- Click on the button gesture you wish to configure.
There are four Action Types available:
Local Actions
These are actions that run directly on the light inseft. No App, internet, cloud or hub required.
Actions include:
- Toggle on/off
- Increase brightness
- Decrease brightness
- Cycle FX
- Stop FX
- Sunrise/Sunset - Luna only
Matter Actions
These are actions that run locally via Matter protocol and allow you to control other Matter enabled LIFX Devices. Because these run locally via Matter, the response time is faster than Cloud actions.
We recommend using Matter Actions if all your LIFX lights are Matter enabled.
Note: If you do not see the Matter Actions option in the App, your Luna is not currently Matter paired.
Actions include:
- Toggle on/off
- Increase brightness
- Decrease brightness
- Increase CCT (Warmer white)
- Decrease CCT (Cooler white)
Cloud Actions
These are actions that run remotely via the LIFX Cloud and allow you to control other LIFX devices.
We recommend using Cloud Actions if some or all of your LIFX lights are not Matter enabled.
Cloud Actions will be slightly slower than Matter Actions given the Cloud processing required.
Actions include:
- Activate Scene
- Toggle on/off
- Turn on
- Turn off
- Increase brightness
- Decrease brightness
No Action
This allows you to remove the default action and have the Luna controls configured by a different ecosystem such as Apple Home.
Removing the default action will ensure two conflicting actions are not triggered at the same time.
For this example, we will trigger a Scene we have made, and use the double press FX button.
- Open Cycle FX Button and Select Double Press
- A Scene is a target, so press Add targets button
- Open the Scenes menu for a list of you scenes and select the scene you want to trigger. e.g. Glow State
- Press the Add 1 target button.
- A Scene has only one available action (Activate Scene), so the Action will be pre-filled. Press Save.
- You can now test our your custom button by double pressing the FX Button on your Luna or Lightstrip and your selected scene will trigger.
And you're all set!
