LIFX Luna buttons can be configured to control other Matter enabled devices.
Before proceeding, you’ll need to make sure you Luna is running Firmware 4.100 or later.
You can check this under "Light Settings" and update your Firmware if necessary.
To configure your Luna buttons:
- Open the control screen for your Luna. And click on the ••• icon.
- Click "Light Settings" from the Light Options pop up.
- Confirm your Luna is running Firmware 4.100 or later.
- If your Luna Firmware is not up to date, press the "Update Firmware" button.
- Once updated, return to the Light Settings page and click "Buttons Setup".
On this page, you will see the default Button Settings for you Luna:
Button 1
- Single Press: Cycle through FX on the Luna
Button 2
- Single Press: Decrease the brightness on the Luna
Button 3
- Single Press: Increase the brightness on the Luna
Button 4
- Single Press: Turn on/off the Luna
- Long Press: 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.
E.G. In the below example, we are configuring: Button 1 - Double Press.
There are four Action Types available:
Luna Actions
These are actions that run directly on the Luna lamp only. No App, internet, cloud or hub required.
Actions include:
- Toggle on/off
- Increase brightness
- Decrease brightness
- Cycle FX
- Stop FX
- Sunrise/Sunset
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 select Cloud Actions, as we want to trigger a Scene we have made.
- Select Cloud Actions
- Select the Action you wish to trigger (E.G. Scene) and then press the Next Button.
- Next, select the Scene you wish to activate.
(Note: This can be a Scene that includes other LIFX devices not just the Luna.)
- Press Save.
- You can now test our your custom button by double pressing Button 1 on your Luna and your selected scene will trigger.
And you're all set!
