I don't have HomeKit or I can't get HomeKit to work, how can I add my light?
Using the 'LIFX Setup' will connect your light to the app without adding HomeKit and Siri at the same time. Sometimes there are a number of issues that can occur that make HomeKit setup prone to error and if it doesn't seem to be working for you, we suggest trying LIFX onboarding.
Guide me through adding my light
Step 1
Reset your light and router
If you've not attempted to set up your light via the LIFX app or Home app before then ignore this step.
Otherwise, a hardware reset will ensure your lights are available to be detected in your network.
- Start with the LIFX light on
- Turn your light off and on at the wall 5 times slowly at consistent intervals
- Reset your router
Step 2
Open the LIFX App
1 Press '+' and New Device
2 Press 'New Light' and "My Light doesn't support HomeKit" (highlighted in blue)
3a Allow notifications
3b Follow steps on screen to begin setup
3c Navigate to your Wi-Fi settings
4a
Choose light from settings.
The light will appear as ...LIFX_model_serial (if you tap the light and it prompts you to open the Home app, you can either follow those instructions to begin HomeKit onboarding or reset the light and wait 20 minutes before trying again)
4b
Make sure you are connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to connect the light to (please note, LIFX only support 2.4Ghz networks). Then enter the password.
5a Return to the app
5b Under 'Almost Done' Select
6a Create/choose a location for your light
6b Create/choose a group for your light
6c Name your light (approx. 10 characters)

Complete, you can now enjoy your light!
