The part you use every day
Your lights, from your phone
You will touch the app hundreds of times a year and the hardware never. That is genuinely why we picked the system we did — a mediocre app ruins an otherwise good lighting install. Colors, scenes, schedules, zones, and voice control all live in one place, and it works from anywhere you have signal.
What it does
Six things you'll actually use
Every bulb, individually
Each fixture is separately addressable — 16 million colors plus tunable warm-to-cool white. That means alternating colors, gradients across a peak, or one solid warm white down the whole run.
Preset patterns
A library of built-in scenes and animations covering the holidays, seasons, and events. You can run one as-is or use it as a starting point and edit from there.
Schedules and timers
Set it to come on at sunset and off at midnight and then never think about it again. Schedules follow the actual sunset time, so they shift correctly through the year.
Zones
Front, garage side, and back can each run independently. Warm white on the street side and something louder over the patio, at the same time.
Voice and text control
Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, and Control4. You can also just type what you want — "set the front to warm white" — instead of hunting through menus.
The extras, if you want them
Bosso's optional app packages add an AI assistant — tell it "make the house look like the Fourth of July" and it builds the scene — and music activation that syncs the lights to whatever's playing. Nice to have; the lights never depend on them.
Honest usage note: most people run warm white almost every night and save the color for holidays, game days, and birthdays. The feature list is long, but the thing that earns its keep is a house that looks good on an ordinary Tuesday in February.
Setup
We don't hand you a QR code and leave
Before the crew pulls away, we install the app on your phone, connect it to your system, name your zones, and build your first few scenes with you standing there. You will change a color, set a schedule, and turn the system off and on yourself while we are still in the driveway.
If you forget something a week later, call us. That is a normal thing to need and we would rather answer it than have you not use what you paid for.

Questions
About the app
What app controls the lights?
We install Bosso Smart Lighting, so you use the Bosso Smart Lights app — free with every system, on iOS and Android. We set it up on your phone and build your first scenes with you before we leave, so you are not figuring it out from a manual after the truck pulls away.
Do I need Wi-Fi for the lights to work?
The controller connects to your home Wi-Fi so you can control the system from anywhere and run scheduled scenes. If your internet goes down, the lights keep running whatever schedule was last set — you just cannot change them remotely until it is back.
Can more than one person control the lights?
Yes. You can add other people in the household to the system so anyone can change scenes from their own phone.
Is there a monthly fee for the app?
The core app is free with every system — colors, scenes, schedules, zones, and remote control, no subscription. Bosso also sells optional app packages that add extras like its AI assistant and music activation. Your lights don't depend on them, and we'll show you exactly what's included free during setup so there are no surprises later.
Want to look before you buy? The Bosso Smart Lights app is public on the App Store and Google Play — download it and poke around the demo before we ever visit your house.
