Can I Use Lightwave Alongside Other Smart Home Brands?

🌟 Overview

Yes! Lightwave offers direct integration with both Philips Hue and Sonos, giving you powerful control over lighting, sound, and automations from one central system. Whether you're setting the mood for a dinner party or building a smart wake-up routine, Lightwave makes it seamless.

💡 Philips Hue Integration

Lightwave enables you to include Hue bulbs in scenes and automations directly from the app.

Key Requirements:

• Philips Hue Bridge is required to connect Hue devices to Lightwave.

• Neutral wire is needed if you're using a Smart Series dimmer to control Hue bulbs.

• Enable “Discrete ON/OFF” in the dimmer's calibration settings to avoid dimming conflicts.

Best Practice:

Use software control via the Lightwave app instead of electrical dimming to preserve bulb performance and features.

What You Can Do:

• Group Hue and Lightwave lights in scenes

• Automate Hue bulbs with schedules, sensors, and triggers

• Use voice commands with Alexa, Google, or Siri

🔊 Sonos Integration

Lightwave also works directly with Sonos speakers for smart audio control.

Features:

• Add Sonos to scenes (e.g. “Relax Mode”)

• Automate music playback, volume, and stops/starts

• Trigger playback with button presses, schedules, or occupancy

Example Scene: “Relax Mode”

• Lights dim to 30%

• Sonos plays a chill playlist

• Hallway lights fade off after 5 minutes

No bridge or extra hardware needed — integration is built into the Lightwave app.
