Description
This is the new official Lightwave Link Plus app to manage the amazing Lightwave Smart Home Platform with your iPhone, iPod or iPad.*
The Lightwave Smart Home Platform allows you to monitor and control lighting, power and heating whether you are in the home, or out and about, using a smart-phone, tablet or PC. The product range consists of attractive and affordable dimmer switches, power sockets and thermostatic radiator valves, plus a large range of other innovative products, some of which are simple plug ‘n’ play and others that can be easily retrofitted by any competent DIYer. All devices communicate wirelessly eliminating the need for any additional wiring.
The Lightwave Smart Home Platform is:
• Affordable
• Simple to Fit
• Easy to use
The Lightwave Smart Home Platform can:
• Save you money through reduced energy usage!
• Help keep your home and family more safe and secure
• Make your life more comfortable – no arriving home to a cold, dark house
• Save you time by automating many of the daily processes in your home
The Lightwave Smart Home app allows you to:
• Setup your WiFiLink and products in minutes.
• Monitor, control and schedule lighting, power and heating requirements by individual room
• Define and name Rooms that reflect the layout of your own home
• Allocate and name devices within each room
• Set Moods by room for lighting and power – for example, fully on for cleaning, some lights dimmed and the TV off for reading, and nice and cosy dimmed lights when watching TV
• Build complex events to turn on or off multiple devices across many rooms with one button
• Schedule single devices or events to activate at certain times by day, week and month
• Automatically link schedules to sunrise and sunset times
• Add random delays to events to create that genuine “look like you’re at home when you’re not at home”
• Schedule heating programmes by individual room
• Add our energy monitor to see your electricity usage real-time, and totals so far today and yesterday
And you can do all of these things even if you were on the other side of the world!
* Note that this app requires a Lightwave Link Plus and the appropriate Lightwave devices being fitted.

Ratings and Reviews
Good quality, stable dimmers
They’re good quality, they work reliably, and they’ve stopped trying to charge for core features like calibrating the dimming curve.
Works and improved
Some hi elements need more work. For example I’m writing this review and the font is white on a white background. Some dialogs need you to exit and come back before they’ll show and change. Others you to save but does not alert you if you leave without saving. Overall all is a great system especially if you wan Tso merging that’s fails safe during a power cut
Seriously Lacking Important security features
Lacks features from the previous Lightwaverf app. Automation can only turn the lights on/off either at the same time or at dusk/dawn or a set delay after dusk. Who sits there in the virtual dark? You turn your lights on before dusk, the app doesn't allow this, you can only set a delay, not an advance. Not so in the previous app.
There is also no ability to add a random factor in to vary switching time. Lights switching at the same time is a dead giveaway that there is no one home. This was possible in the previous app.
