LED Light Controller & Remote

Control compatible LED lights from your phone

LED Light Controller & Remote lets you manage supported smart bulbs and LED strips, including products from Philips Hue, LIFX, Nanoleaf and Govee. It suits people who want a single place to adjust lights around the home, rather than switching between brand-specific controls.

Everyday lighting controls

Group lights by location, switch them on or off, and adjust brightness. You can also set schedules, which is useful for routines such as turning lights off at bedtime or having them come on at a regular hour. The app’s appeal is practical as well as decorative: once your lights are set up, these controls can be useful throughout the week.

Scenes and music effects

For a change from steady room lighting, the app offers themed scenes and effects that respond to music. It supports music from services including Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music, and includes moods ranging from lively party settings to softer, more relaxed options. You can also make a theme by extracting colours from a photo. These extras are best suited to people who enjoy changing the feel of a room for music, gatherings or quiet time.

Worth considering before you commit

Features depend on having compatible smart lights, so check that your bulbs or strips are supported before making this your main controller. The listing describes paid subscription options as well as a lifetime purchase; consider those costs if you expect to use the extra scenes and effects. Astraler’s app has a rating of about 4.0 from 29,053 reviews and has reached 1,000,000+ installs. That’s a substantial audience, though the rating suggests experiences are not uniformly positive.
