Let your lights adapt to the time of day
Use Adaptive Lighting to automatically adjust the colour temperature of your lights based on the time of day. Get cooler white lights during the daytime for enhanced focus or use warmer colors as evening approaches to help you wind down.
Create the smartest home
Your Apple TV, HomePod or iPad works as a smart home hub, allowing you to trigger complex automations. Set your lights to turn on as you approach home and unlock your front door at the same time.

No one can control your lights without your permission. Apple HomeKit is secure, meaning only the people you invite via the Home app can control your lights.
