Smart holiday lighting setup

App-controlled lights, timers and photocells, set up so the display runs itself. Colors, schedules and scenes are ready before we leave.

Lights that turn themselves on

Quick answer

Smart lighting setup covers the controls behind your display. We connect app-controlled lights to your phone and Wi-Fi, and we save colors and scenes. We also set timers or photocells so the lights come on at dusk and switch off when you choose. Pronto does this for lights we install and for systems you already have.

The best display is one you never think about. It comes on at dusk, goes off at a sensible hour and shows the right colors on the right day.

Getting there takes a few steps: the app, the Wi-Fi, the schedule. Doing those once, properly, saves a season of walking outside to flip a switch.

Three ways to control your lights

They can be combined. Many displays use a timer for the yard and an app for the roofline.

Timer

A timer turns the lights on and off at set times. It is simple and it works without Wi-Fi.

Good for a single-color seasonal display.

Photocell

A sensor switches the lights on when it gets dark, so the schedule follows sunset through the season.

Good if you do not want to adjust a timer as the days shorten.

App control

Color, brightness, scenes and schedules, all from your phone.

Good for permanent and color-changing lights.

Scenes for the whole year

A scene is a saved look. We save a few to start with, and you can add your own at any time.

  • Warm white for everyday evenings
  • Red, green and white for December
  • Orange and purple for Halloween
  • Red, white and blue for the Fourth of July
  • Your team colors on game day
  • A dimmed late-night setting

What to have ready on setup day

Five minutes of preparation saves half an hour on site.

  • Your phone, charged and with you
  • Your app store password, in case the app needs installing
  • Your Wi-Fi name and password
  • The times you want lights on and off
  • Any HOA rules about hours or colors
  • The names of anyone else who should control the lights

Smart lighting questions

Have a different question? Call (213) 800-4951 or see all questions.

Can you set up lights I already own?

Yes. Tell us the brand and model, and what is not working or not yet set up.

Do smart lights work without Wi-Fi?

Timers and photocells need no Wi-Fi. App-controlled lights usually need Wi-Fi for schedules and for control when you are away from home. It depends on the system.

What time should Christmas lights turn off?

That is your choice. If your HOA or city sets hours for outdoor lighting, we set the schedule to match.

Can I change the colors myself later?

Yes. We save a few scenes to start with and show you how to make your own.

My app stopped connecting. Can you fix it?

Usually. Most connection problems come from a changed Wi-Fi password, a new router or a controller that lost power. Book a repair visit and we reconnect it.
