Control when Day and Sleep trade off
Use the Transition tab to set how the house hands off between modes — by schedule, by sun, or by a physical button.
The Transition tab controls how Day and Sleep change hands — the handoff itself, separate from the schedule times.
Open it
Tap the Transition tab — "How Day and Sleep change hands." It unlocks once your LightBox has synced.
Set the handoff
- Time — leave transitions following your schedule, or turn the time trigger off.
- Follow the sun — anchor a transition to a solar event such as Sunrise, Sunset, or Civil Dawn/Dusk, so the house tracks the sky instead of a fixed clock.
- Transition Duration — set how long the fade between modes takes, or leave it on Auto.
Flip modes by hand
Bind a physical button from your hub — a Hue button, for example. Listen for a press, confirm it, and that button will switch the house between Day and Sleep whenever you want.
