Seven reasons to try it
See the app before you download it
- Home: now playing, up next, Quick-select, Evening and Morning Lights
- Library and Discover: your shows, plus holidays, game days and everyday scenes
- Tools: Calendar, Color Studio, Music and Ask Chameleon, one tap away
- Help: answers for every feature, and “Show me” walks you through it
Ask Chameleon
Say what you want and the built-in AI assistant builds a finished show — patterns, colors, motion and cover picture — ready to play or schedule.
- Describe it: “a cozy autumn show, warm oranges and deep reds”
- Snap it: a photo of a sunset or a jersey becomes a show in its colors
- Schedule it: “every evening through Thanksgiving” goes straight on the calendar
- Ask it: “why didn’t my lights come on last night?”
You confirm every change. Chats are deleted after 24 hours and photos right after they’re read — see the privacy policy.
Snap the schedule
Photograph a game schedule or recital list. Ask Chameleon reads every date, checks them with you, and schedules your show on each. Everything it makes is yours to edit.
Everything is a show
Every show has a When (a date, holiday, game day or sunset), a Where (which part of the house) and a What (which patterns).
- Home shows what’s on now and up next
- Priority decides which show wins when two overlap
- Shows on specific dates: markets, open houses, birthdays
Color Studio
Pick colors and an effect and watch the house change as you drag. Save it as a show.

Zones
Roofline, porch columns, pool cage — a different show on each.
Music
The lights react to what your phone hears, on your own Wi‑Fi.
Share the house
With a plan, everyone controls the same lights from their own phone.

Shows and schedules
What’s the difference between a show and a pattern?
A pattern is colors plus an effect; a show is one or more patterns with a When and a Where. Old palettes, playlists and events are all shows now.

Open the show in the Library and tap When.
How do I see when my lights will come on?

How do I change the default on and off times?

Two shows overlap. Which one plays?
The one higher in Priority, in the Library.
How do sunrise and sunset times work?
In a show’s When, set On or Off to Sunset or Sunrise, plus or minus minutes. Set your location in Device Settings → Time & Location.
What do “turn on early” and “keep going after” do?
They stretch a holiday, date range or game day by whole days; the sliders show the first and last day.
