Lightwave Controller
Free AppAbout Lightwave Controller
Unofficial app for controlling LightwaveRF lights with a WiFi link when connected to the same WiFi network.
Supports:
- Turning on, off, and setting dim levels for dimmers and switches
- Controlling pre-configured moods for all lights at once
- Renaming rooms, devices and moods for ease of identification
- Controlling from local WiFi or from the Internet (router configuration needed)
You'll need to register your phone with your WiFi link device the first time you try and use it to control your lights. If you need help doing this, follow the instructions at
http://www.gazumbo.com/android.html
To use the app from outside your local WiFi, you'll need to configure your home router to forward UDP port 9760 to your WiFi link device, and enter the IP address or DNS name of the router to the settings pane on the application.
This application requires SD Card access to backup and restore its settings on the SD Card

Won't go beyond the welcome screen. I suspect it isn't compatible with a galaxy s5 as there is no menu soft key on the phone.

Like that it uses UDP commands remotely so never depends on server. Very simple, uncomplicated layout but needs development. For example, it doesn't send the name of the device to the WiFi Link & establishing a link to sending device now needs special link command (for WiFi Link firmware > 2.51) which this app doesn't yet accommodate. Ideal would be an app that caters for BOTH server OR non-server use when remote.

Works better than the official app. Not laggy or temperamental, and I prefer the interface. Would love to sequences added. Well done to the developers.

Love the design of the interface, looks much cleaner to me than the original app. As other reviewers have said would be great to get a few extra icons, heating control and access energy consumption data, but it's free so not complaining!

This is a great app as said before better than the offical app the layout is far easier to use. I would like to see the addition of timers and moods also how about radiator control ? any chance of adding icons so we can change bulbs to plugs or Rad valves, I'm not complaing but there is so much potential here....

This allows easy control of switches and dimmers and makes a good simple job of moods. The only downside is that if the IP address if your wifi gateway changes the app stops working, not sure how the apple app gets round this but it does. Fix this last issue and its 5 stars!

So much better than official app. don't know how many times I pressed the phone's back button to go back a screen and had to sign in again! Slider bar for dimming is a brilliant idea
