Most people set it up once and barely touch it: warm white at sunset every night, Christmas on Autopilot in December, team colours on game night. When you do want to play, the app goes deep.
The Hub2 controller connects over dual-band Wi-Fi or Ethernet, keeps a Bluetooth fallback if your internet drops, runs up to 4,096 lights from four data outputs and stores 64 timers. Timers support sunrise and sunset with adjustable offsets and keep working offline.
We set up the app with you at the end of every install, build a few favourite scenes together, and register your warranty while we're there.

We couldn't be happier with the work Baer Electric did installing our Gemstone Lights! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional. He was punctual, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable about the product and the installation process. The final result is stunning — our home looks amazing both day and night. What really stood out was Baer Electric's attention to detail and commitment to making sure everything was perfect before finishing the job. He also took the time to walk us through how to use the app and customize our lighting, which we really appreciated.
