- The thermostat
- A scene like “Good Night” or “Movie Mode”
- A camera for your front door (use a 2x1 or bigger tile)

Add Pages

Try It
Section titled “Try It”For the initial sync, make sure both the watch app and the iPhone app are open and in the foreground.
Once synced, try these interactions:
- Tap a light to toggle it on/off
- Double-tap a light to open its control view with more options. Slide your finger left and right on the bottom controls to quickly scan through settings.
- Long-press a light for quick actions — keep your finger down and slide to an icon without lifting. The control opens with your finger still down. Adjust the value and lift your finger when you’re happy. To cancel, slide to the red X and let go. Try brightness first.
- Swipe left to see your second page
- Tap a scene to activate it
