Now Add Philips Hue and LIFX Smart Bulbs To Scout To Boost Security

We are excited to announce our integrations with Philips Hue and LIFX smart light bulbs that will allow us to provide our first visual alert for Scout! When you add your Philips Hue or LIFX smart light bulb(s) to a Scout mode and arm that mode, the light bulbs will flash red when the alarm is triggered.

To use this new integration, you must link your LIFX or Philips Hue bulb(s) to your Scout account. To do this:

  • In the Scout app, go to Devices and select Connected Lighting
  • On the Scout web dashboard, visit this page

Then:

  1. Click on the lighting you want to integrate and you will be prompted to login to your Philips Hue or LIFX account

  2. Add your Philips Hue and LIFX lights to the Scout mode(s) of your choice

  3. When that mode is armed and the alarm is triggered, your lights will flash red until the system is disarmed

Don’t have one of these bulbs? Purchase your Philips Hue or LIFX smart light bulb now, and start integrating now!
