Schedules allow you to turn your lights on and off, so you can automate your home’s lighting.

Before creating schedules, ensure your lights are connected to the cloud.

Note: a schedule is a single message sent to the light. If you wanted to set a schedule to go on at a certain time and turn off at another time, you will need to create 2 separate schedules. One schedule set to "Turn On" the light(s), and another schedule with start time set to "Turn Off" the light(s). Further, when setting up your schedules, you are able to choose whether they will fade on or off over a specified duration.

You can use "Leave Unchanged" as the "Power" option. When this is done, the light will not come on when the schedule occurs, but instead change to the new color settings. When you turn on the light from the LIFX app, or using voice controls, the light will be the expected color for the time of day, based on your schedule.
