Set it once. The lights keep up with the year.
A one-time $100 activation turns any Chameleon controller into one that schedules itself — moving holidays, real sunsets, your team’s games, even the weather — and answers your phone from anywhere.
- Once, per controller
- No subscription
- Nothing to reflash
Four things you feel every evening
Holidays move
Thanksgiving, Easter and Memorial Day land on a different date every year. A schedule typed in by hand is right this year and wrong next year. Connected moves them for you — every holiday, every year, on the right date.
Sunset drifts two hours a year
“On at 6 pm” is on in daylight by June and an hour late by December. Sunrise and sunset anchors follow the real sky, so the lights come on when it gets dark, all year.
Game days, automatically
Follow your team once. Real game times, re-synced every night, so a rescheduled game moves with it — in team colors, all season.
Rain Lights
The house lights itself up when real weather at your address turns to rain or heavy cloud, and hands control back the moment it clears. (U.S. only, for now.)
Control from anywhere
From the airport, not just the driveway.
The whole household
Everyone on their own phone. No passwords passed around.
Cloud backup
A replaced controller is a restore, not an evening of setup.
Automatic updates
Firmware updates arrive on their own, not over a cable.
A calendar of any size
Add holidays, teams and nightly routines. The events coming up are rotated onto the controller’s ten schedule slots for you as the year turns.

Activation questions
Is this a subscription?
No. $100 once, for that controller, for good. Nothing renews.
What happens if I never activate?
Nothing changes. The free firmware keeps doing everything it does on your own network, forever.
Does activating raise the ten-schedule limit?
No — ten slots is a hardware limit on every controller. What Connected does is keep those ten full of the right events from a calendar of any size.
I have three controllers. How many codes?
Three. Each code activates one controller. Set the quantity at checkout and they arrive together.
Does a DIY kit need one?
No — the kit comes with its activation code in the box.
What if my internet goes down?
The controller keeps its schedule on its own clock and carries on. Control from anywhere comes back when the internet does.
Make the house run itself
$100 once. No subscription, nothing to reflash, and the free firmware underneath never goes away.
