📡

Auto-Discovery

Scans your local network and finds all LumiCore devices automatically. Add by IP as fallback.

Real-Time Control

WebSocket for instant state updates from hardware, HTTP POST for rock-solid command delivery.

🎚️

Precision Sliders

Brightness and speed sliders only send commands on release — zero jitter, zero flicker during drag.

🏠

Rooms & Scenes

Organise strips by room. Save any combination of settings as a named scene, recall instantly.

🎵

Music Sync

Beat detection via phone microphone drives reactive lighting. Color flow, beat flash, spectrum and more modes.

💾

Persistent State

All device settings saved to NVS flash on the hardware. Your lights remember their last state after any power cut.

Our Mission

Light should be personal

We believe smart home technology shouldn't require cloud subscriptions, privacy trade-offs, or engineering degrees.

Mission

Democratise smart lighting

LumiCore exists to make professional LED lighting control accessible to everyone — from hobbyists and makers to small businesses and homeowners. Our hardware and software work entirely on your local network, respecting your privacy and working without any internet connection.

Vision

The future is local-first

We're building toward a world where your home devices work for you, not for a corporation's data pipeline. Every LumiCore product is designed to function fully offline, indefinitely, even if we cease to exist as a company.

About LumiCore

Made in Ireland, for the world

LumiCore started as a personal project to build a proper LED controller without paying for cloud subscriptions or dealing with closed ecosystems. What began on an Arduino has grown into a full hardware and software platform.

We're a small, independent company based in Sabinov-area, Ireland, building tools we'd want to use ourselves. That means real documentation, open protocols, and hardware that works forever — not just until a server gets switched off.

Every line of firmware and every screen in the app is written and maintained in-house. We move fast, respond to users, and build in public.
