Features & Capabilities

Kichler Connects lets you digitally control your landscape lighting from your smartphone or tablet. Designed to work with the Kichler Smart Control Timer, it offers preset schedules or customizable on/off times that can align with your location, dusk-to-dawn timing, and daylight saving changes for beautifully lit outdoors.

With Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, cloud and location-based control, and astronomical scheduling, you can tailor lighting to your needs. The app supports voice control for smart-home integrations, lets multiple family members share control, works with most low-voltage landscape transformers, and includes on-board memory so your lights stay on even if your connection drops. Quick setup is possible for both homeowners and installers—simply plug in the timer and install the app.

User Reviews

User feedback centers on a problematic iOS app: scheduling is unreliable or unavailable, the UI is slow and confusing, connectivity/setup repeatedly fails (WiFi/Bluetooth and 2.4GHz/5GHz issues), there is no Apple HomeKit integration, and automations can disappear after updates. Hardware gets limited, isolated praise, but overall sentiment is that the app is unreliable and difficult to use.
Pros
Cons
  • Scheduling and timer features are unreliable or missing; presets are often greyed out or fail to apply.
  • Poor UI/UX and overall usability; the app is sluggish, confusing, and hard to navigate.
  • Connectivity/setup problems; frequent failures to connect WiFi/Bluetooth, and issues with 2.4GHz vs 5GHz routing and router changes.
  • No Apple HomeKit / Home integration supported.
  • Automation can disappear after updates and other reliability issues.

This is a very confusing app to use to set lights on and off. It drops connection and doesn’t work 90% of the time. Very frustrating for the cost.

There are real problems with setting up both WiFi and Bluetooth connections through this app. My wife and I were excited to use our new lighting system. I’m 29. It didn’t work. I’ve seen small airplanes easier to maneuver than this app. Kichler- hint- just make it like a blue tooth speaker system.

Good piece of hardware and the app is basic and useful. But it has a major flaw and that it does not integrate with Apple HomeKit. This will limit it to applicability for many households.
