Key features at a glance

Create the perfect scene — fast

Scenes let you combine color, brightness, and animation into a single saved preset. Create a cozy warm-white for family dinners, a bold team color for game day, or a subtle security mode for overnight. Name it, save it, and the scene will be ready in the Scenes list whenever you need it.

  1. Tap Create Scene.
  2. Choose zones, colors, and animations.
  3. Preview the scene, then save with a name and optional icon.
  4. Assign the scene to a schedule or quick-access button.

Security & privacy

We built the app with practical security in mind:

  • Encrypted connections: Cloud communications use encryption to protect commands and status data.
  • Local-first operation: Essential schedules and safety scenes execute on the controller even if the cloud is unreachable.
  • Limited data sharing: Our systems only stores the information required to deliver features and support — you control integrations and sharing settings.

Share access safely

Want the neighbors to flip on lights for the block party or a house-sitter to control the patio? Invite users with role-based permissions — Owner, Admin, or Guest — so you control who can change scenes, schedules, or just view status. You can also set temporary access that expires automatically.

Schedule with intelligence

Set recurring schedules or one-off events with flexible triggers:

  • Sunset / sunrise sync: Automatically adjust times as seasons change.
  • Calendar events: Plan holiday displays or party modes weeks in advance.
  • Adaptive routines: Dim non-essential zones overnight while keeping security zones active.

Integrations that make life easier

Pair your lighting with voice assistants or home automation systems for hands-free control and cohesive scenes. Integrations are optional — the app works standalone — and Hawkstone will configure integrations during handoff so everything runs smoothly.

Getting started — quick setup

  1. Download the systems cloud App from the App Store or Google Play (or use the web portal on supported systems).
  2. Follow the in-app onboarding to connect your controller and name your zones.
  3. We pre-load suggested scenes and a starter schedule during installation — customize them anytime.
  4. Invite family members and set permissions from the Account > Users menu.

Use cases — ideas to try

  • Welcome Home: Pathway lights up to 80% while porch and steps come on warm-white at 100%.
  • Game Day: Front gable and patio flash team colors on kickoff; schedule to revert after the game.
  • Holiday Ready: Schedule festive scenes for a range of holidays without climbing ladders.
  • Security Mode: Dusk-to-dawn security zones at a steady brightness; brighten on camera-triggered events.

Have Questions?

  • Do I need a subscription to use the app?
    No. Basic control, scheduling, and multi-user access are included. Optional premium cloud features may be offered — Hawkstone will make clear any optional services and pricing.
  • What happens if my internet is down?
    Core schedules and safety scenes continue to run locally. Remote access will be unavailable until internet is restored, but the controller will keep executing local tasks.
  • Can I link my lighting to my security cameras?
    Yes — on supported integrations we can trigger lighting based on camera events for improved footage and deterrence. Ask Hawkstone about your camera platform during the site review.
  • How long doe the system last?
    Hawkstone products comes with a Lifetime Product & Installation Warranty. The lifespan of a lighting system is influenced by its usage frequency. When used solely during the holiday season, it can last as long as 30-40 years. On average, a lighting system will last between 20-30 years (assuming it is only used during nighttime hours). The components of our lighting systems last between 75,000 and 100,000 burn hours.
  • How long has Hawkstone been in business?
    With over 24 years of experience we pride in setting ourselves apart with our commitment to innovative lighting systems and quality installations.
