Today we released Luminair v4.3 for iOS, PadOS, and macOS.

In this release we’ve added new Kelvin “preset” swatches to the CCT Picker. The new presets allow you to quickly choose from commonly used color temperatures, as well as fixture-specific upper and lower ranges, all with a single selection.

Also in version 4.3 is a powerful new feature for Luminair Pro users: HomeKit Automation Triggers. With HomeKit Automations, you can trigger Luminair scenes and other global actions whenever another HomeKit light accessory is set to a specific state (On/Off/Intensity). The new automations allow you to control both HomeKit and DMX lights through scenes and global actions, which will make integration of DMX lighting a simple process in venues, smart homes, and other installations.

To add a new HomeKit Automation Trigger, select a scene’s name label and select Triggers, then select “Configure” under the HomeKit section. Select “Automations” at the top of the window that appears, and then select the HomeKit accessory that you want to use for triggering. Once you’ve selected the accessory, choose a state (and a trigger value if using intensity) and select “Action” and choose either a specific Luminair scene or global action to trigger. That’s it! The next time that accessory is set the chosen state, Luminair will trigger the action you’ve set.

This opens a whole new world of ways to integrate Luminair with wired switches, external automations, scheduling, and more!

Luminair v4.3 is available now from the App Store for iOS, iPadOS and macOS.
