Can I use Trimlight with both Android or iPhone?
Yes. Trimlight Edge is available for both Apple and Android mobile devices, so your lighting system is not tied to one type of phone. You can download the app on a compatible iPhone or iPad through the Apple App Store, or on a compatible Android device through Google Play. This makes it easy for households that use a mix of Apple and Android devices to access the same Trimlight system.
For Apple users, search the App Store for Trimlight Edge. Apple currently lists the app as requiring iOS 12.0 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 12.0 or later on iPad. Android users can find Trimlight Edge through Google Play. Trimlight recommends searching for “Trimlight Edge” specifically so you install the correct app for an Edge controller.
Trimlight Edge can also be installed on more than one compatible device. Sign in with the Trimlight account connected to your controller to access the system from another supported phone or tablet. Trimlight recommends that only one device control the system at a time, which can help prevent conflicting commands while someone else is making changes.
What About Mac Computers?
Apple currently lists Trimlight Edge as compatible with Macs running macOS 11.0 or later with an Apple M1 chip or newer. However, the App Store also labels the app as not verified for macOS. Because of that, an iPhone, iPad, or Android device remains the more straightforward choice for everyday setup and control.
What About Windows PCs?
Trimlight does not support Windows PCs as a standard control platform. Trimlight describes its system as app-driven and directs users to compatible Apple and Android devices rather than PCs.
If you are moving to a new phone or tablet, install the correct Trimlight app, sign in with the account tied to your controller, and confirm that the controller appears before making changes. Keeping the app and your device software updated can also help maintain compatibility as new versions are released.
