Ready to illuminate on command? Let's take a closer look at each of this plugin's actions.
Power
As you've probably guessed, Power turns compatible Control Center devices on or off. One major benefit of this action is activating a single device or multiple devices all at once.
Set Brightness
Light up the room in a matter of seconds. Set Brightness uses a slider function from 3–100%. Adjusting the slider will update the key's icon accordingly.
Adjust Brightness
Adjust Brightness increases or decreases the brightness by a specific percentage each time the key is pressed. For example, if you set it to 10%, it'll adjust the brightness by that value each time the key is pressed.
Set Temperature
Cool white or warm white? Set Temperature gives you the ability to switch between the two quickly. Use the slider function to set the temperature to your liking.
The key's icon will indicate a cool or warm setting.
Adjust Temperature
Adjust Temperature will increase or decrease the color temperature by a specific value. Similar to Adjust Brightness, it'll adjust temperature each time the key is pressed.
Color
Color changes the color of your Elgato Light Strip. Use the color box to select a color or adjust brightness. To adjust color temperature, select the color temperature box.
Battery
Display your device's battery life in one of two modes. The icon's appearance will update when your battery is charging.
Scene
Looking to set the mood? The Scene action transitions between your favorite light scenes, such as Sunrise or Rainbow. Best for devices like Light Strip.
