Lotus Lantern is a free utility application developed by fstart for mobile devices. It is a control app made to work with smart home lighting solutions and accessories made by the company Lotus. In particular, it can help users configure LED strips in various ways.

For Lotus LED strips

There are five ways to use Lotus Lantern, with the first being the standard color picker function. The next lets you pick from various built-in effect presets. You can also have work while music is playing so you can see it react to certain sounds as songs are playing in the background.

Moving on, you can set it to react to sound and voices coming from internal or external mics. Lastly, you can automate certain lighting scenarios using the schedule feature. Sadly, the app suffers from frequent crashes and some users report having connection and pairing issues with their light strips.

Decent control app

In summary, if you own a Lotus LED strip light, the Lotus Lantern app is pretty much a must-have to gain full control over your lighting. It's easy to use and provides plenty of extra features that many will like. Hopefully, the aforementioned issues above will be addressed promptly.
