Smart LED lighting control apps

This cluster consists of apps that control smart LED lights, enabling color changes, brightness adjustments, and effects like music sync or scheduling. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from, with only three dated entries, so it predates the index or members are undated. On traction, GlowControl leads with 0 stars, followed by home-ios-glow and Corluma, also at 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
