Make your LIFX lights flash when your team scores

Touchdowns, goals, runs and baskets: when a team you follow scores, your LIFX lights flash in that team's colors. illumiscore watches every game for you.

Set up your LIFX lights free

Free for one light and one team. No card needed.

How it works with LIFX

illumiscore talks to your lights through LIFX's cloud, using a personal access token you make at cloud.lifx.com. Nothing to install and no hub.

LIFX lights pulse between your team's two colors for about 16 seconds (longer when your team wins), then go back to exactly how they were, on or off.

Works

  • LIFX color bulbs, Lightstrips and downlights on Wi-Fi
  • Lights set up in the LIFX app, even if you also use them in Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa

Doesn't work

  • White-only LIFX bulbs (they can't show team colors)
  • Lights that aren't in your LIFX account

Connect LIFX in a few minutes

  1. Get the LIFX app

    Install the official LIFX app on your phone (App Store or Google Play) if you don't have it yet.

  2. Sign in to LIFX

    Open the app and create a LIFX account, or sign in to the one you have. Your lights belong to this account.

  3. Set up your lights

    Follow the app's steps to connect your lights to Wi-Fi and give each one a name ("TV backlight", "Kitchen"). Those names show up in illumiscore.

  4. Open cloud.lifx.com

    On a computer or your phone's browser, go to cloud.lifx.com and sign in with the same email and password as the app.

  5. Make a token

    Click your email in the top right corner, then Personal access tokens. Click Generate New Token, give it a name like "illumiscore", and confirm.

  6. Copy it

    LIFX shows the token once: a long string of letters and numbers. Copy all of it. Treat it like a password: anyone with it can control your lights.

  7. Paste it into illumiscore

    Sign in to illumiscore and open Your lights. Paste the token into the LIFX side of step 1 and press Connect LIFX. Your lights appear in step 2.

  8. Pick lights and teams

    Tick the lights that should flash (and give a light a TV delay if your stream runs behind), then follow your teams. Press Test flash on a team to see it.

Good to know

Which LIFX lights work?
LIFX color bulbs, Lightstrips and downlights on Wi-Fi. Lights set up in the LIFX app, even if you also use them in Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa.
Which teams?
975 teams in 24 leagues, including NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, WNBA and MLS, college sports and soccer. Follow one team free.
Will they flash before I see it on TV?
They can: scores come from public scoreboards, and streams often run 30 seconds or more behind. Give each light a TV delay (up to 60 seconds) and it waits, so the flash lands with your broadcast.
Do I need a LIFX hub or bridge?
No. LIFX lights connect straight to your Wi-Fi, and illumiscore reaches them through LIFX's cloud.
Is my LIFX token safe?
It's stored encrypted, used only to find and flash your lights, and never shown on the site again. Delete it at cloud.lifx.com any time and it stops working.
What if a light is off when my team scores?
It turns on for the flash, then turns back off. Lights that were on go back to the same color and brightness.
What does it cost?
Free for one light and one team, no card needed. Paid plans add more lights and more teams, from $3 a month.
Is this made by LIFX?
No. illumiscore is made by Thompson SWE LLC and isn't affiliated with LIFX, any league or team, or ESPN.
