- Save the result as a custom scene for future use

FAQ
Can I run WiZ on PC if I don't have a WiZ account?
No. WiZ requires you to create and log into a cloud account to control your bulbs, when you're using the mobile app or the desktop version. This account is how the app secures your settings and manages access permissions across devices.
Will my lights stay connected on PC if I close the app?
Your bulbs remain connected to your home Wi-Fi and cloud account independently of the app. Closing WiZ on PC does not disconnect your lights. You can control them again the moment you reopen the app or through another device.
What happens if my bulbs go offline while I'm using WiZ on PC?
The app will show an offline or unavailable status for any bulb that loses connection to your network or cloud sync. You'll need to restore the bulb's Wi-Fi connection before you can control it again through the desktop app.
Can I control WiZ lights through both the PC app and Alexa at the same time?
WiZ bulbs can be paired with voice assistants like Alexa, but some users report inconsistency when controlling multiple bulbs through both the app and a third-party service simultaneously. Using the WiZ app directly on PC tends to offer more reliable control than routing commands through another platform.
Is it safe to share my WiZ bulbs with family members through the app?
Yes. WiZ gives you the option to grant access to family and guests through the app's built-in sharing feature. All shared access is managed through your cloud account, and you can revoke permissions at any time.
