Alexa Christmas Lights
That Stay Up All Year
Ask Alexa or Google to turn your Gemstone Lights® on, off or to a new color. Alexa Christmas lights in December and voice-controlled warm white the rest of the year, on homes across Gwinnett, Forsyth and North Fulton.
Works With Alexa and Google Home
Gemstone Lights connect to Amazon Alexa and Google Home, so the speaker in your kitchen or the assistant on your phone can run the lights outside.
Works with
Voice commands
What You Can Say
Voice control is for the quick things. Ask for the lights on when you pull into the driveway, off when you head to bed, or a different color when the mood changes. Something as simple as “turn my lights on” or “switch the lights blue” does the job. In December, that makes them Alexa Christmas lights you never have to plug in or untangle.
Outdoor lights are a natural fit for voice because you usually want them while your hands are busy: carrying groceries in from the car, getting kids out the door, or answering the door to guests. You do not need to find your phone and open an app for a simple on or off.
For anything more detailed, such as building a pattern, setting zones or picking from more than 14,000 premade looks, open the Gemstone Lights app.
How it fits
Voice for the Moment, Schedules for the Routine
Voice control works alongside the automation. The things that happen every night belong in a timer, and the holidays belong in Autopilot. Your voice is for the exceptions: an early night, a late dinner on the patio, a surprise birthday.
That split keeps the lights predictable. They come on at sunset whether anyone is home or not, and anyone in the house can still change them in the moment without learning the app.
Set the routine once with smart scheduling, let Autopilot handle the holidays, and keep Alexa or Google for everything in between.
Hub2
Better Connections on Hub2
The Hub2 controller brought a reworked Alexa and Google Home integration, with improved connections and commands. Hub2 also connects over dual-band WiFi or Ethernet, for a faster and more reliable link to your network.
Voice assistants depend on your home internet. If it drops, the schedule carries on: sunrise and sunset timers keep running offline, and Hub2’s Bluetooth lets your phone control the lights directly while you are at home.

Smart Home Integration FAQs
Yes. Gemstone Lights work with Amazon Alexa and with Google Home, so you can control your outdoor lights by voice. The integration was improved with the Hub2 controller.
Voice is best for turning the lights on and off and changing the color, with commands along the lines of “turn my lights on” or “switch the lights blue”. Detailed work such as building patterns, setting zones and creating timers happens in the Gemstone Lights app.
You need your Gemstone Lights system on Hub2 with its app set up, plus Alexa or Google Home on a smart speaker, display or phone. Both need an internet connection for voice commands to reach the lights.
Voice commands stop until the connection returns, but the lights keep their schedule because sunrise and sunset timers run offline. At home, Hub2’s Bluetooth still lets you control the lights from your phone.
Gemstone lists Amazon Alexa and Google Home as its smart home integrations. On an iPhone, the Gemstone Lights app gives you full control, and Alexa and Google Home both have iPhone apps if you want voice control.
