Smart Christmas lighting makes your festive décor truly clever. Instead of switching each string of lights on and off individually, you control everything conveniently via app or voice control. With a smart plug you can activate your lights indoors or outdoors automatically on a schedule, for example when it gets dark.
Your Christmas tree lighting also reacts at the push of a button or follows your preset scenes. Gentle colour changes, warm whites or blinking light effects, you decide what lights up when. That makes your Christmas lighting not only atmospheric but comfortable and energy-saving.
Smart Christmas lighting doesn’t just create a festive mood–it can seriously save energy. Thanks to automatic scheduling, lights are only on when needed–e.g., from dusk until shortly before bedtime. Outdoors, you avoid unnecessary overnight consumption.
Modern LED fairy lights are efficient anyway, but with smart control you unlock their full potential. Best of all, you keep track of consumption and can decorate festively without soaring electricity costs.
A Smart Home makes your Christmas lighting not only prettier but also more comfortable and efficient. Everything adapts to your day, whether a cosy evening glow or a mini light show for the celebration. The biggest advantages are:
With the Shelly Smart Control app you tailor fairy lights, starsor figures individually. Decide when the outdoor lighting switches on automatically, or activate décor with one tap. Especially handy: the Shelly Power Strip 4 Gen4 with four individually controllable sockets lets you switch several elements separately – ideal for window lights, treelightingand festive figures.
For single light sources use the compact Shelly Plug S Gen3. It turns any socket into a smart outlet controllable via app or voiceand also measures power consumption, so you always know what’s running.
With Shelly Smart Control your lighting becomes fully automated and aligned to your routine. Set fixed times – e.g., 17:00–23:00 – or use the Premium (paid) sunrise/sunset function.
The app recognises your location and switches lights at dawn/dusk. You can even create complete scenes, e.g., “After-work mode”: as soon as the sun sets, the tree glows warm white, window lights change colour softly, and the outdoor lights switch on. Enjoy a festive mood without lifting a finger, and save energy, too.

How to control not only brightness but also colour while dimming LEDs is explained here.
With Shelly Smart Control you not only control Christmas lighting, but you create scenes: cosy, festive or spectacular. Here are some ideas:
Ways to trigger scenes:
Outdoors should sparkle, too–smartly and safely. With Shelly Outdoor Plug S Gen3 you control outdoor lights via app or voice. The weather-resistantI P44 socket withstands rain and snow and suits fairy lights, light-upreindeerand other décor.
Add it to Shelly Smart Control, set schedules or scenes that trigger at dusk – and enjoy indoor-level flexibility outside.
More convenient is hardly possible: with voice control you switch lights on by a simple phrase. Shelly Smart Control links with Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri–“Alexa, turn on the Christmas lights” is all it takes. Control single devices, whole scenesor your entire festive lighting–indoors and outdoors–hands-free.
No, quite the opposite. LED fairy lights consumevery little electricity. With Shelly devices and the app,you save even more because lights only shine when you want.
Add them via a Shelly Plug (e.g., Plug S Gen3 or Outdoor Plug S Gen3) or the PowerStrip 4 Gen4 to the app, then link with Alexa and control by voice.
Yes. In the app you can set precise schedules so the lights switch on and offautomatically–no manual switching.
Shelly devices connect via Wi-Fi to Shelly Smart Control. You then control strings of lights flexibly by app, voice command or automatic schedule.
