• Query commands: Simple HTTPS GET Urls to query devices and more from Lumi Cloud. See the Lumi Cloud API for details.

Automation ideas

• IFTTT (video tutorial)
  • Advanced Scheduling
  • Use any IFTTT device or service trigger to control Lumi


• HomeSeer, SmartThings, Raspberry PI, other home automation
  • WebHooks are SIMPLE! Easy to add to any system
  • curl command examples can be used directly from Linux / Pi command line
  • Advanced real time 2 way control is also possible with Lumi Pro accounts and MQTT

Security considerations

• WebHooks require you to have a unique "Browser device" on your account. Create these on our Devices page
• DO NOT share your WebHook URLs publically.
• WebHooks do not allow access to your user account, subscription, or payment. These all require your username and password.

Rate limits

• Use of the Lumi API is subject to rate limitations
• All accounts have hourly rate limits to prevent service disruptions caused by user programming errors
• If you have exceeded the rate limit, API calls will return HTTP code 429 which also contains a "Retry After" time. Do not automatically retry on this error code!
• If you greatly exceed the rate limit, you will also receive an email from Lumi Cloud. If this occurs please check your automation for errors.
• Be careful with motion triggers. They need to be configured properly to avoid LOTS of false triggering!
