le petit esprit de la maison

One press, and the house is ready for the evening.

Name the moments of your home — dinner, reading, goodnight — and give every house and everyone in it one gentle button per moment. No vendor apps, no accounts for the family, no batteries to replace.

Pourquoi

Your lights are smart.
Using them isn't.

Five apps, five philosophies

Hue in one house, LIFX in another. Every vendor has its own hub, rooms, zones and rules — and none of them talk.

Wall switches, dead batteries

Come back after a season and the clever dimmer is a brick. The smart lamp is a dumb lamp again, on and off from the wall.

Scene machinery you never asked for

You wanted three presets you actually use. You got automations, schedules, strips and a settings maze — so you stopped bothering.

You became the family's light switch

Guests and grandparents shouldn't need onboarding. Today they just ask you to change the color — every time.

L'idée

A press is a moment,
not a scene.

Pick the lamps, the color, the brightness — name it after the moment it serves. Your presses are yours: warm 2500 K, dimmed and red for the night. Someone else likes it bright and white? They make their own. Common rooms get shared presses everyone can use.

Then the whole system is one gesture: pull up the board, press, done.

La famille

The whole household,
without the household admin.

One email invite. Relatives arrive, you add them, the shared presses are already on their board. No vendor account, no tutorial for your mom.
Pause, kindly. When guests leave, pause their access so nothing switches on by accident — resume next summer with one tap.
Accounts that grow up. Kids get their own home one day, add it to the same account — and keep their favorite presses at yours.
Every house, one board. Hue in one house, LIFX in another — Lutin doesn't care. Switch houses like tabs.

Les agents

Speak, and it is so.

Lutin speaks MCP, so Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude or any capable agent can set up rooms, lights and presses for you — or just do what you say. You approve one scoped request, Use or Manage, and can show it the door anytime. No passwords or API keys to paste.

"Make me a press for the living room — the two sofa lamps, candle-warm, 30%. Call it Soirée."
Done — Soirée is on your Chamonix board, shared with the household. Want a goodnight press for the bedroom too?
Soirée2 lights · 30% …and there it is.

Partout

Pull up. Press. That's the manual.

A small PWA, everywhere

Phone, iPad, desktop — install it from the browser in seconds. No app stores, nothing to update.

No passwords, ever

Sign in with a one-time email code. Nothing for the family to remember, nothing to reset.

Philips Hue today, more soon

Hue works now over the official remote API. LIFX, Govee and friends are on the bench — same calm board, and later maybe more than lights.

Le prix

Owners pay per house.
Family never does.

Everyone else in it
$0forever

Family, guests, kids, the aunt who visits in August. Members join by invite, press what's shared, make their own presses — and never see a bill.

Questions

Asked, answered.

Do my guests need a Philips Hue account?

No. Nobody but the owner ever touches a vendor account. Guests get an email invite, open the app, and the shared presses are already on their board. Your grandmother will not need a tutorial.

What happens to the wall switches?

They keep working exactly as before — Lutin adds a board, it doesn't take anything away. But you may find, as we did, that you stop programming them, stop feeding them batteries, and just pull up the board instead.

Can an agent turn my lights on at 3 a.m.?

Only if you gave it Manage access — and agents only act when you ask them to. You choose the access level at pairing, see every connected agent in Settings, and can revoke any of them anytime. Use agents can view the home and press existing saved buttons, but cannot directly set arbitrary lights or change setup.

Which vendors work today?

Philips Hue, over the official Signify remote API. LIFX, Govee and others are next — same board, same presses. Longer term, maybe more than lights, with the same no-fluff rule.
