One App, One System: Integrating Landscape Series with Your Roofline Lights

Why one app matters more than it might seem

Managing roofline lighting and yard lighting from a single app means one login, one set of scenes, and one place to make changes rather than switching between separate systems for different parts of your property. That convenience compounds over time, especially around holidays or events when you want everything coordinated at once.

Traditional landscape lighting systems, the kind with a simple timer and transformer, generally do not offer this kind of integration since they are not built around the same smart, app-based control.

For homeowners who value simplicity in daily use, this is one of the more practical reasons to stay within the same product ecosystem rather than mixing brands across different areas of the yard.

How a combined system is physically wired

Landscape Series fixtures connect back to the same controller infrastructure used for roofline lighting, though depending on the size of your property and the number of fixtures, this may involve an additional controller rather than one unit handling everything. We evaluate this during the site walk for any expansion project.

Wiring for ground-level fixtures runs differently than roofline track, typically buried at a shallow depth along garden beds and walkways rather than mounted to the house, but it all reports back to the same overall system.

This is one of the reasons a second site walk is worth doing even if you already had a roofline install, since yard wiring and controller capacity are different considerations than what was assessed for the original roofline project.

Running coordinated scenes across the property

Once integrated, you can build a scene that runs a specific color across the roofline while simultaneously running warm white on the pathway and uplighting, all triggered from the same button in the app. This is useful for holidays, parties, or simply a consistent nightly look across the whole property.

You can also keep zones independent, running the roofline on a color scene while the yard stays on a simple warm white default, if that better suits how you actually use your outdoor space.

Because both systems share the same underlying scene-building tools, setting up a coordinated look is not meaningfully more complicated than setting up roofline scenes alone.

• Build one scene that runs coordinated colors across roofline and yard
• Keep zones independent if you prefer different looks for each area
• Schedule roofline and yard lighting on the same or different timers
• Adjust everything from one app without switching accounts or systems

Adding landscape lighting as a second phase

If you already have roofline lighting installed, adding Landscape Series fixtures is generally a straightforward second project rather than a full system replacement. Your existing controller and app account carry over, and the new fixtures are added into the same ecosystem during the follow-up install.

This is similar in structure to how homeowners commonly expand Govee lighting from front to back, phasing projects across a property rather than doing everything in one visit.

We recommend mentioning any future plans for yard lighting during your original roofline quote, even if you are not ready to move forward yet, so we can plan controller capacity accordingly.

Do you need roofline lighting first

No, Landscape Series can be installed as a standalone system for homeowners who are not interested in roofline lighting at all. The integration benefit is specifically valuable if you already have or plan to add a roofline system, but it is not a requirement to get started with yard lighting.

If you are unsure which to start with, most homeowners either begin with the roofline for maximum street-level visibility or with the yard if their priority is highlighting specific landscaping features rather than the house itself.
