Light Lynx – polished light app and automation based on Zigbee2MQTT

Fast, mobile-first interface that actually uses Zigbee groups and scenes to make lights change together instead of the staggered multi-device flicker most UIs produce. Automations run locally inside Zigbee2MQTT and the PWA caches state for instant launches — thoughtful touches like per-group permissions and client-side password hashing show the author worked through real deployment pain. Remote access via UPnP is a neat convenience, but it’s also the one place you should audit before exposing your network.
