## LIFX Switch
The `lifx` integration does not support the LIFX Switch. However, the `homekit_controller` integration can be used instead for
[LIFX Switch running firmware 3.90](https://support.lifx.com/en_us/switch-3-90-update-rk4zYiXVq) or higher. Follow the LIFX
documentation to obtain a HomeKit code prior to integrating the Switch with Home Assistant as it will be needed during the process.
When using the `homekit_controller` integration, each button on the LIFX Switch is discovered as a
[stateless switch](/integrations/homekit_controller#stateless-switches-and-sensors) and will not appear as an entity in Home Assistant.
Relays that are configured as wired to non-LIFX devices will appear as normal switches in Home Assistant.
### Troubleshooting discovery
If your switch is not automatically discovered or you get a "_Cannot add pairing as device can no longer be found_" error
during the config process, [reboot your LIFX Switch](https://support.lifx.com/troubleshooting-switch-Hk6RWujLd) as they
only broadcast HomeKit compatibility for 15 minutes.
