Connection Methods You can connect to the controller via WiFi or Bluetooth. The default connection is WiFi, but you can manually switch between the two in the app. Connecting to Wifi 1. Ensure your phone is connected to your home’s WiFi network. 2. Open the app, and it will send your WiFi name and password to the controller. The network configuration typically takes 1 minute. 3. After setup, you can share your account to allow others to control the lights without reconfiguring the device. If you can’t connect to WIFI you may need to press the WIFI reset button on the controller. The controller is located inside your waterproof box. Bluetooth Connection Bluetooth allows for short-range control (about 10 meters). The phone doesn’t need an internet connection when using Bluetooth. It’s a backup connection if WiFi is unavailable or offline. Bluetooth Access • Tap the Bluetooth icon to control the lights via Bluetooth when WiFi is unavailable. Bluetooth provides the same control options but requires you to be within range. Grouping Controllers • If you have multiple controllers, you can group them together for easier management. However, note that timers and custom modes are not supported in grouped controllers. Power On/Off • Switch your lights on or off. When turned on, the lights will default to the last active mode or pattern.

1. Press the Install button to download a pattern folder to your device.

2. Downloaded folders will appear on your home screen.

If the Install button is greyed out, the pattern is already installed. If deleted by mistake, you can re-download it from the app.
