While you can also connect remotely to your lighting network over the Internet or mobile data connection, it is not practical to do so on a day-to-day basis at home.Connected Lighting OverviewThe Connected Lighting kit includes a wireless smart lighting system that helps make the lighting in your home more energy efcient and easier to manage. The kit includes LED or CFL light bulbs and a remote control that work together to help you manage your lighting wirelessly.Your lighting kit also includes a Gateway, which provides an enhanced network connection to your light bulbs. This Gateway connection allows you to use your Web browser, smartphone, or other smart devices to set up and manage your home lighting system as well as set up user-dened schedules and other controls for automatically turning your lighting on or off.Note: This guide uses the term “smart device” to refer to a smartphone, tablet (or iPod touch), or TV.System RequirementsTo use a Web browser or smart device to manage your Connected Lighting, your computer or smart device and home network must meet the following minimum requirements. If your system does not meet these requirements, you can still use your lighting kit with the remote control.Computer (for Web Access)• Active Internet connection (only if accessing your account remotely)
6Connected LightingThere are no requirements for the type of wireless router, as long as your smart device and Gateway are able to connect to it. Refer to your smart device’s documentation for more information on connecting it to your home network.Note: Connected Lighting is designed for a wireless home network and not a corporate network.Gateway Components1. Sync button and activity indicator: Button that you press to search and add new light bulbs and devices. If your equipment came with the Gateway as part of an energy management kit, then you typically do not have to use the sync button since the Gateway and other energy management devices were already synced at the factory. However, if you do have to sync your equipment, refer to the Installation and Setup chapter for more information. The button also has an indicator that shows the sync status with your energy management devices. Refer to the Gateway Activity Indicators section later in this chapter for descriptions of each of the indicators you might see during the sync process.2.

12Connected LightingBasic Concepts of Wireless Routers and NetworksMany homes today have a home network router to allow multiple devices in the home to connect to the Internet as well as each other. Many people use a wireless router as their network router so that they are not tethered by a cable that physically connects them to the router. For example, most modern laptop computers and smart devices have internal wireless hardware that allows you to connect them to a wireless router without a physical cable.Modem and Router ConnectionIn a typical home network conguration, the router (wireless or not) connects to a modem, which in turn connects to the Internet. For example, cable companies and DSL providers often provide their customers with a modem that connects directly to the cable company or DSL provider’s network and thus to the Internet. You could connect a computer directly to this modem so that you can access the Internet through your computer’s Web browser or other applications. However, many people connect a router to the modem instead to allow for multiple computers and devices to all share the same connection to the Internet through one modem. The router also allows the attached computers and devices to connect with one another.Wireless NetworkBefore wireless networking became common, routers only allowed for computers and devices to connect physically through cables. This limited where you could place your computer or device based on the location of the router and the length of the cable. With the advent of wireless networking in the home (commonly referred to as “wi-”), many routers began including wireless technology in addition to the physical cable connections. This type of wireless router allows you to connect a wireless-enabled device from anywhere around the home as long as the wireless radio signal can be maintained. Many of the computers and devices built today come with internal wireless hardware so that they are ready to connect to your wireless network. As a wireless device, a smart device can connect to a wireless network, and applications installed on the smart device (including the lighting application) use that network connection to access the Internet or other devices on the home network.Since any wireless device within radio range can connect to a wireless router (and thus the corresponding home network), wireless routers allow you to set up a user name and password so that wireless devices must be authenticated in order to connect. Modern smart devices support this type of wireless infrastructure. Typically, when you set up your wireless settings on your smart device, you store the user name and password for your wireless network so that your smart device is always connected when in range of your home network.Wireless Lighting NetworkWireless lighting uses your router’s wireless technology to allow you to control and manage your lights from a smart device. To do this, the Gateway in your lighting kit is built to communicate with the wireless light bulbs. Since the Gateway connects to your wireless router, other devices connected to that same router (such as your smart device) can access the Gateway.
14Connected LightingWith your wireless light bulbs connected to the Gateway, your smart device can control them as long as the smart device is running the appropriate application. The lighting application enables your smart device to connect to the Gateway through your wireless router connection and in turn control and manage the attached network lighting.Low Power - NetworkingThe Gateway and network lighting on your energy management system communicate with each other using a low power wireless networking technology. The low power network, the wireless devices (in this case your Gateway and network lighting) are able to interact with each other over the network by sending data from one device to the next, using the best radio signal path on the network. This path does not have to be a direct connection between the Gateway and a network light bulb. It can be through any combination of network light bulbs on the low power network. So, while a network light bulb in a distant room might not be able to communicate directly with the Gateway, it can communicate with another nearby network light bulb that will pass the signal across the low power network until it reaches the Gateway.Since wireless devices on a low power network have built-in antennas for radio communication with other connected devices, they may be prone to the same reception problems that you might have with your mobile phone inside a building. Your Gateway can have trouble communicating with the network lighting if their radio signals are blocked by obstacles such as large metal panels or walls containing wire mesh.Refer to the Installation Tips section in the Installation and Setup chapter for other issues that could affect Gateway reception with the network lighting.
16Connected LightingLocal vs. Remote ConnectionIn networking, you will commonly hear the following terms to describe how a device may be connecting to the network:• Local refers to a network connection when the device is connected directly to that network’s router. For example, when you are at home, your smart device or Web browser (through your computer) would be connected to your wireless router and therefore would be connected locally. You would not have to use an Internet or mobile data connection because your smart device is already connected directly through your router. It can access your lighting network locally because your lighting network is also attached to the same router (through the Gateway).• Remote (not to be confused with remote control) refers to a network connection when the device is not connected directly to that network’s router. In this case, the device uses an Internet or mobile data connection to reach your network router. For example, if you are at work and need to access your network, you would access it remotely. With a remote connection, your device typically uses some form of authentication so that your network router knows that it can trust your device when it requests a connection. With the lighting network, you must have a password-protected online account to which you log in through a smart device. This authenticated login lets your network know that it is safe to accept the connection.Example of Wireless NetworkThe following illustration shows an example of a wireless home network with lighting:Local ConnectionRemote ConnectionInternet
18Connected LightingBasic Concepts of Network Light BulbsNetwork light bulbs work with your light xtures the same way as standard light bulbs. They are different, however, in a couple of ways:• The lighting element in the light bulb uses energy-efcient CFL or LED technology.• The light bulb includes wireless technology that allows the light bulb to connect to a network and be managed remotely. Because the light bulbs can be connected to a network, you have greater exibility in how you use them. For example, you can program your lighting network so that when you press a button upon arriving home, an entryway and a hallway light turn on. Or when you go to bed, your remote control can turn off all lights on the network. You can also use your smartphone to control your lighting network and set up schedules to automatically turn your lights on and off at predened times.Maximum Number of Network Light BulbsThere is a limit to the number of light bulbs at which the performance of the lighting network begins to decrease. For example, the time it takes a light bulb to respond may start to increase if too many light bulbs are installed on the lighting network. Testing has shown that the lighting network should be limited to a maximum of 250 light bulbs to maintain reliability in performance.Planning Your Lighting NetworkWhether you have only one wireless light bulb or you are replacing your entire home with wireless light bulbs, you should plan how you want the lighting on your network to behave. For example, if you only have one light bulb you might want to place it in a central location that would be optimum for turning on and off when you are away or arrive home. If you have multiple light bulbs, however, you might want to set them up in rooms and lighting groups to be able to better manage them across your home.Note: Light xtures that have dimmer controls are not recommended for your network light bulbs. However, they can in most cases be used if the dimmer level is set to 100%.RoomsWhen organizing your network light bulbs, you can set them up into rooms. Then you can use your smart device to turn on and off light xtures in selected rooms. A room is a set of network light bulbs that exist in a physical room in your home and can be controlled through your smart device or Web browser. For example, a bedroom in your home might have two light xtures with network light bulbs and one xture with a standard light bulb. The two network light bulbs in that bedroom are organized under that room. If you were to turn on all lights in that room, both network light bulbs would turn on.Note: You cannot use your remote control to set up or control rooms.
20Connected LightingMulti-socket Light FixturesWhen installing light bulbs or setting up lighting groups, you should consider how you want multi-socket light xtures to behave. Since power to the light has to remain on (so that you can access the light bulb from your smart device or remote control) you would use either all network light bulbs in a multi-socket light xture or no network light bulbs at all.When setting up your lighting through your smart device (which you will do in the Smart Device Application chapter), you will see that you can set up a “virtual” light xture. This means that you can set up any grouping of light bulbs to operate (turn on and off together) as one multi-socket light xture. Typically you will only use this feature to set up an actual multi-socket light xture. However, you could also use it in cases where you have multiple lights that you want to behave as a multi-socket light xture (for example, if you have two separate desk lamps that you want to operate together).Network RangeNetwork Setup - For the Gateway and network light bulbs to communicate with one another, they should be placed within 100 feet (30 meters) of one another. For example, the Gateway should be within 100 feet (30 meters) of the nearest network light bulb, and a second light bulb should be within 100 feet (30 meters) of the Gateway or within 100 feet (30 meters) of another light bulb connected to the network.Accessing Your Network - If you are using a smart device or Web browser to manage your network lighting, then your network range is virtually unlimited since you can access your lights through your mobile data or Internet connection. As long as your Gateway is connected to the Internet through a router, you can access your lighting network through your smart device or Web browser from a remote location.For most of the time, you will likely access your lighting through your smart device when you are at home, in which case your smart device connects through your home network instead of the Internet. In this case, the range for your smart device is limited by the range of your wireless router.Manually Powering Light Bulbs On & OffWireless light bulbs are powered through light xtures the same way standard light bulbs are. However, you must leave the light xtures in the on position so that power is available when using your smart device or remote control to turn the wireless light bulbs on and off. If power is removed from a light bulb, whether from power failure or from manually turning off the light xture, the light bulb will turn off. When power is restored, all network light bulbs affected by the power failure, regardless of whether they were previously on or off, will automatically turn on at full brightness. The affected light bulbs will maintain their previous network settings so that you do not have to reassign names and rooms or reprogram Smart Controls. If a light bulb has been powered off, the user interface will indicate this by displaying the device or xture as ofine.Controlling Lights Without Your Smart Device or Remote ControlIf your smart device or remote control is not available and you want to turn on a network light bulb, you can manually turn off the light xture and then turn it back on.
22Connected LightingThe intentional power failure and restoration will cause the light bulb to power on. You can then turn the light off later when your smart device or remote control is available.Similarly, if you want to turn off a network light bulb without your smart device or remote control, you can manually turn off the light xture. Remember, though, that the light bulb cannot be controlled again with your smart device (including Smart Controls) or remote control until you turn power back on to the xture. Also, when you eventually power the xture back on, the affected light bulb will automatically turn on as discussed above.Power Failure with Wireless Light BulbsDuring a power failure, network light bulbs will turn off since there will be no power being supplied to the affected xtures. Since all affected light bulbs power on when power is restored, you will have to use your smart device or remote control to turn off any light bulbs you do not want to keep on. Remember, your Smart Controls will still work and continue to turn on or off any programmed light bulbs.Smart Device Application and Consumer Portal Use During Power FailureWhen power is physically turned off from network light bulbs (either from a power failure or from manually turning the power off), the smart device application and Consumer Portal will show the affected light bulbs as being ofine. Even though the light bulbs appear in the application, you will not be able to control them until power is restored.Installation & SetupBefore you install your Connected Lighting, make sure that your home network router is operating and connected to the internet.Step 1: Reset Existing Network Light Bulbs, if AnyNote: If you are not upgrading from a remote control lighting kit, you can skip this step.If you are upgrading from a remote control lighting kit, then you must reset all light bulbs that you previously installed as part of that kit’s setup. The easiest way to reset all light bulbs is to do so through the original remote control (the remote control that came with the kit you are upgrading):Note: If the original remote control is not available, you can reset the original light bulbs manually. To do so, refer to the Remote Control chapter.
24Connected Lighting 1. Make sure power to the xtures containing the light bulbs you want to reset is turned ON. 2. Remove the battery cover from the back of the original remote control so that you have access to the Program button. 3. On the remote control: a. Press and hold the Program button. b. While pressing the Program button, press and release the On/Off button (keep the Program button pressed). c. While still pressing the Program button, press and release the 1-4 button. d. While still pressing the Program button, press and release the On/Off button again. e. Release the Program button. All group number indicator lights and the primary indicator light ash slowly for 30 seconds while the light bulbs are removed.When the light bulbs have been removed from the network, they will brighten and dim, at which time you can add them to your new network.Step 2: Install the GatewaySince the Gateway connects to your home network router, make sure you have space near your router where you can place the Gateway. You can also mount the Gateway to your wall (discussed in the next section). Use the following steps to install the gateway: 1. Make sure your router is already connected to your home network. 2. Connect the Gateway to any available port in your router using the included Ethernet cable. 3. Power the Gateway by plugging it into an electrical outlet using the included power adapter. The Gateway illuminates while it is attempting to connect to the Internet. 4. Verify that the Gateway is connected. The Gateway is connected when both the network indicator and the Internet indicator turn off, the sync button is green, and the power indicator is white.
26Connected LightingStep 3: Download and Install the Smart Device ApplicationThe smart device application installs like other applications you may already have. Simply scan the following code using your smart device. Alternatively, at the application download site for your device, search for GreenWave Lighting. When you nd the application, simply download and install it. Refer to the Smart Device Application chapter for more information about the application’s basic user interface.Startup and LoginMake sure your smart device is connected to and in range of your wireless router, and then start the application on your smart device. When the application starts, it automatically searches for your Gateway through your wireless router. If the application nds a Gateway on your local network, it automatically connects to the associated lighting network.Note: For future connections, if your smart device does not nd a local Gateway, it will try to access your Gateway remotely via the Internet or mobile data connection. For your smart device to connect remotely to your Gateway you must already have created an online account (explained next) and your Gateway must be connected to the Internet (for example, through your router).Account SetupMost of the time, you will probably access your lighting network when you are at home and connected to your home network. However, if you want to have access to your lighting kit remotely through the Internet or a mobile data connection, you must rst set up an online account. This account will provide authentication for you when you access your lighting kit remotely. You must remain connected locally to your lighting network when you create your account.To set up your account: 1. Tap the Settings menu at the bottom of the page. 2. When the Settings page opens, tap Setup Remote Access. 3. When the Account Setup page opens, type your email address and password (you must enter your password twice to conrm it). 4. Tap Save. 5. A message opens when your account is created successfully. Tap Ok to close the message. If an error should occur, a message opens to guide you through correcting the issue.
28Connected Lighting 6. When your account is created, we automatically send you an email to conrm your new account and email address. You must follow the instructions in the conrmation email for your account to be activated.Step 4: Install Light Bulbs on NetworkThe light bulbs in your lighting kit already come pre-connected to the Gateway; however, you must still install the light bulbs so that the Gateway can nd them on the network.Note: If you are installing a new light bulb that did not come with your kit (for example, if you reset network light bulbs from a remote control kit), then you must manually connect the light wirelessly to your Gateway. In this case, you should be ready to access your Gateway during the steps below as you will have to press its sync button to engage the network connection.Before installing the light bulbs, determine the appropriate locations in your home for installing them. The Introduction chapter provides information on planning your lighting network. When you are ready to install the light bulbs, perform the following steps: 1. Turn power OFF to the light xtures where you will be installing the network light bulbs. 2. Remove any existing standard light bulbs from the light xtures. 3. Install each network light bulb into the light xtures as you would any standard light bulb. 4. Turn power on to the light xtures. 5. If you are installing only light bulbs that came with your kit, you can skip this step. However, if you are also installing light bulbs that did not come with your kit (for example, if you reset network light bulbs from a remote control kit), then you must connect them to your Gateway: a. When you turn power on, the light bulbs will brighten and dim while attempting to connect wirelessly to your Gateway. b. Press the sync button on the Gateway once to enable the connection. The activity indicator begins to display a clockwise rotating pattern. c. When the light bulbs are connected to your Gateway, they turn on to full brightness. Press the sync button on the Gateway again to stop the network search process (otherwise the Gateway will stop the search process automatically in two minutes after nding the most recent light bulb). 6. If a light xture has a dimmer control (not recommended), set the dimmer level to full brightness. 7. Leave the light xture switches ON so that power is available to the light bulbs.
30Connected LightingStep 5: Set up Light Bulbs in ApplicationWith your light bulbs, Gateway, and application installed, you can use your smart device to set up the lights on your network: 1. Open the application on your smart device. The application automatically nds the light bulbs connected to the Gateway and prompts you to set them up: 2. Tap Ye s. Your smart device then walks you through setting up each new light bulb. 3. Look for the light bulb that is dimming and fading. This is the light bulb you are currently conguring on your smart device. 4. The setup wizard guides you through specifying a name light, assigning a room for the light, and selecting an icon (or taking a picture of the light) to help identify the light. 5. Repeat these steps for each ashing light bulb.Note: If you skip setting up light bulbs during installation, the light bulbs automatically get grouped under the black room color. You can update the light bulb settings any time using the information in the Smart Device Application chapter. Step 6: Prepare the Remote Control (Optional)If you will be using the remote control with your lighting network, then you must also prepare it for use. Refer to the steps in the Remote Control chapter. Also, if you are upgrading from a remote control lighting kit, then you must manually connect the old remote control to your Gateway. These steps are also provided in the Remote Control chapter.Installation TipsReview the safety information. Be sure to review the information contained in the Safety Information chapter for important safety information you should follow.Keep radio signals clear. Your Gateway and network lighting have antennas built-in for radio communication with Internet services and other devices on your energy management system. Just as you might experience reception problems on your mobile phone inside a building, your Gateway can have trouble communicating with the network lighting if their radio signals are blocked by obstacles such as large metal panels or walls containing wire mesh. When placing these devices in your home, imagine invisible lines connecting between them. Try to keep these lines clear from obstruction as much as possible. Also place your Gateway at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) above oor level to promote reception.
32Connected LightingSeveral factors could affect radio signal strength between a network light bulb and the Gateway:• If the Gateway is too close to a wireless router, the radio signals from the router could interfere with the signals the Gateway is processing from the network light bulb. However, the network light bulb itself does not typically have problems when used close to wireless routers.• If the Gateway is very close to the oor, its signal could bounce off the oor and possibly cause interference with the radio signals.• If the Gateway is positioned vertically (for example, attached to the wall) the radio signal strength could be reduced.• If the Gateway is behind a metal object, the radio signals could be blocked.• If a network light bulb is placed a signicant distance (or through several walls) from the Gateway or other network light bulb, the radio signals could lose strength.• If the (non-visible) construction of a wall contains such things as large metal panels or wire mesh, the walls could block the radio signal between the network lighting and Gateway. This may apply to an entire wall or only specic areas of a wall.Smart Device ApplicationThe smart device application makes working with your Connected Lighting easy by allowing you to use your smartphone, tablet (or iPod touch), or TV to set up, manage, and control your lights. Using your smart device, you can congure lights into rooms and lighting groups, turn lights on and off, set up Smart Controls to automatically control lights, and much more.Network ConnectionWhen you start the smart device application, it automatically searches for your Gateway through your wireless router. If the application nds a Gateway on your local network, it automatically connects to the associated lighting network. If your smart device does not nd a local Gateway, it will try to access your Gateway remotely via the Internet or mobile data connection. For your smart device to connect remotely to your Gateway you must already have created an online account (discusses in the Installation and Setup chapter) and your Gateway must be connected to the Internet (for example, through your router).Note: This connection process applies to any local network and Gateway in range of your smart device.
34Connected LightingFor example, if you are at a friend’s home and they have a similar lighting kit set up, your smart device application will connect to their lighting Gateway if you are connected to their local network through their wireless router (which means your friend would have given you access to log in to their home network). To access your own network remotely, you would have to log out of the application and then log in again using your online account information.My LightsYou can control your lighting network from your smart device by accessing the My Lights page. This page shows all of your light bulbs and xtures available on your lighting network, sorted by rooms and room colors.Light bulb dimmer - Drag left to dim or drag right to brighten light bulb.Bulb/xture control - Tap to turn light bulb/xture on or off. Light turns on to the most recent dimmer setting. Swipe screen up and down to access all light bulbs/xtures if the room contains more than can t on one page.Room and room color - Swipe screen left or right to navigate rooms.Room Dimmer - Tap to dim or brighten all lights in room.Room on/off - Tap corresponding button to turn on or off all lights in the room.My Lights menu - Tap to access this page.Smart ControlsSmart Controls allow you to set up user-dened schedules and other controls for automatically turning your lighting on or off. For example, you can set up a Smart Control schedule that automatically turns on selected lights at sunset and then turns them back off at midnight. Smart Controls can control one or more light bulbs, light xtures, or entire rooms. Keep in mind that activating a Smart Control is a different action than turning on lights. A Smart Control could be set up to turn lights on, turn lights off, or a combination of both. Activating a Smart Control simply takes whatever action that Smart Control is set up to perform. You can activate, create, and edit Smart Controls on the Smart Control page. This page includes default Smart Controls as well as your own custom Smart Controls.Smart Control list - Tap to activate the corresponding Smart Control.Create Smart Control - Tap to start wizard to create your own custom Smart Control.Smart Control menu - Tap to access this page.Default Smart Controls - Home, Away, and Night are default Smart Controls that come precongured.Custom Smart Controls - Swipe the arrow to edit the settings of a custom Smart Control or to access the delete feature to remove the custom Smart Control.
36Connected LightingDefault Smart ControlsThe Smart Control page includes a set of default Smart Controls that come precongured within the application:• The Home Smart Control is typically used when people return home after being away. This Smart Control turns on any light, along with their most recent dimmer level, that was previously on when the Away Smart Control was activated (for example, when everyone left the house).• The Away Smart Control is typically used when everyone leaves the house (for example, when going to school or work for the day). This Smart Control saves the current state of the lights on your network (whether they are on or off and what dimmer level they might be at) and then turns off all lights. It saves the current state of your lights to make it easier for you when you return home and activate the Home Smart Control.• The Night Smart Control is typically used when everyone goes to bed for the night. This Smart Control turns off all lights on your network. Unlike the Away Smart Control, the Night Smart Control does not remember the state of your lights before turning them off. Custom Smart ControlsIn addition to the default Smart Controls, you can create your own custom Smart Controls. There are two types of custom Smart Controls.• A schedule Smart Control allows you to automatically turn on and off lights based on the day and time. For example, you could use this Smart Control to have selected lights automatically turn on at sunset and turn off at midnight.• A lighting scene Smart Control allows you to set up combinations of lights to turn on and off. For example, you could use this Smart Control to activate the Smart Control (by tapping it on the Smart Control page) to turn on lights in some rooms while turning off lights in other rooms.To create a custom Smart Control: 1. Tap the Smart Control menu at the bottom of the page 2. When the Smart Control page opens, tap Create New Smart Control. A setup wizard guides you through setting up your Smart Control. 3. On the rst page of the wizard, tap Choose Name to type a name for your new Smart Control, and tap Choose Icon to select an icon to associate with it. When you are ready to continue, tap Next. 4. Tap Schedule or Lighting Scene for the type of Smart Control you want to create. 5.

52Connected LightingWeb ApplicationWhile you will typically use the lighting application on your smart device to manage your lighting network, you can also use your computer’s Web browser to access our Web-based application to manage your lighting network. The Web application has the same options as your smart device application for managing and controlling your lights.Web Application and Your NetworkHow the Web application connects to your lighting network depends on where your computer is located. If the computer running the Web application is connected to your local network (connected to your network router), then the Web application runs directly from your Gateway, and no Internet connection is necessary. If the computer is connected remotely (for example, a computer at work), then the Web application runs from our server on the Internet, which then connects to your Gateway so that you can manage your lighting network. When you connect remotely, both the computer at your remote location and your Gateway (on your home network) must be connected to the Internet. You must also have an online account already set up to access your lighting network remotely (refer to the Installation and Setup chapter for instructions on creating your online account).Accessing the Web ApplicationYou can access the Web application on your computer using any of the Web browsers listed in the System Requirements chapter.

66Connected LightingRemote ControlYou can use the remote control when it is not convenient to use your smart device to control your lighting. This chapter provides general concepts you should understand about your remote control, steps for setting up your remote control for use, and steps for general remote control operation.Note: Some tasks in this chapter require pressing the Program button, which is located inside the battery compartment on the back of the remote control. Be sure to press this button only as directed in the instructions. Pressing it an additional time during remote control programming mode immediately cancels the current operation.General Remote Control ConceptsWhile you will probably use your smart device to control your lighting most of the time, there may be times when it is more convenient to use your remote control. During these times, you should understand a few concepts that are specic to your remote control:• Lighting groups• Remote control rangeLighting GroupsWhen organizing your network light bulbs, you can set them up into lighting groups. Then you can use your remote control to turn on and off light bulbs in selected lighting groups. A lighting group is a set of network light bulbs that you can control together through your remote control. For example, you might have a lighting group that includes light bulbs on the same oor. Or you might have a group that includes hallway and entryway lights, making it easy to turn on or off with your remote control as you arrive or leave home. All light bulbs in the same group turn on and off together and brighten or dim to the same level. Your remote control has controls for four lighting groups.Note: You can set up a lighting group using your smart device or Web browser; however, you can only control lighting groups (for example, turn light bulbs on or off) through your remote control.The following limitations apply when working with network light bulbs and lighting groups:• If you use your remote control to set up your lighting groups, then a light bulb can belong to only 1 lighting group. If you use your smart device or Web browser to set up your light bulbs, then a light bulb can belong to 4 lighting groups.
68Connected Lighting• Your remote control can control up to 4 different lighting groups. If you add additional remote controls to your network, each of them can control 4 additional lighting groups.• Each lighting group can contain up to 40 light bulbs.Remote Control RangeWhen using your remote control, you must be within range of your lighting network for the remote control to be able to control your lighting. However, this does not mean that it has to be within range of all network light bulbs. Since the light bulbs are interconnected across the network, they can pass commands to each other as long as they are within network range of each other. This means that a nearby light bulb can receive your remote control command and pass that command across the network of connected light bulbs, ultimately to a light bulb you want to control in a distant room. Because of this effect, larger homes would make better use of having more network light bulbs spread across the home, maintaining a distance that allows each light bulb to communicate with one another.Note: You can set up a lighting group using your smart device or Web browser; however, you can only control lighting groups (for example, turn light bulbs on or off) through your remote control.Preparing Your Remote for UseBefore you can use the remote control with your network lighting, you must rst prepare it. Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the remote control, and insert two AA alkaline batteries (included). The rst time you insert batteries, the primary indicator light ashes while the remote control determines the best signal for your lighting system. When this process is complete, the indicator light will remain on for approximately ve seconds. When the indicator light turns off, your remote control is ready.Once this process is complete, you can use the remote control as discussed in the rest of this chapter.Connecting a New or Pre-existing Remote Control to the GatewayThe remote control in your lighting kit is already connected to your Gateway by default, so it is ready to use after you prepare it as discussed above. However, there are a few situations in which you would have to manually connect a remote control to your Gateway:• If you are adding a new remote control to your network• If you are upgrading your lighting network from a remote control kit and would like to use the old remote control with your new network• If you performed a factory reset on your remote control and need to re-connect it to the Gateway To physically connect a new or pre-existing remote control to the Gateway: 1. Make sure your remote control is in range of the Gateway. Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote control so that you have access to the Program button.
70Connected Lighting 2. On the Gateway, press the sync button once. The activity indicator begins to display a clockwise rotating pattern. 3. On the remote control, press and hold the Program button. 4. While pressing the Program button, press the 1-4 button three times consecutively. 5. Release the Program button. The primary indicator light on the remote control ashes while the remote control connects with the Gateway. When this process is complete, the indicator light will remain on for approximately ve seconds. When the indicator light turns off, your remote control is connected to the Gateway. 6. Press the sync button on the Gateway again to stop the network search process (otherwise the Gateway will stop the search process automatically in ve minutes).Turning Lights on and OffTo turn lights on and off, you must turn on and off an entire lighting group: 1. Press the Group Number button for the lighting group you want to turn on or off. If you want to turn on or off ALL lighting groups, press the 1-4 button. 2. Press the On/Off button. If the lights were previously off, they will turn on. If the lights were previously on, they will turn off.Note: The previously selected group (or all groups, if selected) remains the active group on the remote control. To take action on that same group again, you do not have to press the group button again.Brightening and Dimming LightsYou can brighten and dim your lights even if they are not connected to a xture with a dimmer switch. CFL light bulbs, which typically do not brighten or dim, can also brighten and dim on your network. To set the brightness level of lights, you must set the level for an entire lighting group: 1. Press the Group Number button for the lighting group you want to dim or brighten. If you want to dim or brighten ALL lighting groups, press the 1-4 button. 2. To dim the lights in the selected group(s), press and hold the dimmer button. Release the button when the lights reach the level you want. 3. To brighten the lights in the selected group(s), press and hold \ the dimmer. Release the button when the lights reach the level you want. They automatically stop when they reach full brightness.The lights in the group will remember the latest brightness level when you turn them off and on.
72Connected LightingNote: The previously selected group (or all groups, if selected) remains the active group on the remote control. To take action on that same group again, you do not have to press the group button again.Assigning and Changing a Light Bulb’s Lighting GroupNote: This section describes managing lighting groups through your remote control. It is easier to set up your lighting groups using your smart device or Web browser and then only use your remote control for turning on and off your lighting groups.You can assign or change the lighting group to which a light bulb belongs, and you can change multiple light bulbs so that they all belong to the same lighting group. To change a light bulb’s lighting group, you must rst remove the bulb from the network using the removal procedure in this chapter. After the light bulb is removed, you can use the procedure in this chapter for adding the light bulb to the network and assign it to the new lighting group.Replacing BatteriesYour remote control uses two AA 1.5V alkaline batteries (included). To replace the batteries, remove the battery cover from the back of the remote control and remove the old batteries. Insert the new batteries as indicated in the battery compartment.Resetting the Remote ControlYou can reset the remote control back to the original default settings from the factory. Typically, though, factory reset is not a common procedure and you should be certain you want to do so since you will lose any network settings you previously programmed onto the remote control. If you are sure you want to reset the remote control, use the following steps: 1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote control. 2. Remove the batteries from the remote control. 3. Press and hold the Program button. 4. While still pressing the Program button, reinsert the batteries into the remote control. 5. Continue pressing the Program button for two seconds, until all indicator lights on the remote control turn on. 6. Release the Program button.The remote control is returned to its default factory settings. To use it again, you must follow the original installation instructions.
74Connected LightingFrequently Asked QuestionsWill the Gateway continue working if it loses its Internet connection?Yes, the Gateway will continue working. If the Internet indicator is red, the Gateway is not connected to the Internet.Even if there is no Internet connection, the Gateway remains active and will continue to communicate with your PowerNodes and connected devices. The Gateway stores information from these devices in its internal memory and then immediately sends the information to your online account when the Gateway regains Internet connectivity (when the red internet indicator turns off).During the time the Gateway is not connected to the Internet, you will not be able to control your devices through your online account (through the Web or your smartphone) since your Gateway requires Internet connectivity to communicate with your online account.Smart Control Behavior during Internet DisconnectionThe Gateway does not natively support Wi Fi connectivity. The Gateway can optionally be connected wirelessly to the Internet by using a Wi Fi Bridge such as Cisco WGA-600n. Where can I nd the MAC address on the Gateway?The MAC address is a unique combination of numbers and letters that are used to identify your Gateway. It can be found on a label on the underside of the Gateway.
76Connected LightingTroubleshootingIf you are having problems with your lighting system, refer to the following sections for possible troubleshooting solutions.Light Bulb Not Responding During InstallationWhen you add a new light bulb to the network (or if you add a previously existing light bulb that you removed from the network), the light bulb should brighten and dim during the installation process to indicate that it is searching for a network. If for any reason the light bulb does not brighten and dim (if it remains full bright), then turn power to the light xture off and on four times consecutively to reset the light bulb. The light bulb should then start to brighten and dim once it is reset, which is usually within 10 seconds after the fourth off/on cycle.Light Bulb Accidentally Removed from NetworkIt is possible for a network light bulb to be accidentally removed from the network. For example, if someone turns power off and on four times consecutively to the light xture, the attached light bulb will reset and remove itself from the network. If this happens, follow the setup procedure in the Installation and Setup chapter to add a new light bulb to the network.Resetting Your Light BulbsIf you are unable to x issues that arise with your lighting system, you can reset your light bulbs as a last resort. To do so, follow the procedure in the Light Bulb Tasks chapter to remove light bulbs from the network, followed by the procedure to add a new light bulb to the network.Problems with Remote ControlDepending on the problem you are having with the remote control, there are several possible solutions:• Replace batteries. If the remote control is not functioning and the indicator lights do not light when you press the buttons, then the batteries may need replacement. Refer to the Remote Control Operation chapter for instructions on inserting new batteries into the remote control.• Turn power to light xture on. If you manually turn the power switch off for a light xture, then power will not be available to the light bulb when you use the remote control to turn the light on and off. Be sure the appropriate light xtures are left in the on position. If necessary, refer to the section on power failure in the Lighting Kit Overview chapter.
78Connected Lighting• Place remote control at an adequate distance from light bulb. Not only must you ensure the remote control is within range of the nearest network light bulb, you must also ensure it is not too close. Operating the remote control too close to a network light bulb could interfere with the remote control’s signal. You should hold the remote control at least 1 foot (.3 meters) away from any of your network light bulbs.• Reset the remote control. If the remote control is not functioning correctly but the batteries are new, then you may have to reset the remote control to its default factory settings. The factory reset process is as discussed in the Remote Control Operation chapter.Problems with the GatewayDepending on the problem you are having with the Gateway, there are several possible solutions:• Check cables and power connection. If the Gateway is not functioning and/or the indicator lights do not light correctly, then double check all of your cables and power connection. Make sure the Gateway is plugged in to an outlet in your home that is receiving electrical power. Refer to the Installation chapter for instructions on connecting cables and power.• Reset the Gateway rmware (software permanently installed on the Gateway). If the Gateway is not functioning correctly and you have ensured that the cables and power are connected correctly, you may have to reset the Gateway rmware. You should perform this task only as a last resort. First make sure you have an Internet connection through the router to which your Gateway is attached, and remove power from the Gateway. Then press and hold the Gateway’s sync button while reapplying power. This process forces the Gateway to connect to our server via the Internet so that the server can reset its rmware. When this is completed, you may have to set up your lighting network again as discussed in the Installation chapter.
