Connected Lighting
The GreenWave Reality energy management system helps create a smart, energy-efficient home by monitoring
and controlling your appliances, electronics, and lighting. You can conserve energy with minimal impact to
your lifestyle by using our products to easily manage your devices. Simply connect the Gateway to your home
network, plug your devices into our PowerNodes, connect your network light bulbs, and then monitor and
control the your power usage through a Web browser or smartphone application.
Connected Lighting Overview
The Connected Lighting kit includes a wireless smart lighting system that helps make the lighting in your home
more energy efficient 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-defined 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 Requirements

With 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 - Networking
The 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

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
Local Connection
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.

Basic Concepts of Network Light Bulbs
Planning Your Lighting Network
Network light bulbs work with your light fixtures the same way as standard light bulbs. They are different,
however, in a couple of ways:
Whether 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 fixtures 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%.
Because the light bulbs can be connected to a network, you have greater flexibility 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 predefined times.
Maximum Number of Network Light Bulbs
There 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.
Connected Lighting
Rooms
When 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 fixtures 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 fixtures with network light bulbs and one fixture 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.
18
Multi-socket Light Fixtures
When installing light bulbs or setting up lighting groups, you should consider how you want multi-socket light
fixtures to behave. Since power to the light has to remain on (so that you can access the light bulb from your
Accessing Your Network - If you are using a smart device or Web browser to manage your network lighting,

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.
smart device or remote control) you would use either all network light bulbs in a multi-socket light fixture 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 fixture. This means that you can set up any grouping of
light bulbs to operate (turn on and off together) as one multi-socket light fixture. Typically you will only use this
feature to set up an actual multi-socket light fixture. However, you could also use it in cases where you have
multiple lights that you want to behave as a multi-socket light fixture (for example, if you have two separate desk
lamps that you want to operate together).
Network Range
Network 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.
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 & Off
Wireless light bulbs are powered through light fixtures the same way standard light bulbs are. However, you
must leave the light fixtures 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 fixture, 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 fixture as offline.
Controlling Lights Without Your Smart Device or Remote Control
If 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 fixture and then turn it back on.
Connected Lighting
20
The 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 fixture. Remember, though, that the light bulb cannot be controlled again with your
Installation & Setup
smart device (including Smart Controls) or remote control until you turn power back on to the fixture. Also, when
you eventually power the fixture back on, the affected light bulb will automatically turn on as discussed above.
Power Failure with Wireless Light Bulbs
Before you install your Connected Lighting, make sure that your home network router is operating and
connected to the internet.
During a power failure, network light bulbs will turn off since there will be no power being supplied to the
affected fixtures. Since all affected light bulbs power on when power is restored, you will have to use your smart

Note: If you are not upgrading from a remote control lighting kit, you can skip this step.
Smart Device Application and Consumer Portal Use During Power Failure
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

Connected Lighting
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 Tips
Review 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 floor level to promote reception.
30
Several 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.
•
Smart Device Application
If the Gateway is very close to the floor, its signal could bounce off the floor and possibly cause
interference with the radio signals.
•
If the Gateway is behind a metal object, the radio signals could be blocked.
The 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 configure lights into rooms and lighting groups, turn lights on and off, set up Smart Controls to
automatically control lights, and much more.

If a network light bulb is placed a significant distance (or through several walls) from the Gateway or

•
If the Gateway is positioned vertically (for example, attached to the wall) the radio signal strength could

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 specific areas of a wall.
When you start the smart device application, it automatically searches for your Gateway through your wireless
router. If the application finds a Gateway on your local network, it automatically connects to the associated
lighting network. If your smart device does not find 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.

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 fixtures, 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

Lighting Groups
You 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
When 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 floor. 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.
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 Concepts
While 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.
Connected Lighting
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.
66
•
 our 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 Range
When 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 Use
Before you can use the remote control with your network lighting, you must first prepare it.
Connected Lighting
Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the remote control, and insert two AA alkaline
batteries (included). The first time you insert batteries, the primary indicator light flashes 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 five 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 Gateway
The 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.
68
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.
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.
4. While pressing the Program button, press the 1-4 button three times consecutively.

be found on a label on the underside of the Gateway.
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.

Safety Information
Batteries
Use only alkaline AA 1.5V batteries in the remote control.
WARNING: Batteries can explode or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce this risk:
•
Remove dead batteries immediately and follow local regulations for safe disposal.
•
Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
•
Keep batteries out of reach of children.
•
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact
with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools, etc. The US Department of Transportation
Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibits transporting batteries in commerce or on
airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from
short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
It is possible for a network light bulb to be accidentally removed from the network.
•
Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.
•
Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -) marked on the battery and the
equipment.
•
Indoor Use Only
Your Gateway should be used only in dry, indoor locations. Do not use your Gateway in high-humidity locations
such as greenhouses, saunas, washrooms, or patios. Do not use your Gateway in locations where it can get
wet such as near aquariums or running water.
Do not short battery terminals.
