Installation and Setup
Before you install your Connected Lighting, make sure that your home network router is operating and
connected to the internet.
Installation Tips
Review the safety information. Be sure to review the information contained in the Safety Information
chapter.
Keep radio signals clear. Your Lighting 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 Lighting 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 Lighting Gateway at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) above floor level to promote
reception.
Several factors could affect radio signal strength between a network light bulb and the Lighting Gateway:
•If the Lighting 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 Lighting Gateway is behind a metal object, the radio signals could be blocked.
•If a network light bulb is placed a significant distance or through several walls from the Lighting
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 Lighting Gateway. This
may apply to an entire wall or only specific areas of a wall.

account and email address.
22. Follow the instructions in the confirmation email for your account to be activated.
Step 6: Install Light Bulbs on Network
The light bulbs in your lighting kit already come pre-connected to the Lighting Gateway; however, you
must still install the light bulbs. This allows the Lighting Gateway to locate them on the network.
Before installing the light bulbs, determine the appropriate locations in your home for installing them.
Perform the following steps:
23. Turn power OFF to the light fixtures where you are installing the network light bulbs.
24. Remove any existing standard light bulbs from the light fixtures.
25. Install each network light bulb into the light fixtures as you would any standard light bulb.
26. Turn power on to the light fixtures.
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, then you must connect them
to your Lighting Gateway:
•When you turn power on, the light bulbs brighten and dim while attempting to connect wirelessly
to your Lighting Gateway.
•When the light bulbs connected to your Lighting Gateway, they turn on to full brightness.
Product Specifications
Connected Lighting User Guide | 10
•The Lighting Gateway automatically stops the search process in two minutes after finding the
most recent light bulb.
27. If a light fixture has a dimmer control (not recommended), set the dimmer level to full
brightness.
28. Leave the light fixture switches ON so that power is available to the light bulbs.
Step 7: Set up Light Bulbs in Application
With your light bulbs, Lighting Gateway, and application installed, you can use your smart device to
set up the lights on your network:

Look for the light bulb that is dimming and fading. This is the light bulb you are currently
configuring on your smart device.
31. Follow the setup wizard 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.
32. Repeat these steps for each flashing light bulb.
Note: If you skip setting up light bulbs during installation, the light bulbs are automatically 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 8: Prepare the Remote Control Optional
If you will be using the remote control with your lighting network, then you must first prepare it for use.
For additional information on using the remote control, refer to the Remote Control chapter.
Perform these steps:
33. Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the remote control.
34. 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. The indicator light remains on for
approximately five seconds. When the indicator light turns off, your remote control is ready.

Smart Device Application
The smart device application makes working with your Connected Lighting easy by allowing you to use
your smartphone, tablet, iPod touch, or TV to set up, manage, and control your lights. 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.
Network Connection
When you start the smart device application, it automatically searches for your Lighting Gateway through
your wireless router and connects to the lighting network.
If your smart device does not find a local Lighting Gateway, it tries to access your Lighting Gateway
remotely. For your smart device to connect remotely, you must have an online account and your Lighting
Gateway must be connected to the Internet through your router.
Note: This connection process applies to any local network and Lighting Gateway in range of your smart device. For
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.
Lights and Fixtures
You can control your lighting network from your smart device by accessing the Lights and Fixtures page.
This page shows all of your light bulbs and fixtures available on your lighting network, sorted by rooms
and room colors.
Product Specifications
Connected Lighting User Guide | 12
Smart Controls
Smart Controls allow you to set up user-defined 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 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.
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.

Remote Control
You can use the remote control to control your lighting. This chapter provides general concepts 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 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. During these times, you should understand a few
concepts that are specific to your remote control:
•Lighting groups
•Remote control range
Lighting Groups
When organizing your network light bulbs, you can set them up into lighting groups and use your remote
to turn on and off light bulbs in selected lighting groups. 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.
For example, you might have a lighting group that includes light bulbs on the same floor. Or a group that
includes hallway and entryway lights, making it easy to turn on or off with your remote as you arrive or
leave home.
Note: You can set up a lighting group using your smart device; however, you can only control lighting groups, such as
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 to set up your light bulbs, then a light bulb can belong
to 4 lighting groups.
•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 Range
When using your remote control, you must be within range of your lighting network 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.
Remote Control Setup
When you select a group on the remote control, the group 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.
Connecting a New or Pre-existing Remote Control
The remote control in your lighting kit is already connected to your Lighting Gateway by default.
If you are adding a new remote control to your network or 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, refer to the user
guide that was included with your device for further information.
