1. Layout: The conguration of the Aurora panels is automatically de-tected and shown in the App. With two ngers, you can pinch to zoom and rotate the Aurora so it matches the panels’ physical orientation.SOFTWARE SET-UPCONTROL VIA APPThe software setup will be easiest if your Aurora is powered on and you see colors moving across it. Boot up time for your Aurora is about 1 minute. 1. Download the “Nanoleaf Smarter Series” app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and launch it. 2. Go through the setup steps in the App to connect your Aurora to your home network and pair with your device.Animations make up the core of the Aurora software experience. Animations are saved settings for your Aurora to display. There are 3 main components to an Animation: 2. Palette: this is a set of colors you use to create your animation. We’ve included a few in the App, but you can create as many Palettes as you like. You can use up to 20 colors in a Pal-ette.
3. Eect: this is how the Aurora will display your color palette. a. Static: Tap a Palette color and tap a panel to paint it. Hold your nger over a panel to change the brightness of that individual panel. b. Random: This will take your Palette colors and randomly animate them across your panels. c. Flow: Imagine pouring each Palette color onto your panels. Watch the color ow in a direction of your choosing. d. Wheel: Provides a continuous moving gradient of color created from your Palette. e. Highlight: Just like random, but you will mostly see the color on the left of your Palette. The other colors fade in periodically. f. Fade: The aurora cycles through your Palette colors all together. g. Burst: Your Palette colors radiate out from the center of the Aurora panels.4. Options: these modify how an Eect Type works. a. Speed: How quickly do you want your Animations to go? This acts a bit dierently depending on the Eect type. b. OR : For the Random, Highlight, 12 and Fade Eects, this changes how long the Aurora panels stay at a given color. moves from color to color without delay, will pause at each color before moving to the next. c. Direction: This tells the Aurora which way to direct your color in Flow and Wheel. This direction depends on the rotation you’ve selected for the panels. d. OR : This changes how many palette colors are shown on the Aurora at once. The higher the number, the more of your Palette is painted across your Aurora!CONTROL VIA APP

The following recommendations can help your Nanoleaf Aurora achieve the best wireless range & network reception.Best Locations for Nanoleaf Aurora: ▪ Place your Aurora in an open area where there are few obstructions, such as large pieces of furniture or walls. Place it away from metallic surfaces. ▪ Avoid placing your Aurora behind furniture or inside cabinets. ▪ Don‘t place your Aurora in areas surrounded by metal surfaces on three or more sides. This can cause signal issues. ▪ Try to place your Aurora at least 25 feet (8 meters) away from any microwave oven, 2.4 GHz cordless phone, Wi devices, or other source of interference. ▪ Place your Aurora as close to your Wi home router as possible. For best performance, keep the distance below 65 feet (20 meters) and have no more than one wall in between.PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONSWi-Fi Troubleshooting 1. Wi Status Indicator. After the 1 minute bootup, the Wi Status indicator will show wi status. a. Solid: Your Aurora is ready to be connected to your home network. b. Flashing (1s interval): Wi conguration has timed out. Power cycle or hold the on button and animation select button together for 5 seconds. c. Unlit: Wi is congured and connected to your router. d. Flashing (4s interval): Wi is congured, but the Aurora cannot connect to the target network. It will continue trying unless you reset the Wi by holding the on button and animation select button together for 5 seconds.TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING
I can’t see my Aurora in the App for setup: 1. If the Wi status indicator is lit: a. Make sure your mobile device wi is on. b. Try moving your mobile device closer to your Aurora. The App connects directly to the Aurora in order to setup wi. c. Try turning your mobile device wi o and back on 2. If the Wi status indicator is not lit, your Aurora is already on a wi network. a. Make sure your mobile device is on the same network b. Try turning your mobile device wi o and back on. 3. If the Wi status indicator is ashing: a. See Wi troubleshooting section for more details.Resetting the Aurora1. Resetting Wi settings.

My beautiful Aurora masterpiece with 50 panels is not functioning correctly:We are afraid that only 30 panels are supported by a single controller and power supply. If you are inspired to go big, you will need to have separate controllers and power supplies each handling at most 30 panels. You can pair more than one Aurora system with your smartphone.
