Basic Concepts of Wireless Routers and Networks 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-fi”), many routers Many homes today have a home network router to allow multiple devices in the home to connect to the Internet began including wireless technology in addition to the physical cable connections.
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.
Local vs. Remote Connection Example of Wireless Network In networking, you will commonly hear the following terms to describe how a device may be connecting to the The following illustration shows an example of a wireless home network with lighting: network: • Local refers to a network connection when the device is connected directly to that network’s router.
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.
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, then your network range is virtually unlimited since you can access your lights through your mobile data or Internet connection.
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.
1. Make sure power to the fixtures containing the light bulbs you want to reset is turned ON. Step 2: Install the Gateway 2. Remove the battery cover from the back of the original remote control so that you have access to Since the Gateway connects to your home network router, make sure you have space near your router where the Program button. 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: 3.
Step 3: Download and Install the Smart Device Application Account Setup The smart device application installs like other applications you may already Most of the time, you will probably access your lighting network when you are at home and connected to have. Simply scan the following code using your smart device. 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 first set up an online account.

You must follow the instructions in the confirmation email for your account to be activated. Step 4: Install Light Bulbs on Network 4. Turn power on to the light fixtures. 5. If you are installing only light bulbs that came with your kit, you can skip this step.
Step 5: Set up Light Bulbs in Application With your light bulbs, Gateway, and application installed, you can use your smart device to set up the lights on 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. your network: Step 6: Prepare the Remote Control (Optional) 1. Open the application on your smart device.
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.
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.

Smart Control Behavior during Internet Disconnection The 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. Frequently Asked Questions Where can I find the MAC address on the Gateway? The MAC address is a unique combination of numbers and letters that are used to identify your Gateway.
For example, if someone turns power off and on four times consecutively to the light fixture, 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. Troubleshooting Resetting Your Light Bulbs If you are unable to fix issues that arise with your lighting system, you can reset your light bulbs as a last resort.
• • Place remote control at an adequate distance from light bulb. Not only must you ensure the remote • Reset the Gateway firmware (software permanently installed on the Gateway). If the Gateway is control is within range of the nearest network light bulb, you must also ensure it is not too close.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same brand and type. 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.
