Lighting Kit Overview The GreenWave Reality 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.
• 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 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.
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 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.
Network Range As with any remote control, your lighting kit’s remote control must be within range of your lighting network 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.
turning off the light fixture, the light bulb will of course 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 and lighting group settings.
Remote Control Overview The following illustration shows the different buttons on the remote control. You can use it as a reference while following the instructions for performing tasks. 1. 5 Press the All Groups button to select all lighting groups to turn on, turn off, dim, or brighten. 2. Press a Group Number button to select that lighting group to turn on, turn off, dim, or brighten. Also use these buttons to program the lights in the corresponding group.
Indicators The remote control has four group number LED indicators and one primary LED status indicator that display the following patterns to show you the remote control’s status during different processes: Process LED Indication and Description Initial Remote Control Setup Primary indicator flashes steadily: During the process of installing batteries for the first time, the remote control is determining the best signal for your lighting system.
Installation Installation of your lighting kit includes installing the light bulbs into light fixtures and preparing the remote control. Installation Steps Before installing the light bulbs, determine the appropriate locations in your home for installing them. The Lighting Kit Overview chapter provides information on planning your lighting network. When you are ready to install the light bulbs, perform the following steps: 1.
5. 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 LED light flashes while the remote control determines the best signal for your lighting system. When this process is complete, the LED light will remain on for approximately five seconds. When the LED light turns off, your remote control is ready.
Remote Control Operation You can perform several tasks with the remote control, including: • Turning on and off lights • Dimming and brightening lights • Changing the lighting group to which a light bulb is assigned • Cloning the remote control to a new one • Replacing batteries • Resetting the remote control to factory default settings Note: Some tasks require pressing the Program button, which is located inside the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
Turning Lights on and Off To 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 All Groups 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.
Brightening and Dimming Lights You can brighten and dim your lights even if though they are not connected to a fixture 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 All Groups button. 2.
the same lighting group (up to 40 light bulbs in the same group). To change a light bulb’s lighting group, you must first 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. Cloning a Remote Control If you have an additional remote control, you can program it to be identical to your original remote control.
Once the data transfer process begins between the remote controls, the primary LED indicator on the original remote control starts flashing rapidly. 3. When the new remote control has finished obtaining the network information, the primary LED indicators on both remote controls light solid for five seconds and then turn off. 4. You can now use the new remote control the same as you do your original. All of the lighting groups and settings are the same.
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.
Light Bulb Tasks There are additional network tasks that you may find you must perform with your light bulbs, including: • Adding light bulbs to your network • Removing light bulbs from the network Adding Light Bulbs to the Network Your remote control can manage up to 40 light bulbs on the same lighting network. When you add a light bulb to the network, you also assign it to a lighting group. To add light bulbs to the network: 1.
4. Install the network light bulb into the light fixture as you would any standard light bulb. If the light fixture has a dimmer control (not recommended), set the dimmer level to full brightness. 5. Turn power to the light fixture on. The light bulb begins to brighten and dim while finding the remote control’s network.
pressing any buttons, and it will add the bulb to the same lighting group. However, if the LED indicator has stopped flashing, then you must repeat step 6. Repeat this for each additional light bulb you are adding. 8. When you are finished adding all new light bulbs, you can return the remote control back to normal operation by pressing the Program button. Otherwise the remote control will automatically return to normal operation in five minutes.
then they will also be removed from the network since the action applies to the entire lighting group. If you accidentally remove a light bulb from the network, you can simply add it back again using the procedure in this chapter for adding light bulbs to the network. 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.
Removing a Light Bulb Without the Remote Control If your remote control is not available you can remove a light bulb from the network by turning power to the light fixture off and on five times consecutively to reset the light bulb. During this process, only leave the power on or off for less than two seconds. When the light bulb has been removed from the network, it will brighten and dim.
Optional Lighting Gateway This user guide explains how to use lighting kits that do not have a Lighting Gateway. A Lighting Gateway is an optional device, similar to your home network router, that extends the range, features, and functionality of your lighting network. You can upgrade your network to operate with a Lighting Gateway to gain the following benefits: • The lighting network can support up to 250 light bulbs on the same network.
Troubleshooting If you are having problems with your lighting system, refer to the following sections for possible troubleshooting solutions. Light Bulb Not Responding During Installation When 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.
from the network. If this happens, follow the procedure in the Light Bulb Tasks chapter to add a new light bulb to the network. 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. 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.
• Replace a lost or broken remote control. If you have an additional remote control that was previously programmed to be identical to the your original remote control (cloning your original remote control, as discussed in the Remote Control Operation chapter), then you can use that clone the same way as your original without losing any of your network or light settings.
