Setting Up Your New Smart Security Light To setup your new Smart Security Light, please make sure it's successfully installed, and that status LED on the bottom left-hand side of your light is flashing red. Step 1 - Download the Kuna App First, download the free Kuna app from the Apple App Store (for iOS) or the Google Play Store (for Android). You will need to create an account specifically for the Kuna app, even if you have created a separate account for the online store.
As soon as you have re-entered your password, click Next on the top right-hand corner of the screen. Then confirm that you would like to use that email address for your Kuna account, and you'll be all set. Your Kuna account has now been created, and you can skip to Step 4! Step 3 - Log In To Your Kuna Account If you already have an account, you will log into the Kuna app using your Kuna account email and password. First, click the Log In button on the Welcome screen.
Once you click Log In, you'll be prompted to log in using your Kuna account email address and password. If you don't remember your password, click the Forgot Your Password? option to reset your Kuna account password.
After entering your Kuna account email address and password, click NEXT on the top right-hand corner of your screen. You're now signed into your Kuna account! Step 4 - Pair Your Smart Security Light to Your Account Once you log in to your Kuna account, you will see the Devices tab. If you have not yet paired any devices or if you do not have shared access to any devices, you will see the Welcome screen below. To pair a device from the Welcome screen, click the Add Device button.
Once you have clicked either the Device Plus button or the Add Device button, you will be prompted to choose the type of device you would like to pair with your account. In this walkthrough, we'll be setting up a Smart Security Light, so choose that option by tapping on the picture of the Smart Security Light.
To find out more about pairing a Kuna Companion, click here. To set up a Toucan camera, click here. Because this process uses the Bluetooth on your mobile device, you will need to be close to your Smart Security Light. We recommend holding your mobile device no more than 5 feet away from your light during this initial pairing process. If there are multiple Smart Security Lights in the area, like in the screen shot below, the mobile app will tell you which one is the closest.
Please Note: If you are setting up multiple Smart Security Lights, you will need to go through this set-up process for each new Smart Security Light, starting at Step 4. This allows you to set different locations and Wi-Fi networks for each Smart Security Light, if you wish. Step 5 - Choose a Name for Your Device After selecting the Smart Security Light that you would like to pair, the mobile app will prompt you to choose a name for this new light.
Step 6 - Connect Your Smart Security Light to Wi-Fi Now that you have chosen a name for your Smart Security Light, it's time to connect it to your home's Wi-Fi network. The mobile app displays all of the Wi-Fi networks that it is able to find in the area. Make sure that your home's Wi-Fi network displays at least two bars in the mobile app. If your Wi-Fi network shows less than two bars, or is not displayed in this section, move your wireless router closer to your Smart Security Light.
Once you have selected the network for your Smart Security Light, click into the WiFi password section and enter your home network's WiFi password. We suggest using the Show Password function, to ensure that your password is entered correctly. Once your WiFi password is entered correctly, click the Connect button in the top right-hand corner.
Your Smart Security Light will now connect to your home's WiFi network! Step 7 - Select Your Timezone and Location Your Smart Security Light will use the timezone to determine sunrise and sunset times for your location. The mobile app will automatically suggest the timezone your mobile device is set to, but you can also select a different timezone. In the screen shot below, we'll choose the timezone "America/Los Angeles".
If you have setup any previous devices, the mobile app will suggest a city for you. Otherwise, you can click "Enter new location" to choose a new or different city for your device. Step 8 - Select a Detection Sound Your device can play a pre-recorded message when motion is detected, as a way to greet or alert visitors. To use the default Chime sound, select "Yes - Use Defaults".
To change the sound, or turn the sound off, select "No - Change Greetings". Then, select a new sound, or "Off", and tap the arrow in the top left hand corner to go back to the setup process. Step 9 - Set Up Your Light Schedule The mobile app will suggest using the default settings – turning the light on at dusk and off at dawn. If you would like to keep the default settings, click "Yes – Finish Setup". If you would like to change the default settings, click "No – Change light schedule".
Once you click "Yes – Finish setup", you're done and ready to start using your new Smart Security Light! If you need to set up any other devices, simply click the "Set up more devices" button. Please Note: Many of your Kuna App features will not work correctly until your firmware is up to date. You can wait for it to update automatically, or update it manually by tapping the Update Firmware button in your Camera Settings. To learn more about updating your firmware, click here.
