Wireless Router
For the smart device application to manage your lighting locally within your home, your home network must use
a wireless router to which your smart device is connected. While you can also connect remotely to your lighting
network over the Internet or mobile data connection, it is not practical to do so on a day-to-day basis at home.
Connected Lighting Overview
The Connected Lighting kit includes a wireless smart lighting system that helps make the lighting in your home
more energy efcient 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.
Your lighting kit also includes a Gateway, which provides an enhanced network connection to your light bulbs.
This Gateway connection allows you to use your Web browser, smartphone, or other smart devices to set
up and manage your home lighting system as well as set up user-dened schedules and other controls for
automatically turning your lighting on or off.
Note: This guide uses the term “smart device” to refer to a smartphone, tablet (or iPod touch), or TV.
System Requirements
To use a Web browser or smart device to manage your Connected Lighting, your computer or smart device
and home network must meet the following minimum requirements. If your system does not meet these
requirements, you can still use your lighting kit with the remote control.
Computer (for Web Access)
• Active Internet connection (only if accessing your account remotely)

Connected Lighting
There are no requirements for the type of wireless router, as long as your smart device and Gateway are able to
connect to it. Refer to your smart device’s documentation for more information on connecting it to your home
network.
Note: Connected Lighting is designed for a wireless home network and not a corporate network.
Gateway Components
1. Sync button and activity indicator: Button that you press to search and add new light bulbs and devices. If
your equipment came with the Gateway as part of an energy management kit, then you typically do not have
to use the sync button since the Gateway and other energy management devices were already synced at
the factory. However, if you do have to sync your equipment, refer to the Installation and Setup chapter for
more information. The button also has an indicator that shows the sync status with your energy management
devices. Refer to the Gateway Activity Indicators section later in this chapter for descriptions of each of the
indicators you might see during the sync process.
2. WAN (Internet connection) error indicator: Indicator that shows whether or not the Gateway is connected to
the internet. Refer to the Gateway Activity Indicators section later in this chapter for more information.
3. LAN (home network) error indicator: Indicator that shows whether or not the Gateway is connected to your
network. Refer to the Gateway Activity Indicators section later in this chapter for more information.

Basic Concepts of Wireless Routers and Networks
Many homes today have a home network router to allow multiple devices in the home to connect to the Internet
as well as each other. Many people use a wireless router as their network router so that they are not tethered
by a cable that physically connects them to the router. For example, most modern laptop computers and smart
devices have internal wireless hardware that allows you to connect them to a wireless router without a physical
cable.
Modem and Router Connection
In a typical home network conguration, the router (wireless or not) connects to a modem, which in turn
connects to the Internet. For example, cable companies and DSL providers often provide their customers with
a modem that connects directly to the cable company or DSL provider’s network and thus to the Internet. You
could connect a computer directly to this modem so that you can access the Internet through your computer’s
Web browser or other applications. However, many people connect a router to the modem instead to allow
for multiple computers and devices to all share the same connection to the Internet through one modem. The
router also allows the attached computers and devices to connect with one another.
Wireless Network
Before wireless networking became common, routers only allowed for computers and devices to connect
physically through cables.
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-”), many routers
began including wireless technology in addition to the physical cable connections. This type of wireless router
allows you to connect a wireless-enabled device from anywhere around the home as long as the wireless radio
signal can be maintained. Many of the computers and devices built today come with internal wireless hardware
so that they are ready to connect to your wireless network. As a wireless device, a smart device can connect
to a wireless network, and applications installed on the smart device (including the lighting application) use that
network connection to access the Internet or other devices on the home network.
Since any wireless device within radio range can connect to a wireless router (and thus the corresponding home
network), wireless routers allow you to set up a user name and password so that wireless devices must be
authenticated in order to connect. Modern smart devices support this type of wireless infrastructure. Typically,
when you set up your wireless settings on your smart device, you store the user name and password for your
wireless network so that your smart device is always connected when in range of your home network.
Wireless Lighting Network
Wireless lighting uses your router’s wireless technology to allow you to control and manage your lights from a
smart device. To do this, the Gateway in your lighting kit is built to communicate with the wireless light bulbs.
Since the Gateway connects to your wireless router, other devices connected to that same router (such as your
smart device) can access the Gateway.

14
Connected Lighting
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. The low power network, the wireless devices (in this case your
Gateway and network lighting) are able to interact with each other over the network by sending data from one
device to the next, using the best radio signal path on the network. This path does not have to be a direct
connection between the Gateway and a network light bulb. It can be through any combination of network
light bulbs on the low power network. So, while a network light bulb in a distant room might not be able to
communicate directly with the Gateway, it can communicate with another nearby network light bulb that will
pass the signal across the low power network until it reaches the Gateway.
Since wireless devices on a low power network have built-in antennas for radio communication with other
connected devices, they may be prone to the same reception problems that you might have with your mobile
phone inside a building. Your 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.
Refer to the
Installation Tips section
in the Installation and Setup
chapter for other issues that could affect
Gateway reception with the network lighting.

16
Connected Lighting
Local vs. Remote Connection
In networking, you will commonly hear the following terms to describe how a device may be connecting to the
network:
• Local refers to a network connection when the device is connected directly to that network’s router.
For example, when you are at home, your smart device or Web browser (through your computer)
would be connected to your wireless router and therefore would be connected locally. You would not
have to use an Internet or mobile data connection because your smart device is already connected
directly through your router. It can access your lighting network locally because your lighting network is
also attached to the same router (through the Gateway).
• Remote (not to be confused with remote control) refers to a network connection when the device is
not connected directly to that network’s router. In this case, the device uses an Internet or mobile data
connection to reach your network router. For example, if you are at work and need to access your
network, you would access it remotely. With a remote connection, your device typically uses some
form of authentication so that your network router knows that it can trust your device when it requests
a connection. With the lighting network, you must have a password-protected online account to which
you log in through a smart device. This authenticated login lets your network know that it is safe to
accept the connection.

Basic Concepts of Network Light Bulbs
Network light bulbs work with your light xtures the same way as standard light bulbs. They are different,
however, in a couple of ways:
• The lighting element in the light bulb uses energy-efcient CFL or LED technology.
• 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 exibility 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. You can also use your smartphone to control your lighting network and set up schedules to
automatically turn your lights on and off at predened times.
Maximum Number of Network Light Bulbs
There is a limit to the number of light bulbs at which the performance of the lighting network begins to
decrease. For example, the time it takes a light bulb to respond may start to increase if too many light bulbs are
installed on the lighting network. Testing has shown that the lighting network should be limited to a maximum of
250 light bulbs to maintain reliability in performance.
Planning Your Lighting Network
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. For example, if you only have one light
bulb you might want to place it in a central location that would be optimum for turning on and off when you are
away or arrive home. If you have multiple light bulbs, however, you might want to set them up in rooms and
lighting groups to be able to better manage them across your home.
Note: Light xtures that have dimmer controls are not recommended for your network light bulbs. However,
they can in most cases be used if the dimmer level is set to 100%.
Rooms
When organizing your network light bulbs, you can set them up into rooms. Then you can use your smart
device to turn on and off light xtures in selected rooms. A room is a set of network light bulbs that exist in a
physical room in your home and can be controlled through your smart device or Web browser. For example,
a bedroom in your home might have two light xtures with network light bulbs and one xture with a standard
light bulb. The two network light bulbs in that bedroom are organized under that room. If you were to turn on all
lights in that room, both network light bulbs would turn on.
Note: You cannot use your remote control to set up or control rooms.

20
Connected Lighting
Multi-socket Light Fixtures
When installing light bulbs or setting up lighting groups, you should consider how you want multi-socket light
xtures to behave. Since power to the light has to remain on (so that you can access the light bulb from your
smart device or remote control) you would use either all network light bulbs in a multi-socket light xture or no
network light bulbs at all.
When setting up your lighting through your smart device (which you will do in the Smart Device Application
chapter), you will see that you can set up a “virtual” light xture. This means that you can set up any grouping of
light bulbs to operate (turn on and off together) as one multi-socket light xture. Typically you will only use this
feature to set up an actual multi-socket light xture. However, you could also use it in cases where you have
multiple lights that you want to behave as a multi-socket light xture (for example, if you have two separate desk
lamps that you want to operate together).
Network Range
Network Setup - For the Gateway and network light bulbs to communicate with one another, they should be
placed within 100 feet (30 meters) of one another. For example, the Gateway should be within 100 feet (30
meters) of the nearest network light bulb, and a second light bulb should be within 100 feet (30 meters) of the
Gateway or within 100 feet (30 meters) of another light bulb connected to the network.
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. As long as your Gateway is connected to the Internet through a router, you can access
your lighting network through your smart device or Web browser from a remote location.
For most of the time, you will likely access your lighting through your smart device when you are at home, in
which case your smart device connects through your home network instead of the Internet. In this case, the
range for your smart device is limited by the range of your wireless router.
Manually Powering Light Bulbs On & Off
Wireless light bulbs are powered through light xtures the same way standard light bulbs are. However, you
must leave the light xtures in the on position so that power is available when using your smart device or remote
control to turn the wireless light bulbs on and off. If power is removed from a light bulb, whether from power
failure or from manually turning off the light xture, the light bulb will 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 settings so that you do not
have to reassign names and rooms or reprogram Smart Controls. If a light bulb has been powered off, the user
interface will indicate this by displaying the device or xture as ofine.
Controlling Lights Without Your Smart Device or Remote Control
If your smart device or remote control is not available and you want to turn on a network light bulb, you can
manually turn off the light xture and then turn it back on.

22
Connected Lighting
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 xture. Remember, though, that the light bulb cannot be controlled again with your
smart device (including Smart Controls) or remote control until you turn power back on to the xture. Also, when
you eventually power the xture back on, the affected light bulb will automatically turn on as discussed above.
Power Failure with Wireless Light Bulbs
During a power failure, network light bulbs will turn off since there will be no power being supplied to the
affected xtures. Since all affected light bulbs power on when power is restored, you will have to use your smart
device or remote control to turn off any light bulbs you do not want to keep on. Remember, your Smart Controls
will still work and continue to turn on or off any programmed light bulbs.
Smart Device Application and Consumer Portal Use During Power Failure
When power is physically turned off from network light bulbs (either from a power failure or from manually
turning the power off), the smart device application and Consumer Portal will show the affected light bulbs as
being ofine. Even though the light bulbs appear in the application, you will not be able to control them until
power is restored.
Installation & Setup
Before you install your Connected Lighting, make sure that your home network router is operating and
connected to the internet.
Step 1: Reset Existing Network Light Bulbs, if Any
Note: If you are not upgrading from a remote control lighting kit, you can skip this step.
If you are upgrading from a remote control lighting kit, then you must reset all light bulbs that you previously
installed as part of that kit’s setup. The easiest way to reset all light bulbs is to do so through the original remote
control (the remote control that came with the kit you are upgrading):
Note: If the original remote control is not available, you can reset the original light bulbs manually. To do so, refer
to the Remote Control chapter.

24
Connected Lighting
1. Make sure power to the xtures containing the light bulbs you want to reset is turned ON.
2. Remove the battery cover from the back of the original remote control so that you have access to
the Program button.
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. While still pressing the Program button, press and release the 1-4 button.
d. While still pressing the Program button, press and release the On/Off button again.
e. Release the Program button. All group number indicator lights and the primary indicator
light ash slowly for 30 seconds while the light bulbs are removed.
When the light bulbs have been removed from the network, they will brighten and dim, at which time you can
add them to your new network.
Step 2: Install the Gateway
Since the Gateway connects to your home network router, make sure you have space near your router where
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:
1. Make sure your router is already connected to your home network.
2. Connect the Gateway to
any available port in your
router using the included
Ethernet cable.
3. Power the Gateway by plugging it into an electrical outlet using the included power adapter. The
Gateway illuminates while it is attempting to connect to the Internet.
4. Verify that the Gateway is connected.
The Gateway is connected when
both the network indicator and the
Internet indicator turn off, the sync
button is green, and the power
indicator is white.

26
Connected Lighting
Step 3: Download and Install the Smart Device Application
The smart device application installs like other applications you may already
have. Simply scan the following code using your smart device.
Alternatively, at the application download site for your device, search for
GreenWave Lighting. When you nd the application, simply download and
install it. Refer to the Smart Device Application chapter for more information
about the application’s basic user interface.
Startup and Login
Make sure your smart device is connected to and in range of your wireless router, and then start the application
on your smart device. When the application starts, it automatically searches for your Gateway through your
wireless router. If the application nds a Gateway on your local network, it automatically connects to the
associated lighting network.
Note: For future connections, if your smart device does not nd a local Gateway, it will try to access your
Gateway remotely via the Internet or mobile data connection. For your smart device to connect remotely to
your Gateway you must already have created an online account (explained next) and your Gateway must be
connected to the Internet (for example, through your router).
Account Setup
Most of the time, you will probably access your lighting network when you are at home and connected to
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 rst set up an online account. This account will provide authentication for you
when you access your lighting kit remotely. You must remain connected locally to your lighting network when
you create your account.
To set up your account:
1. Tap the Settings menu at the bottom of the page.
2. When the Settings page opens, tap Setup Remote Access.
3. When the Account Setup page opens, type your email address and password (you must enter your
password twice to conrm it).
4. Tap Save.
5. A message opens when your account is created successfully. Tap Ok to close the message. If an
error should occur, a message opens to guide you through correcting the issue.

28
Connected Lighting
6. When your account is created, we automatically send you an email to conrm your new account
and email address. You must follow the instructions in the conrmation email for your account to
be activated.
Step 4: Install Light Bulbs on Network
The light bulbs in your lighting kit already come pre-connected to the Gateway; however, you must still install
the light bulbs so that the Gateway can nd them on the network.
Note: If you are installing a new light bulb that did not come with your kit (for example, if you reset network light
bulbs from a remote control kit), then you must manually connect the light wirelessly to your Gateway. In this
case, you should be ready to access your Gateway during the steps below as you will have to press its sync
button to engage the network connection.
Before installing the light bulbs, determine the appropriate locations in your home for installing them. The
Introduction chapter provides information on planning your lighting network. When you are ready to install the
light bulbs, perform the following steps:
1. Turn power OFF to the light xtures where you will be installing the network light bulbs.
2. Remove any existing standard light bulbs from the light xtures.
3. Install each network light bulb into the light xtures as you would any standard light bulb.
4. Turn power on to the light xtures.
5. 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 (for example, if you reset network light
bulbs from a remote control kit), then you must connect them to your Gateway:
a. When you turn power on, the light bulbs will brighten and dim while attempting to connect
wirelessly to your Gateway.
b. Press the sync button on the Gateway once to enable the connection.
The activity indicator begins to display a clockwise rotating pattern.
c. When the light bulbs are connected to your Gateway, they turn on to full brightness. Press
the sync button on the Gateway again to stop the network search process (otherwise the
Gateway will stop the search process automatically in two minutes after nding the most
recent light bulb).
6. If a light xture has a dimmer control (not recommended), set the dimmer level to full brightness.
7. Leave the light xture switches ON so that power is available to the light bulbs.

30
Connected Lighting
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
your network:
1. Open the application on your smart device. The application
automatically nds the light bulbs connected to the
Gateway and prompts you to set them up:
2. Tap Ye s. Your smart device then walks you through setting
up each new light bulb.
3. Look for the light bulb that is dimming and fading. This is the light bulb you are currently conguring
on your smart device.
4. The setup wizard guides you 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.
5. Repeat these steps for each ashing light bulb.
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.
Step 6: Prepare the Remote Control (Optional)
If you will be using the remote control with your lighting network, then you must also prepare it for use. Refer to
the steps in the Remote Control chapter. Also, if you are upgrading from a remote control lighting kit, then you
must manually connect the old remote control to your Gateway. These steps are also provided in the Remote
Control chapter.
Installation Tips
Review the safety information. Be sure to review the information contained in the Safety Information chapter
for important safety information you should follow.
Keep radio signals clear. Your 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 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 Gateway at least 5 feet (1.5
meters) above oor level to promote reception.

32
Connected Lighting
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.
• If the Gateway is very close to the oor, its signal could bounce off the oor and possibly cause
interference with the radio signals.
• If the Gateway is positioned vertically (for example, attached to the wall) the radio signal strength could
be reduced.
• If the Gateway is behind a metal object, the radio signals could be blocked.
• If a network light bulb is placed a signicant distance (or through several walls) from the 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 Gateway. This may apply to an
entire wall or only specic areas of a wall.
Smart Device Application
The smart device application makes working with your Connected Lighting easy by allowing you to use your
smartphone, tablet (or iPod touch), or TV to set up, manage, and control your lights. Using your smart device,
you can congure 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 Gateway through your wireless
router. If the application nds a Gateway on your local network, it automatically connects to the associated
lighting network. If your smart device does not nd a local Gateway, it will try to access your Gateway remotely
via the Internet or mobile data connection. For your smart device to connect remotely to your Gateway you
must already have created an online account (discusses in the Installation and Setup chapter) and your
Gateway must be connected to the Internet (for example, through your router).
Note: This connection process applies to any local network and Gateway in range of your smart device.

34
Connected Lighting
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 Controls
Smart Controls allow you to set up user-dened 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 xtures, 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. Activating a
Smart Control simply takes whatever action that Smart Control is set up to perform. 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.

Default Smart Controls
The Smart Control page includes a set of default Smart Controls that come precongured within the application:
• The Home Smart Control is typically used when people return home after being away. This Smart
Control turns on any light, along with their most recent dimmer level, that was previously on when the
Away Smart Control was activated (for example, when everyone left the house).
• The Away Smart Control is typically used when everyone leaves the house (for example, when going
to school or work for the day). This Smart Control saves the current state of the lights on your network
(whether they are on or off and what dimmer level they might be at) and then turns off all lights. It saves
the current state of your lights to make it easier for you when you return home and activate the Home
Smart Control.
• The Night Smart Control is typically used when everyone goes to bed for the night. This Smart Control
turns off all lights on your network. Unlike the Away Smart Control, the Night Smart Control does not
remember the state of your lights before turning them off.
Custom Smart Controls
In addition to the default Smart Controls, you can create your own custom Smart Controls. There are two types
of custom Smart Controls.
• A schedule Smart Control allows you to automatically turn on and off lights based on the day and
time. For example, you could use this Smart Control to have selected lights automatically turn on at
sunset and turn off at midnight.
• A lighting scene Smart Control allows you to set up combinations of lights to turn on and off. For
example, you could use this Smart Control to activate the Smart Control (by tapping it on the Smart
Control page) to turn on lights in some rooms while turning off lights in other rooms.
To create a custom Smart Control:
1. Tap the Smart Control menu at the bottom of the page
2. When the Smart Control page opens, tap Create New Smart Control. A setup wizard guides you
through setting up your Smart Control.
3. On the rst page of the wizard, tap Choose Name to type a name for your new Smart Control, and
tap Choose Icon to select an icon to associate with it. When you are ready to continue, tap Next.
4. Tap Schedule or Lighting Scene for the type of Smart Control you want to create.
5. Tap to select the rooms, lights, and/or xtures you want to turn on or off with this Smart Control,
and then tap Next.

6. For the selected rooms, tap the option to turn lights on or off. For selected lights and xtures, drag
the slider control to set dimmer level when light turns on. Tap Next when you are ready to continue.
7. If you are creating a schedule Smart Control:
a. Optionally, tap the ON/OFF, ON, or OFF options to limit the view to only those settings (for
example, if you only want to schedule the lights to turn both on and off, then tap the ON
option).
b. Tap Turn On to set the time of day for activating the Smart Control. Remember, activating
the Smart Control is not the same as turning lights on. Activating the Smart Control means
that the Smart Control will take the action you set in step 6 at the time you schedule. After
you tap Turn On, you must set the time of day you want to activate the Smart Control. You
have two options for setting this time:
• Sunrise/Sunset activates the Smart Control at sunrise or sunset (whichever you
select). By using this option the actual activation time will automatically change as
the time of sunrise and sunset changes throughout the year.
• Set Time activates the Smart Control at the exact time of day you specify.
c. Tap Turn Off to set the time of day for deactivating the Smart Control. Remember,
deactivating the Smart Control is not the same as turning lights off. Activating the Smart
Control means that the Smart Control will reverse the action you set in step 6 at the time
you schedule. After you tap Turn Off, you must set the time of day you want to deactivate
the Smart Control. You have two options for setting this time:
• Sunrise/Sunset activates the Smart Control at sunrise or sunset (whichever you
select). By using this option the actual activation time will automatically change as
the time of sunrise and sunset changes throughout the year.
• Set Time activates the Smart Control at the exact time of day you specify.
d. Tap Days of Week to select the days you want the Smart Control to run (at the activation/
deactivation times specied above).
e. After the days and times are set, tap Next.
8. Conrm your selections. Tap an item if you want to change it. Tap Conrm to save the Smart
Control.
