CONTROLLING GROUPS OF LIGHTS
VERBAL COMMANDS FOR AMAZON ALEXA AND GOOGLE HOME
TROUBLESHOOTING
1-YEAR LIMITED MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY
Grouping will allow you to control any number of light strings at the same time,
including turning them ON/OFF, changing color, pattern, etc. (You can only
group Novolink C9 and Icicle WiFi RGB D-Lights at this time.)
For example, once you’ve decorated your house for the holidays, you’ll be able
to bunch all the lights in a single light ‘Group’, and turn them all on with just one
touch!
To group a set of lights, do the following:
• From the main screen, select ‘Devices’, then select ‘Group’.
• Select ‘Add Group’, which will open a menu of devices that are available to group (NOTE: These lights do not need to be
active, just registered with and controlled by your app.)
• Add the devices you would like to group by tapping the circle to the right of the device name.
When your done, select ‘Save’. You will be asked to name the group (ie. Indoor Lights, Tree Lights)
• Your named group will be added to the Groups menu, and can be toggled/customized in the same way as a single Device.
Here are some phrases that are acceptable to use with your Amazon Alexa or Google Home, and the WiFi RGB String Lights:
String Lights will not connect to my smartphone app
oMake sure your router and smartphone WiFi connections are active.
oThe lights need to be within range of the WiFi router. Move the string lights closer to the router, then test the connection.
oReset the string lights. If someone else has registered to use the lights, it will not be possible to register them with another smartphone/device.
Press the reset button (see page # 2 of these instructions) for 10 seconds or until the string lights ash WHITE, then follow the steps to register
and connect.
The String Lights will not turn ON at all.
oCheck the wall plug or electrical connection to see if it is active. It may be as simple as turning ON a sight switch for the socket in question.
oMake sure the controller box is securely attached to the rest of the string.
oMake sure nothing is pressing against the RESET button.
oWith the string lights unplugged, check the string to see if there are any damage lengths or bulbs. Do not use the string lights if they are
damaged, or if any electrical wires are stripped or bearing wire.
oCheck to make sure "dimming", or brightness is not set to 0%. Just Ask Alexa or Google Home to set the brightness to 100%.
