ENBRIGHTEN WIFI APP FAQ
INSTALLATION & SETUP
HOW ARE DEVICES PLACED INTO PAIRING MODE?
If the device is not connected to a network, disconnect its power and then supply power again to activate pairing mode automatically. The indicator LED flashes quickly when a device is in pairing mode. If the device is already connected to a network, use the method for your device type:
- For plug-in devices, surge protectors, BrightLink modules, and café and landscape lights, press the programming button for 5 seconds.
- For under-cabinet lighting, press the power button six times within 5 seconds. On the sixth press, hold the button for 5 seconds.
- For bulbs and tabletop lamps, start with the switch in the ON position. Cycle the power OFF and ON five times, pausing briefly between each flip of the switch.
- For any device, use the "remove devices" function in the app to place it into pairing mode automatically.

COMPATIBILITY & FEATURES
WHY DOES THE APP NEED MY PHONE'S LOCATION?
The app uses your phone's location for several features. These include Bluetooth pairing on Android devices, sunset and sunrise scheduling, automations when you leave or arrive home (geofencing), and weather information.
WHY DOES THE APP NEED ACCESS TO MY PHONE'S CAMERA?
The app uses your phone's camera or photo album to personalize device and group images.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ENABLING BLUETOOTH?
Bluetooth makes pairing easier. The app scans for devices over Bluetooth, discovers them automatically and transfers the required 2.4GHz network information. Bluetooth pairing also works with dual- and tri-band routers.
CAN I HAVE MULTIPLE HOMES ON ONE ACCOUNT?
Yes, one account can include multiple homes. To add a home, follow the steps in "How do I create a home?" under installation & setup.

HOW DO I CONNECT MY DEVICES TO AMAZON ALEXA OR GOOGLE ASSISTANT?

- Follow the in-app instructions.
CAN AMAZON ALEXA OR GOOGLE ASSISTANT SET SCHEDULES IN THE APP?
Amazon Alexa supports timed operations through its routines function, but Google Assistant does not support timers for these devices. For example, Alexa routines can handle a request, such as "turn on bedroom light 10 minutes later." Contact Alexa support for help with the routines feature.
CAN MULTIPLE PRODUCTS WORK WITH A SMART SPEAKER?
Yes, Amazon Alexa and Google Home support multiple devices. When you set up devices in the app, give each product a unique name. The smart speaker uses this name when it discovers devices.
TROUBLESHOOTING
WHAT CAN I DO IF MY DEVICE WON'T CONNECT?
Check your Bluetooth, pairing mode, network band and Wi-Fi signal strength.
- Enable Bluetooth. The app uses Bluetooth to discover the device and transfer network information directly to it.
- Confirm the device is in pairing mode. The indicator LED flashes quickly when it is in pairing mode.
- Make sure you are using a 2.4GHz network. Wi-Fi devices require a 2.4GHz wireless network.
- Stand near the smart device and tap the "test Wi-Fi connection" button. This confirms the signal is strong enough to support pairing.
WHY WON'T MY LAMP TURN ON/OFF WHEN THE SMART PLUG IS CONNECTED TO THE APP?
Check the lamp and bulb first. Verify the light bulb works, then test the lamp by plugging it directly into an outlet. Also confirm the lamp's power switch is in the ON position.
ARE SETTINGS SAVED IF THE POWER IS DISCONNECTED?
Yes. Settings are stored when power is disconnected, such as during power surges or tripped breakers.
CAN I CONTROL MY DEVICES IF THE INTERNET IS DOWN?
Yes. As long as your home router is working, you can still control your devices when the internet connection is down.
WILL MY PROGRAMS STILL RUN IF THE INTERNET ISN'T WORKING?
Yes. Schedules are retained and devices operate as programmed even when your Internet connection is down.
WHY WON'T MY APP GROUPS TURN ON/OFF WITH AMAZON ALEXA OR GOOGLE ASSISTANT?
Smart speakers only recognize groups created in the Amazon Alexa or Google Home software. Groups created in the Enbrighten Wi-Fi app are not recognized by the smart speakers.
