Overview

• A user can coordinate multiple EFX^TM Devices to play synchronously with each other; for example, to turn on at the same time or for one Device to turn to one set fix color and another Device to set to run a color pattern. Another example of a scene is multiple EFX^TM Devices run coordinated lighting patterns so that all devices are playing the same color at a particular time.

How to Use

1. From the main menu screen, select the + button in the top right corner.
2. Select “Create Scene”.

3. Name the Scene.
4. Add the devices you want to add by selecting the devices under “add devices”.
5. Once added to list, you can have the scene trigger the device on and off.
6. Select save in the top right corner of the screen.

Overview

• Timers allow you to program when an EFX^TM Device turns on and off, what color or function (i.e. preset or custom) to run, and what time during the day or night, and what days of the week to run it.
• Timers that are set to repeat will remain on the timer list, but any timer that is not set to repeat will be removed, once the timer has already run.

How to Use

1. Timers are specific to the device, to begin, select the device you would like to set a timer for.
2. In the device’s menu, select the alarm clock icon the top right corner of the device.
3. Add a timer function by selecting the "+" button the top right corner or by selecting the “Add Timer…” link above the timer list.

4. Select the time to activate the timer, the schedule or when it repeats if desired, if the timer will toggle the device on or off.

5. If you select the timer to turn ON, it will run the last color or function that it had previously been set to.
6. If you select the timer to run a color or function, the timer will turn on your device ON and run that color or function. So you do not have to set a timer to turn it ON and a separate timer to turn it to a particular color or function.



Note: At this time the Timer feature allows you to select either a color or a preset function.



7. In the event you need one of your Custom functions to run, you can create a Scene, select the Device to run that Custom function and have either Amazon Alexa or Google Home to play that Scene at a particular time (provided you have one of these 3rd party devices).

Note: Once you set a timer for one of your EFX^TM Devices, this information is stored locally on the device itself and the App does NOT have to be running in order for your timer to work. This then permits you to close the EFX^TM App, you do not need to be present, and you don't even need to be connected to our Cloud Server for the timer(s) to activate. However, the EFX^TM does need to be connected to power in order for the timer to go off at the appropriate time.

Overview

• The colors menu allows you to specify which color you want on the RGB color wheel or use the RGB color slider tool to select the exact output for each of the color channels.

How to Use

1. From the Main Menus, select the EFX^TM Device you wish to control.
2. Note that the EFX^TM Device must support RGB functionality. Devices like Smart Sockets do not and are only switches.
3. Once you have selected a EFX^TM Device by a single tap on the name, you will be brought to the Color Wheel menu. Select from over 16 million color combinations
4. For even more color control, open the RGB color channel slider window by tapping on the RGB values readout found in the upper left corner.

5. You can save up to 5 different preset colors and its brightness level by holding down on one of the 5 boxes found below the color wheel.
6. Note that these preset colors are only saved locally on your EFX^TM App. If you share this device with another user, these preset colors are not shared with other users.

• Reboot both your EFX^TM device and your router waiting 2-3 minutes in between actions.
• Confirm that the EFX^TM device and the router are both receiving sufficient power.
• Confirm the EFX^TM device and your smartphone are not being blocked physically or via firewall to your wireless network's router.
• Confirm the Wi-Fi network is not a public network or one that needs a login page to access the internet. (i.e. the ones found in airports, cafes, hotels, etc.)

• This usually means the EFX Device has no power, is unable to connect to your router, or that your router has lost its internet connection.
• Ensure that your router and the EFX^TM Device are plugged in (i.e. receiving sufficient power).
• Check if the outlet that the EFX^TM Device is plugged into works (some wall outlets are connected to light switches).
• Make sure Wi-Fi is not turned off or in airplane mode on your smartphone.
• If your router has no internet connection, unplug the router for a few seconds and plug it in again.
• Try unplugging the power source to the EFX^TM Device and plugging it in again (this will cause the Device to hunt for the Wi-Fi network again).
• If you had replaced your router or your Wi-Fi network's password, you will need to reset your EFX^TM Device to the factory default and reconnect the Device to your router again -in order for the Device to learn your new network or your new password.

If the display status in the device settings menu is displayed as the device is online but offline locally. To regain access on your local device, your smartphone device and your EFX^TM device must be connected to the same wireless network.

If connect to the same network but still encountering issues, please try troubleshooting with the steps below.

• Move the EFX^TM device and smartphone device closer to the source of the wireless (Wi-Fi) signal.
• Ensure there are minimal interference points as possible. Walls, furniture, and other electronic devices may create interference in signal to/from the wireless router.
• Restart the EFX^TM device (powering the device off then on) and refresh the EFX^TM app's main device screen.
• Restart the smartphone device's wireless connections by powering the Wi-Fi capabilities on and off from the smartphone's settings menu.
• Restart the wireless router by unplugging the router from the power source, waiting 2 minutes then plugging the router into power.
• Try using other smartphone devices and/or Wi-Fi routers.

The EFX^TM device is designed to broadcast a Wi-Fi signal when first powered during the setup process. Once connected to your personal Wi-Fi network, connect your smartphone device to that network to control your EFX^TM device.

The EFX^TM Device and EFX^TM App must be either directly connected to each other via Wi-Fi or both connected to the same Wi-Fi network, which is preferable configuration. If you do not see music and microphone icons, most likely your Wi-Fi network is down or the EFX^TM App or Device is not connected to that network. You can confirm which of your EFX^TM Device are online locally by going to the control panel, then device settings. The devices that have the broadcasting antenna icon lit up are the ones that are online locally and will provide both music and microphone features. If your device is not online locally, try these troubleshooting tips:
