6. User Tips

• Cutting the Strip: Always cut the LED strip only at the designated cutting marks to ensure proper functionality. Cutting elsewhere may damage the circuit.
• Power Source: Ensure you use a stable DC 5V power adapter with sufficient current output (at least 2A for the controller) to power the strip effectively.
• App Connectivity: For initial pairing, ensure your smartphone's Bluetooth is enabled and it is close to the LED strip. If Wi-Fi connection issues arise, try restarting your router and the LED strip.
• Voice Assistant Integration: When connecting to Alexa or Google Home, ensure your eWeLink account is properly linked within the respective voice assistant app.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SONOFF L3 LED Strip Light, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the LED strip with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: If storing the strip for an extended period, ensure it is disconnected from power and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Avoid Bending Sharply: While flexible, avoid bending the strip at sharp angles, especially near the LEDs or connection points, as this can damage the internal wiring.

8. Troubleshooting

• Lights not turning on: Check the power connection and ensure the 5V adapter is working correctly. Verify the strip is properly connected to the controller.
• Cannot pair with app: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the strip is in pairing mode (blue lights flashing). Try restarting the strip by unplugging and re-plugging it. Make sure your phone is close to the device.
• Wi-Fi connection issues: Confirm your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz (5GHz is not supported). Check your Wi-Fi password and signal strength. Restart your router and the LED strip.
• Voice control not working: Verify that your eWeLink account is correctly linked to Alexa, Google Assistant, or SmartThings. Ensure the voice assistant device is online and has a stable internet connection.
• Inconsistent colors/brightness: Check for any physical damage to the strip. Ensure the power supply is adequate and stable.
