2. Safety Information

• **Gateway Requirement:** Our Zigbee devices (Zigbee/Plus/Pro version Products) require a compatible Zigbee gateway for full smart home integration.
• **RF Remote Alternative:** If you do not have a Zigbee gateway, you can use a 2.4G RF remote control or wall switch (sold separately) to operate Plus/Pro Version Products. Note that 2.4G RF remotes are not Zigbee devices.
• **Wiring Safety:** Ensure all wiring is correct and secure before applying power. Avoid performing any operations while the device is live.
• **Environmental Conditions:** Use the product within its rated voltage and current specifications. Avoid using it in damp, high-temperature, high-pressure, or dusty environments.
• **Maintenance:** Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the product. Unauthorized disassembly can lead to fire, electric shock, and voids the warranty.

6.2. Initial Power-on and Mode Selection

1. Connect the light strip, controller, and adapter, then plug in the power.
2. The controller will automatically switch to the correct mode based on the connected LED strip type.

6.3. Pairing with a Zigbee Gateway (APP Control)

To enable smart APP and voice control, you need to pair the controller with a compatible Zigbee gateway (e.g., Philips Hue, SmartThings, Tuya, Homey, Amazon Echo studio).

Figure 8: General steps for smart home integration.

1. **Power your light sources:** Connect the light strip, controller, and adapter, then plug in the power.
2. **Set up your bridge:** Plug in your Zigbee bridge/gateway and connect it to your WiFi router using the provided network cable.
3. **Download the Gateway APP:** Download the corresponding gateway app (e.g., Tuya Smart, Philips Hue app) on your smartphone. Start the device searching function within the app. It may take some time. If the device is not found, try powering the controller off/on or performing a reset (see Section 7.1).
4. **Complete Setup and Control:** Once detected, complete the setup in the app. You can then control the light color, color temperature, and brightness.

6.4. Pairing with 2.4G RF Remote Control

The controller can be paired directly with a 2.4G RF remote control (e.g., GL-RC-001, GL-RC-006, GL-RC-007, GL-RC-009, GL-W-003Z) without a Zigbee gateway.

1. Ensure the controller is powered on.
2. Refer to your specific 2.4G RF remote control's instructions for pairing. Typically, this involves a short press of a pairing button on the remote within a few seconds of powering on the controller.

7. Operating Instructions

7.1. Button Functions on the Controller

Figure 10: Controller Key Functions.

• **OPT Button:**
  • **Short Press:** Switches the current device function (switching device function will automatically clear Zigbee and RF connections).
  • **Long Press (5 seconds):** Enables/disables the memory function (memory function is off by default). This determines whether the controller remembers the power status before a power off.
• **RESET Button:**
  • **Short Press:** Switches the frequency.
  • **Long Press (5 seconds):** Resets the controller. After reset, it defaults back to RGBCCT mode.
• **PUSH Button (External):**
  • **Short Press:** Power On/Off.
  • **Long Press:** Adjusts brightness (Long press increases brightness, release and long press again decreases brightness).
• **Indicator Light:** Different color indicators correspond to different functions.

7.2. APP Control

Once paired with a Zigbee gateway and its corresponding app, you can control various aspects of your LED strips:

• **Color Adjustment:** Select from 16 million colors.
• **Color Temperature Regulation:** Adjust from warm white to cool white.
• **Brightness Adjustment:** Dim or brighten lights from 1% to 100%.
