4. Home Hub Setup for Remote Access

For control of your smart bulb when away from home, or for advanced automations and scheduling, an Apple Home Hub is required.

• Set up an Apple TV (4th generation or later), HomePod, or an iPad (running iOS 10 or later) as your Home Hub.
• Ensure your Home Hub device is connected to your home Wi-Fi network and signed in with the same Apple ID as your other HomeKit devices.
• Keep the Home Hub device powered on and connected to power to maintain remote access.

Operating Instructions

1. Control with Apple Home App

Once paired, you can control your smart bulb directly from the Apple Home app:

• Turn On/Off: Tap the bulb icon in the Home app.
• Dimming: Press and hold the bulb icon to access controls for brightness adjustment.
• Schedules & Automations: Use the Home app to create custom schedules for turning lights on/off or to set up automations based on time, location, or other HomeKit accessories.
• Grouping: Group multiple bulbs together to control them simultaneously.

2. Siri Voice Control

Use Siri on your iPhone, iPad, HomePod, or Apple Watch to control your smart bulb with voice commands:

• "Hey Siri, turn on the [Room Name] light."
• "Hey Siri, dim the [Light Name] to 50%."
• "Hey Siri, turn off all the lights."

Note: Direct control via Bluetooth has a limited range (approximately 75 feet) and may experience slight delays compared to Wi-Fi based smart devices. For consistent remote control and faster response times, ensure a Home Hub is properly configured.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Ensure the bulb is cool and the power is off before cleaning. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: If storing the bulb, keep it in its original packaging in a cool, dry place.
• No user-serviceable parts are inside. Do not attempt to disassemble the bulb.

Troubleshooting

Bulb Not Responding or Connecting

• Check Power: Ensure the light fixture switch is on and the bulb is receiving power.
• Bluetooth Range: If controlling directly, ensure your Apple device is within Bluetooth range of the bulb.
• Power Cycle: Turn the light switch off for 10 seconds, then turn it back on. This can often resolve minor connectivity issues.
• Firmware Update: Verify that the bulb's firmware is up to date using the Feit OTA app (refer to Setup Instructions). Outdated firmware can cause connectivity problems.
• Reset Bulb: To factory reset the bulb, turn it off for 1 second, then on for 1 second, repeating this cycle 5 times. The bulb will flash to indicate a successful reset. Then, attempt to re-pair with the Apple Home app.
• Home Hub Check: If using remote access, ensure your Apple Home Hub (Apple TV, iPad, or HomePod) is online, powered, and connected to the same network.

Delay in Response

• This bulb uses Bluetooth for direct control, which can sometimes introduce a slight delay compared to Wi-Fi devices. Ensure your controlling device is close to the bulb.
• A properly configured Apple Home Hub can improve response times, especially for automations and remote control.

Bulb Turns Soft White After Power Outage

• The bulb is designed to return to a default soft white state after a power interruption. This behavior cannot be changed.
