2. Power Connection

Connect the Eve Light Strip to the provided power supply, then plug the power supply into a standard electrical outlet.

3. Apple HomeKit Setup

To integrate your Eve Light Strip with Apple HomeKit, ensure your iPhone or iPad is running the latest version of iOS/iPadOS. Open the Home app, tap the '+' icon, and select 'Add Accessory'. Scan the HomeKit setup code located on the light strip or its packaging. Follow the on-screen prompts to assign the light strip to a room and customize its name.

Wi-Fi Requirements:

• Ensure your router's 2.4 GHz band is enabled.
• Your iPhone should be connected to the 2.4 GHz band during the initial setup. You may reconnect to the 5 GHz band afterward.
• The DHCP function must be active on your router.
• MAC address authentication must be deactivated.
• The Bonjour protocol (Multicast) must be enabled on your Wi-Fi router and any additional access points. Disable any network tools like "Storm Control" that restrict multicast.

Operating Instructions

1. Controlling with the Eve App or Siri

Once set up, you can control your Eve Light Strip using the Eve app or Apple's Home app. You can manually switch the light strip on/off, adjust its brightness, or select from millions of colors and various shades of white. Use Siri commands like "Hey Siri, turn on the [Light Strip Name]" or "Hey Siri, set [Light Strip Name] to blue."

The Eve Light Strip supports HomeKit Adaptive Lighting, which automatically adjusts the color temperature throughout the day to mimic natural light patterns. This feature promotes well-being and can be enabled within the Home app.

3. Scene and Automation Integration

Integrate your light strip into HomeKit scenes and automations with other HomeKit-enabled devices. For example, create a "Movie Night" scene that dims the lights and changes their color, or set an automation to turn on the lights when you arrive home.
