Setup Guide
1. Physical Connection
Follow these steps to connect your LED strip lights to the controller and power supply:
- Connect the LED Strip: Ensure the 4-pin connector from your LED strip aligns with the 4-pin output on the WiFi controller. Pay attention to the arrow indicators on both the connector and the controller to ensure correct polarity. Incorrect connection may damage the LED strip.
- Connect the Power Supply: Connect a compatible 12-24V DC power adapter (not included) to the DC input jack of the WiFi controller. Ensure the power adapter is suitable for the wattage of your LED strip.
- Power On: Once all connections are secure, plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.

Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Aubric Smart LED WiFi Controller:
- Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid placing the controller in areas with high humidity or direct exposure to water.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
- Controller not connecting to Wi-Fi:
- Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The controller does not support 5GHz networks. Try rebooting your router and phone. Ensure your phone's VPN is off during initial setup. A strong Wi-Fi signal is recommended.
- LED strip not lighting up:
- Check all physical connections, especially the 4-pin connector's polarity (align arrows). Verify the power adapter is working and provides the correct voltage (12-24V DC).
- RF Remote not responding:
- Ensure the remote has a working battery. The RF remote does not require line of sight, but extreme distances or heavy obstructions may affect performance. If controlling multiple units, ensure remotes are correctly paired to individual controllers if desired (refer to specific pairing instructions if available, not detailed in current data).
- App control issues:
- Verify your phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the controller (in Wi-Fi Network Mode). Ensure the Magic Home Pro app is updated to the latest version.
