3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to set up your GLEDOPTO ZigBee 3.0 RGBCCT LED Controller:

1. Connect LED Strip: Connect your RGB+CCT LED light strip to the controller's output terminals. Ensure correct polarity (V+, R, G, B, W, C). The controller uses a "press type" design for wiring, which is more convenient than screw terminals.


Figure 2: Press-type wiring design. This image illustrates how to connect the LED strip wires to the controller's terminals using a press mechanism, simplifying the wiring process.

2. Power Connection: Connect a DC power supply (12V-54V, appropriate for your LED strip) to the controller's 5.5x2.1mm DC input jack.

Figure 3: Voltage compatibility. This diagram shows the wide input voltage range (DC 12V-54V) supported by the controller, along with the maximum current output for each voltage, emphasizing the need to match the power supply to the LED strip's voltage.
3. ZigBee Gateway Setup (if applicable): Plug in your ZigBee gateway/hub and connect it to your Wi-Fi router. Ensure it is powered on and ready for device pairing.
4. Download Gateway App: Download the corresponding gateway application (e.g., Tuya Smart, Philips Hue) to your smartphone.
5. Pairing the Controller:
   • Open the gateway application and initiate the device search function.
   • Power on the GLEDOPTO controller. If the device is not found, try power cycling the controller (turn off and on) or perform a reset.
   • Once detected, add the controller to a room or group within the app.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Smartphone App Control

Once paired with your ZigBee gateway, you can control the LED strip using the gateway's dedicated smartphone application:

• Color Selection: Choose from 16 million colors using the color wheel or predefined color palettes.
• Brightness Adjustment: Adjust the light intensity from 1% to 100%.
• Color Temperature: Modify the white light from warm (2700K) to cool (6500K).
• Scene Modes: Select from various pre-programmed scene modes or create custom ones.

4.2. Voice Control

Integrate your controller with voice assistants for convenient control:

• Amazon Alexa: Enable the relevant skill in the Alexa app and discover devices. You can then use commands like "Alexa, turn on the living room light," "Alexa, set to warm white," or "Alexa, increase brightness to 70%."
• Google Home: Link your gateway account in the Google Home app. Use commands such as "Hey Google, turn off the kitchen lights" or "Hey Google, change the bedroom light to blue."

4.4. Reset Function

The controller features a reset button for pairing or troubleshooting:

• Short Press: Press once briefly to turn the light strip on or off.
• Long Press: Press and hold for more than 2 seconds. The LED strip will blink 3 times, indicating a successful reset. This action will unpair the controller from its current ZigBee network.
