Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power; loose wiring; faulty light. | Check circuit breaker. Ensure all wiring connections are secure. Contact customer support if light remains unresponsive. |
| Motion sensor not detecting. | Sensor obstructed; incorrect sensitivity setting; outside detection range. | Clear any obstructions from the sensor lens. Adjust sensor sensitivity in the app. Ensure motion occurs within the 70FT detection range. |
| Light stays on constantly. | Continuous motion; incorrect mode setting; faulty sensor. | Check for continuous motion in the detection area. Verify the light is in Sensor Mode and not Manual Mode in the app. |
| Cannot connect to Wi-Fi/App. | Incorrect Wi-Fi band (not 2.4Ghz); weak signal; incorrect pairing steps. | Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi signal. Move closer to the router. Follow the app's pairing instructions carefully. |
| Brightness/Color temperature not adjusting. | App glitch; connectivity issue. | Restart the app and the light (power cycle). Check Wi-Fi connection. Ensure the app is updated. |
