6. App Setup and Wi-Fi Pairing

6.1 Downloading the App

Download the "Onforu" app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Ensure your smartphone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.

6.2 Wi-Fi Pairing

  1. Power on the security light. The light should begin blinking, indicating it is in pairing mode.
  2. Open the Onforu app and follow the on-screen instructions to add a new device.
  3. Select your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
  4. The app will guide you through the connection process. Once successfully paired, the light will stop blinking and remain steadily on.

Troubleshooting Tip: If the light does not blink initially or fails to pair, try power cycling the light multiple times (turn off for a few seconds, then on) until it enters pairing mode (blinking). It is recommended to pair the light before final mounting if possible.

7. Operation

7.1 Adjusting Color Temperature and Brightness

Using the Onforu app, you can precisely control the light output:

  • Color Temperature: Adjust from 2500K (warm, yellowish light) to 6500K (cool, bluish-white light) using the stepless dimming system.
  • Brightness: Select from 5 levels of brightness to suit your needs.

The light features a memory function, retaining your last settings even after power cycles.

7.2 Motion Sensor Settings

Customize the motion detection behavior through the Onforu app:

  • Sensing Distance: Choose from 3 levels (Low, Medium, High) to adjust the detection range up to 72.7 ft.
  • Delay-Off Time: Set how long the light remains on after motion is detected, from 6 seconds to 60 minutes.
  • Surrounding Brightness Modes: Select from 5 modes to define when the motion sensor should activate based on ambient light levels (e.g., Dusk, Evening, Night, Dark).

7.3 Timing Schedules

The app allows you to create custom schedules for your light:

  • Automatic On/Off: Set specific times for the light to turn on and off daily.
  • Customized Lighting: Program different color temperatures or brightness levels for various periods within your schedule.

7.4 Voice Control

Integrate your security light with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for hands-free control. Once connected, you can use voice commands such as "Alexa, turn on the security light" or "Hey Google, set the security light to warm white."

7.5 Group Control and Linkage

If you have multiple Onforu smart lights, you can group them within the app to control them simultaneously. Additionally, the motion sensor linkage feature allows several lights to trigger and illuminate together when motion is detected by any linked sensor.

7.6 Weak Light Mode

The app offers a "Weak Light Mode" which allows the light to stay on at a low brightness level during specific periods, providing continuous ambient light and saving energy. This can be configured under the luminance detection settings.

9. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Onforu Smart LED Security Light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

  • Light does not turn on:
    • Check the power supply at the circuit breaker.
    • Ensure all wiring connections are secure.
    • Verify the light is not in an "off" schedule or mode via the app.
  • Light does not respond to motion:
    • Adjust the motion sensor sensitivity settings in the app (3 levels).
    • Check the surrounding brightness mode settings; ensure it's set to activate in current light conditions (e.g., "Night" or "Dark").
    • Ensure the sensor is not obstructed.
    • Confirm the ideal mounting height (8.2-9.84FT) for optimal detection.
  • Light stays on constantly or turns off too quickly:
    • Adjust the "Delay-Off Time" setting in the app (6 seconds to 60 minutes).
    • If the light stays on all night, check the luminance detection settings and ensure it's not set to "Day" or a mode that keeps it active during daylight.
  • Cannot connect to Wi-Fi or app:
    • Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal. The light does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi.
    • Confirm your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz network during pairing.
    • Try power cycling the light multiple times (turn off/on) to re-enter pairing mode (blinking light).
    • Ensure your Wi-Fi password is entered correctly in the app.
  • Dawn-to-Dusk function not working as expected:
    • This function relies on the light sensor. Verify the "Luminance Detection" settings in the app are configured correctly for your environment (e.g., "Dusk" or "Night").
    • If issues persist, consider using the "Timing Setting" feature as an alternative to schedule on/off times.
