Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share with family and friends?

Yes, you can share your bulbs with family and friends who will have access to control your bulbs, plugs, cameras, and other Geeni devices. In the Geeni app, press the Profile button and click on the "Device Sharing" button, and you will be able to give or revoke sharing permissions. In order to share, the other user should already have downloaded the Geeni app and registered a new account.

Can I group multiple Geeni devices together?

Yes, you can group multiple devices of the same type together, by room, location, or however else you want. The same devices can be in multiple groups. (For example, create a group for "Bedroom" and another group for "Entire House", and your Bedroom lights can be included in both groups). From your main device list, click on one of the devices you want to group. Press the … button on the top right for advanced settings, and click Create Group. You'll then be able to choose which devices you'd like to group together and will be able to rename them.

How Many Devices Can I Control?

Geeni app can control an unlimited amount of devices in an unlimited amount of locations. Your router may have a limit of how many devices can be connected to one router.

My Geeni device has a funny name. How do I rename it?

From your main device list, click on one of the devices you want to rename, press the … button on the top right for advanced settings, and click Modify Device Name (or Modify Group Name, if applicable). You'll then be able to choose a more familiar name.

The bulb appears offline or unreachable, what should I do?

Check the light switch and make sure that it's switched ON. The light bulb requires an "always-on" power supply to operate properly. Make sure your Wi-Fi router is online and in range. Make sure you have the latest Geeni functionality by clicking "Check for firmware update" in your device settings.

What's the Wireless Range?

The range of your home Wi-Fi is heavily dependent on your home router and the conditions of the room. Check with your router specifications for exact range data.

If my Wi-Fi/Internet goes down, will Geeni still work?

Geeni products need to be connected to Wi-Fi in order to use them remotely.

Voice Control Guide

Thank you for purchasing your GEENI smart home product. Make sure your devices are already set up using the Geeni app, then follow these steps.

Google Assistant

To control your GEENI smart bulbs, plugs or surge protectors, just say "OK Google," or "Hey Google," and ask. Make sure your devices are already set up using the Geeni app.

Things you can say*:

• "Hey Google, turn on all the lights in my bedroom."
• "Hey Google, turn off fan."
• "Hey Google, set the bedroom light to orange."
• "Hey Google, turn off the coffee machine."
• "Hey Google, set the living room to 50%."
• "Hey Google, dim porch light."

*Some commands require compatible devices.

1. Open the Google Home app and go to Home Control in the menu.
2. Tap the ➕ button.
3. Choose "Geeni" from the list of Home Control partners.
4. Authorize your account with Google Assistant using the username and password from your Geeni app.

Now your Google Home app and GEENI devices are linked! You're now able to say "Hey Google" and control your GEENI devices. At any time, go into the "Home Control" section of the Google Home app to set nicknames and rooms for your devices. You can rename your devices in the Geeni app, and Google Assistant will refer to them by the same name. So if you rename a smart bulb to "Living Room" or a nickname like "Blossom," then Google Assistant will use that same name later on. You can always give it a nickname using the Google Home app as well. You can also assign bulbs to a specific room, like "Bedroom" or "Kitchen." Google Assistant will be able to control devices by room.

Amazon Alexa

To control your GEENI smart bulbs, plugs or surge protectors, just ask Alexa. Make sure your devices are already set up using the Geeni app.

Things you can say*:

• "Alexa, discover my devices."
• "Alexa, turn on the bedroom light."
• "Alexa, set the bedroom light to orange."
• "Alexa, turn off the coffee machine."
• "Alexa, set the living room to 50%."
• "Alexa, dim porch light."

*Some commands require compatible devices.

1. Open the Alexa app and go to Skills in the menu.
2. Search for Geeni then tap Enable.
3. Authorize your account with Smart Home Skills using the username and password from your Geeni app.
4. Choose "Discover Devices." After a few seconds your GEENI devices will be displayed under Smart Home in the Alexa app.

You can rename your devices in the Geeni app, and Alexa will refer to them by the same name. So if you rename a smart bulb to "Living Room" or a nickname like "Blossom," then Alexa will use that same name later on. Alternatively, you can create an Alexa group, like "Bedroom" or "Downstairs," and add the device to the group. Alexa will recognize the group name in the Alexa app, or the device name in the Geeni app. More information is available at: http://tinyurl.com/alexa-smart-home-groups
