II. How to Download the App

Download the "Surplife" APP from the Apple Store and Google Play Store. Users can search for "Surplife" on their respective app stores to find and install the application.

III. How to Connect to the Surplife App

Follow these steps to connect your device:

1. Register/Login: Create or log in to your Surplife account. The app can also be used without logging in.
2. Enable Bluetooth: Turn on your device and ensure your phone's Bluetooth is enabled.
3. Add Device: In the "Surplife" app, tap the "Add Device" option or the [+] icon to initiate the pairing process.
4. Rename and Assign Room: After the device is successfully added, you can rename it and assign it to a specific room within the app for better organization and management.

IV. About Settings

Within the Surplife app's settings interface, you can configure various parameters for your LED lighting system:

• IC Model: Select the type of IC chip used in your LED strip (e.g., General, SM16703P, WS2812E, UC1903B). This selection is crucial for correct operation.
• Color Correction: Adjust color calibration settings to fine-tune the displayed colors for accuracy.
• Number of Points: Set the total number of LED points. Please note that the number of points per segment cannot exceed 300, and the total LED chips quantity cannot exceed 2048.
• IC Number Setting: This setting is applied to the "smearing function," which influences how colors blend or transition across segments.

V. Detailed Introduction of APP Functions

A) Multicolor Function

The color of the LED lights can be adjusted for the entire strip or for individual segments. The app provides dedicated sections for color selection and editing, along with brightness adjustments. The segmentation interface allows users to freely select, erase, or "smear" colors on each segment, and also set gradient effects for smooth transitions.

Key features include:

• Integral palette for selecting colors.
• Custom color palette for creating specific shades.
• Color card selection.
• Slider for fine-tuning color and brightness.
• Brightness adjustment up to 100%.

B) Scene Settings

The app includes four built-in scenes: "Life", "Scenery", "Festivals", and "Mood". Users can also click "DIY" or "Collection" to create and save their own favorite lighting effects. Various pre-designed lighting styles are available, such as Christmas Lights, Wreath, Fence, Trees, String lights, "Hello" text, Mood light, and Neon strip light.

C) Playlist Mode

This mode enables multiple dynamic lighting modes. Users can set the duration for each lighting effect and enter a cycle mode. By selecting different scene modes and setting their respective durations, users can create custom playlists by combining sequences of lighting effects. The interface allows for speed adjustment, horizontal flipping of effects, and adding or deleting steps in the sequence.

D) Smear Function

Use the [+] button to create custom DIY lighting colors and dynamic effects, then save them. Before starting a DIY project, it is essential to set the correct number of ICs in the "Settings" section to ensure the number of lights matches the device. Failure to do so will result in incorrect lighting effects. Ensure the IC number in the app settings is the same as on the light device for accurate customization.

E) Music Mode

1. Synchronization Function: Synchronize lighting effects with music rhythm. Click "Add Music" to import music files from your phone or use the built-in music library.

2. MIC Input: The LED lights will change color in rhythm with the sound captured by your phone's microphone. The microphone sensitivity can be adjusted using a slider. Audio input can be received via the built-in app microphone or an external microphone (for specific versions).

F) Light Timer

Smart lights can be programmed to turn on and off automatically at specified times using the timer function. Users can choose their preferred lighting effect and color for the schedule and save it. The interface allows setting specific times for actions like "Lights On" or "Lights Off", with options to repeat schedules on different days of the week.

G) Group Control

This mode enables users to create different groups of controllers. This allows for managing and controlling multiple LED light controllers simultaneously from a single interface.

H) Link

Setting up a group for strip lights allows for linkage lighting effects. Users can hold and drag devices within the group list to change their order and direction. This enables:

• Synchronized Linkage: Grouped light strips display text and patterns synchronously across all devices in the group.
• Sequential Change: Grouped light strips change their display sequentially, following the order set by the user.

Attentions

Please observe the following precautions for optimal and safe use:

• Use the product in a dry environment.
• For input voltage, use the DC voltage within the specified range as instructed in the manual. Do not connect to 220VAC directly.
• The product requires a common anode connection. An incorrect connection may cause a malfunction.
