Connect BTB
- To control your lights with the AsteraApp, first connect a Bluetooth Bridge (BTB).
- It forwards the AsteraApp signal to paired lights.
- You may use an AsteraBox as BTB or choose a light with built-in BTB, like LunaBulb, AX9, NYX Bulb, PixelBrick, Titan Tube BTB, and Helios Tube BTB.
- You can also connect a PrepInlay/ PrepCase for LunaBulb as a BTB.
Connect AsteraBox as BTB
- Please power on the AsteraBox.

Connect light as BTB
- Please note: This ONLY works for Astera lights with built-in Bluetooth.
- For all other Astera lights, please use an AsteraBox as BTB.
Please power on the light. Hold down the power button for 3 seconds until the light flashes blue. If you are using a LunaBulb as BTB you must use a White Remote (ARC3) to activate BlueMode. In the AsteraApp press „Manage Bluetooth Bridges“, then “+” and follow the instructions on the screen to connect. The light which is connected as BTB shows a small Bluetooth icon in the display.
Connect PrepInlay

- The use of adjacent frequency bands within this table as a single frequency band is permitted, provided that the specific conditions for each of these adjacent frequency bands are met.
- „duty cycle“ means the ratio of Σ(Ton)/(Tobs) expressed as a percentage, where ‚Ton‘ is the ‚on-time‘ of a single transmitting device and ‚Tobs‘ is the observation period Ton is measured in an observation frequency band (Fobs). Unless otherwise specified in this general allocation, Tobs is a continuous period of one hour and Fobs is the applicable frequency band in this general allocation (table).
- Frequency access and interference mitigation techniques shall be used whose performance level at least meets the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU or the Radio Equipment Act (FuAG). Where relevant techniques are described in harmonized standards, the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union pursuant to Directive 2014/53/EU, or parts thereof, performance shall be ensured which is at least equivalent to those techniques.
