Connection of the Paneralux pool light control system

If you own or plan to purchase a Paneralux pool light, I hope you can understand the control system of the light strip. Helps you use pool light strips efficiently and unlock more lighting modes and lighting effects. This article will guide customers through the process of connecting the pool light strip control system using both text and images.

1. What is Paneralux Pool Light Control System？ 

The control system of the Paneralux pool light includes: Controller, Remote control, App, Zigbee gateway, and waterproof junction box. 

Control system accessory options for single-color pool lights:

1. Single-color Wi-Fi controller, single-color remote control.
2. Single-color Zigbee controller, single-color remote control, Zigbee gateway.
3. Waterproof junction box(directly connecting light strip and power supply).

Control system accessory options for RGB pool lights:

1. RGB Wi-Fi controller, RGB remote control.
2. RGB Zigbee controller, RGB remote control, Zigbee gateway.

2.How to connect the Wi-Fi controller to the App?

Paneralux controllers are pre-configured to the corresponding light modes before shipping. Example: if you've purchased RGB pool light strips, the controller you receive is already set to RGB mode. You can start from step3 to complete the connection between the controller and the app. 

Connection between Wi-Fi controller and App:

1. Download Paneralux App through the QR code on the controller and complete the registration to enter the App homepage. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth function and connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, please make sure to authorize to allow the device to be added.
2. The connection steps between the Wi-Fi controller and the app are as follows: Set the controller to either single-color or RGB mode, enter pairing mode, and then pair with the app. Note: The controller indicator light in white indicates white & blue light mode, and in red indicates RGB mode.

Using RGB controller as an example:

1. Step1. Long-press the button on the controller; after 3 seconds, the indicator light will go off and then light up in purple.
2. Step2. Keep pressing without releasing to enter the light mode selection. The indicator light will cycle through white-yellow-red-green-blue lights. Release the button when the indicator light turns red. After two purple blinks, the indicator light remains red. The controller is now in RGB mode.
3. Step3. Quickly press the controller button twice, and both the indicator light and the light strip will rapidly blink purple. The controller enters pairing mode.
4. Step4. On the app's home page, click "Add device" to enter a new page. Under "discovering devices," click "Add" and then click "+" to select the controller. (At this point, a Wi-Fi connection page will appear. Input your home Wi-Fi information; 5G Wi-Fi is not supported at this time.)
5. Step5. Wait a few seconds for the controller and app to successfully connect. (If the connection fails, you can click to reconnect.)

3.How to realize synchronous control of multiple Pool lights?

Our app can control 2 or more Wi-Fi controllers at the same time, the steps are as follows:

1. Follow the steps above to pair all controllers with the App.
2. Rename each controller for easy operation. Click the paired controllers to enter the single controller interface, click the Edit button on the upper right corner to change the controller name, for example: "controller A", “controller B”, “controller C”…etc
3. Enter any controller interface, find "Create Group" in the upper right corner of the editing page, add all the paired controllers successfully and save it.
4. Enter the group interface, you can synchronize all the paired controllers.

4.How to connect Zigbee gateway and Zigbee controller to App?

 

Connection between Zigbee gateway and App:

1. Power on the Zigbee gateway and ensure that the pairing indicator light is rapidly flashing red, and the blue light is steady. (If the indicator light shows a different status, press "Reset" for 5 seconds until the red light flashes rapidly.)
2. Make sure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Open the Paneralux App, click the upper right corner "Add Device", then add Zigbee gateway, select "Gateway Control," and click "Wireless Gateway (Zigbee)."
3. Enter your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi account and password on the page. (5G Wi-Fi is not supported.) Once the app detects the Zigbee gateway, click "+" to complete the connection.

Connection between Zigbee controller and App:

1. After successfully adding the gateway, return to the home page and click "Gateway" - "Add Sub-device."
2. Set the controller to single-color/RGB mode. Note: The white light on the controller indicates white & blue light mode, and the red light indicates RGB mode. Using RGB controller as an example:

Step1. Long-press the controller button; after 3 seconds, the purple light will go off and then light up.

Step2. Keep pressing the button to enter the light mode selection. The indicator light will cycle through white-yellow-red-green-blue lights. Release the button when the indicator light turns red, and then it will blink purple. The controller is now in RGB mode.

Step3. Quickly press the controller button twice, and both the indicator light and the light strip will rapidly blink purple. The controller enters pairing mode.

Step4. On the app's home page, click "Add device" to enter a new page. Under "discovering devices," click "Add," and then click "+" to select the controller. (At this point, a Wi-Fi connection page will appear. Input your home Wi-Fi information.)

Step5. Wait a few seconds for the controller and app to successfully connect. (If the connection fails, you can click to reconnect.)

5.How to connect the Remote Control to the App?

Paneralux's remote control has been connected to the controller before shipment, and there is no need to make any further connections. If you find that they cannot connect during use, you can follow the steps below to complete the connection.

Using the RGB remote control as an example:

Step1. Set the controller to RGB mode. Long-press the button on the controller for 3 seconds. After this, the purple light on the controller will turn off and then light up again.

Step2. Keep holding the button without releasing it. The controller will enter the light mode selection.

Step3. The indicator light will cycle through white-yellow-red-green-blue lights. Release the button when the indicator light turns red. After two purple blinks, the indicator light will remain red. The controller is now in RGB mode.

Step4. Press the button on the controller once. The indicator light on the controller will blink. At the same time, press and hold the power button on the remote control. When the indicator light on the remote control turns on, it means the connection is successful.

Note: The connection process for both single-color and RGB remote controls is the same. To avoid repetition, users can proceed directly to step three after completing the connection between the controller and the app.
