How to Connect a Zigbee Gateway and a Zigbee Controller to PaneraLux App?
First connect the Zigbee gateway to the APP, then connect the Zigbee controller to the Zigbee gateway. The specific operation is as follows:
a). Enable Bluetooth on your phone and connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Download the PaneraLux App via the QR code on the controller and complete the registration to access the app's home page.
b). 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.)
c). 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)."
d). 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:
e). After successfully adding the gateway, return to the home page and click "Gateway" - "Add Sub-device."
f). 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:
(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 step 3 to complete the connection between the controller and the App.)
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.)
