SHENZHEN DAYBETTER OPTO-ELECTRONICS CO.,LTD Highly recommend users choose this method to configure network. It also supports powering off and up 3 times to enter into the network configuration state. That is, in the power-on state, after power off- power on-power off-power on-power off-power on , the product starts to enter into network configuration state, which should not exceed 10 seconds per power-up state, this requirement is actually very lenient. This method can be written in the manual as the 2nd method, and users can use this method when the remote control is not available. It is recommended that users plug and unplug the connecting wires of the controller and power adapter, and do not plug and unplug the plug of the power adapter to avoid safety problems. Network configuration status: Red light flashes with 100% brightness, and frequency is 1 time/sec. The remote control button can still take effect in the network configuration status. The network configuration continues in the background, and the duration of the network configuration is 3 minutes. Network configuration success: the light changes from red flashing to green long light. However, if there is a remote control operation during the process, then the remote control operation is executed. Network configuration timeout: If the network configuration is not succeeded within 3 minutes with no remote control button operation, the network configuration will time out. The red light will long light with 100% brightness. As long as the device is not successfully configured, it will be in the configuration state by default for the first 3 minutes of each power-up, so that users can try to configuring directly after powering up. Due to the power-off memory function, the light strip will continue the state of the last light when it is powered on, instead of the red light flashing, unless the user does not change the state of the light with the remote control. 5.2 Power off memory Support power-off memory. That is, after power off and power on again, the light strip will continue the last state. The controller will remember it only after 3 seconds of an operation, so if the user presses the remote control and then immediately power off (less than 3 seconds), the light strip will light up according to the previous state, not the last operation. 6 SHENZHEN DAYBETTER OPTO-ELECTRONICS CO.,LTD 5.3 Support Alexa APP operation Alexa APP for lighting devices currently has only three functions: on/off, brightness and color.

As long as the light is on, the minimum brightness value is 10% (corresponding to 1% of the brightness bar) and the maximum brightness is 100% (corresponding to 100% of the brightness bar). That is, the "actual brightness range" is 10%-100%, which is evenly mapped to the "user brightness range". That is, 1%-100%. Each time you press the brightness up or down button, the brightness will be increased or decreased by 10% (user brightness). Support 4 fixed brightness values set by remote control: 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%. Support white light limiting, which means the maximum brightness of white light is 75%, not 100%. Color light ( light that consists of two colors of RGB) does not limit the current. 5.5Support remote control timing Support timing function on IR remote control. Each time you press the timer key, the white light flashes with 100% brightness 2 times, and the 7 SHENZHEN DAYBETTER OPTO-ELECTRONICS CO.,LTD frequency is 2 times/sec, which indicates successful setting.

This product requires the Echo speaker that is already connected to WIFI and can work properly as a The latest confirmation is that the first generation of Echo does not support direct connection. 9 V1.2. kit. prerequisite. SHENZHEN DAYBETTER OPTO-ELECTRONICS CO.,LTD Direct connection is available only from the 2nd generation. First confirm that the Echo speaker is connected to the network, working properly. Perform the following steps to connect Alexa. Step 1: Power up the controller and plug in the light strip.
*If the light is not on, press the "ON" button, press the "brightness +", if still not, check whether the 4-pin connector sequence of the light is correct and whether the power supply has power. Make sure the light is on. There is no requirement for the state of the light. Step 2: Aim the remote control at the infrared head. Pressing the key to select the color, the light will follow the change. This step is to confirm that the infrared remote control is working properly. The user's manual does not need to write this step. Step 3: Aiming the remote control at the infrared head and long pressing the ON button for 5 seconds, the light band begins to flash red, indicating that the state of the network configuration. Step 4: Say "Alexa, find device" or "Alexa, discover device" to the Echo speaker. The speaker starts to search for devices. At this point the user can press the remote control to change the lights, but it is not recommended that the user change, because the network success indicator (green) will not be seen later. Step 5: The light changes from a red flashing light to a long green light, indicating that the network configuration is successful. It takes generally within 5 seconds (this time period do not write the user manual) from the speaker begins to search for devices to the first light becomes green. If there are more than one controller at the same time in the network configuration status, it will turn green one after another. If the number of devices is large (more than 8), there may be the first time no device found. You can let Echo search again, configuration will certainly be successful later. Step 6: The network configuration is successful. At this point the lights on the Echo speaker in the search state will continue for some time, and then will prompt vocally to find a new device. Users can start to control the lights with the remote control. Voice control is available until the Echo speaker prompts to find a new device. Step 7: If there is no successful network configuration, the controller will exit the network configuration state after 3 minutes. You can press and hold the ON button of the remote control again to let the controller enter the configuration state. If the Echo network connection works, there will be no unsuccessful pairing within 3 minutes, unless the device has problems. At this point, the user is prompted to plug and re-power,
(you can enter the pairing state without the remote, because as long as the device has not been paired with a network, it is in the pairing state by default for 3 minutes before each power up), and then let Echo search for the device. Disconnecting the pairing needs to be done on the Alexa APP. Just select the device in Alexa APP and delete it. The device automatically enters the pairing state after deletion. 7 Alexa APP operation instruction The Alexa APP needs to be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play, and the name of the app is "Amazon Alexa". 10 SHENZHEN DAYBETTER OPTO-ELECTRONICS CO.,LTD Once the device is connected to Echo, the device will appear on the Alexa APP. The path is shown in Figure 7-1 below, "devices->lights". Find the connected device in the device list and click into it. As shown in Figure 7-2. Alexa APP can control the "on/off, brightness, color" of the device, as shown in Figure 7-3 and 7-4. If you want to remove the device, enter the settings interface from "Settings" in the upper right corner of Figure 7-3, as shown in Figure 7-5, click the "Trash" icon in the upper right corner, and then click to confirm.

The function of each key is shown in the figure. 14 SHENZHEN DAYBETTER OPTO-ELECTRONICS CO.,LTD 10 Cautions When first used, remind the user to upgrade the software of the Echo speaker to the latest. In the manual, let the user ask echo whether the latest firmware "Alexa, is your software up-to-date?", or unexpected problems may take place. It is important to keep the firmware up-to-date to ensure the user experience, because the Alexa direct connect solution is constantly being updated,. Remind users that too many devices on the Alexa APP will affect Echo connection stability. When the 15 SHENZHEN DAYBETTER OPTO-ELECTRONICS CO.,LTD device is re-paired with Echo, the original device is not automatically deleted on Alexa APP. It needs to be manually deleted on APP. Remind users that if they want to change their Alexa account, they need to unbind the device on the old Alexa APP account first, and then log in to the new Alexa account. Otherwise the connection between the speaker and the new device will be invalid, and the device needs to be rewired with the network. The method of unbundling can be found in the pdf. Remind users that as the Echo software continues to be updated, the software of the device is also continuously upgraded. If you encounter problems, please contact customer service. The 1st generation Echo does not support direct connection. It is available from the 2nd generation. The success rate of group control will be low when the number of devices connected to Echo is too many. For example, a voice command is about to set 6 lights to red, then the probability of success at once is very low. This is the limitation of Echo's control mechanism. This prompts the user to try 1 or 2 more times. If it is an on/off light operation (not a color or brightness adjustment), the success rate of successfully operating multiple devices with a single voice is high. If the user is unsuccessful in pairing, try to pair the device next to the Echo first, because relatively far distance will affect the success rate of wiring. After the network is completed, you can move the device and put it within the effective distance of Bluetooth. Some devices may have been connected to Echo before. that is, there is a network record, then you must enter the network configuration state to connect to the new Echo speaker. So it is necessary to let the user press the remote control to enter the network configuration state, and new device cannot be considered in the network configuration state once the power is on. This can be confirmed by the flashing light status. The wall penetration effect can not guarantee, because the thickness and material of the wall of each user's home is difficult to determine, it is not recommended to promise the user through the wall effect. We have a test through a 30 cm thick brick wall with no problem. 16 SHENZHEN DAYBETTER OPTO-ELECTRONICS CO.,LTD FCC Warning This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
