1. If you are using iOS 14 or higher, please make sure you have enabled the Local Network permission and Cellular Dataof the app:

– Open your iPhone settings and find the Smart Life App on the list
– Click to enter the app settings page, you can see all the permission switches of the app on this page.
– Enable the two permission switches of “Local Network” and “Cellular Data”, otherwise the App will not have permission to access your Wi-Fi network and cellular network
– If you can’t find the two permission switches of “Local Network” and “Cellular Data”, you need to uninstall and reinstall our App and try again (this is only applicable for iOS 14 and higher).

1. Please make sure that the signal of the network environment where the device is located is strong and stable.
2. If you have only a single SSID that combines both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands (instead of 2 separate ones like: “WiFiname”and   “WiFiname-5G”), please go to your router settings and temporarily disable the 5GHz. Once your smart device is connected to the Smart Life app, you can re-enable your 5GHz network and control your devices. 

NOTE: If your router or mesh system is unable to select the 2.4GHz network (or disable 5GHz), please try to move farther away from your router until your phone moves to the 2.4GHz band. (The waves of the 2.4GHz band covers a longer range than 5GHz).

How can I confirm if my iPhone or Android device is connected to 2.4GHz?

iPhone:

1. In the App Store, download the app “AirPort Utility“.
2. Once downloaded, open your phone Settings.
3. Scroll down and select AirPort Utility from the list. Turn on “Wi-Fi Scanner”
4. Open the AirPort Utility app. Click on Wi-Fi Scan.
5. Click on Scan. All the detected networks will appear in the menu.
6. Local your network and check the channel information: Channel 1 – 13 means you are on 2.4GHz  – Channel 14+ means you are on 5GHz
7. If you are still on Channel 14 or higher, please move farther away from your router until it drops to a Channel between 1 and 13

Android:

1. Enter the Phone’s Settings page. Tap Network and Internet.
2. Go into your connected Wi-Fi’s settings by taping the settings icon.
3. Under “Frequency” you can see what channel your phone is currently detecting.
4. If your phone does not display the “Frequency”, please download any WiFi Analyzer app from the Google Play Store. This will allow you to visualize your router’s 2.4GHz and 5GHz band waves. Move farther away from your router until the waves from Channel 1-13 (2.4GHz) are stronger than the ones from Channel 14+ (5GHz)

1. If the network is stable but the device network connection still fails, check whether the router is overloaded. You can temporarily disconnect other device’s Wi-Fi (like a computer or another phone) and try connecting the DazzBling Smart Lights again.
2. Check whether the router password you entered is correct. Check for spaces before and after the Wi-Fi name/password  (Case sensitivity issues).
3. Ensure that your Wi-Fi is enabled and not hidden.
4. If you haveseparate SSIDs, ensure that the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks have different names (Example: wifiname-2G and wifiname-5G)
5. Ensure that the encryption method and authentication type are set to WPA2-PSK and AES, respectively, for the router’s wireless settings, or both are set to Auto. Ensure that the wireless mode is not set to 11n only.
6. If wireless MAC address filteringis enabled for the router, remove your device from the router’s MAC address filtering list to ensure that it is allowed to connect to the network. You can also disable MAC address filtering.
7. Ensure that the DHCP service is enabledfor the router. If not, the IP address will be occupied.
8. Ensure that you are connected to the correct Wi-Fi hotspot.
9. If using any VPN services, please temporarily disable it before connecting your smart device.
10. Make sure the phone is fully connected to the device’s hotspot before returning to the Smart Life app. Return to the app by switching between app windows instead of pressing the ‘Back’ button.
11. Put your phone in Airplane Mode (disable mobile data)and try to connect your smart device.
12. Forget your WiFi network on your phone and connect to it again 
13. Uninstall/reinstall the Smart Life app and try connecting it again
14. If none of the methods above worked,restart your router
15. If you still cannot connect and operate the device, it may be a hardware problem. Please contact our Support team.

Usually this indicates a LED Bulb module has malfunctioned and needs to be replaced. Please reach out to support@dazzblingproducts.com to get a LED Bulb module replacement pack sent to you. Replacing the bulb modules is easy. Just unscrew the bulb, remove the LED module inside the housing with a needlenose pliers and replace. 

This is usually caused by a poor Wi-Fi signal and when a schedule is set to run it fails to run on the lights due to signal problems. 

How to set up Group Control in the Smart Life App

Step 1: Set up your lights individually and
make sure they are on and connected.
Here we have 2 set of lights. One named
“backyard lights” and another called
“Front Lights”

Step 2: Select one of the lights to go into
the device details. Here we have selected
the “backyard lights”

Step 3: Select the 3 dots at the top right.

Step 4: Now Select “Create Group” at the
bottom

Step 5: Add all the other devices into this
group by selecting the green plus devices
that you want added to the group. The
backyard lights have already been added
by default.
Both devices should have a minus icon in
front of them after adding to the group.

Step 5: Select “Save” at the top and name
the Group. In this case “House Lights” was
selected.

Now you can set the settings for all of the
devices in this group (color, scene, schedules, etc)
Your Device List will now include all
devices and the new group you created.
