AP Mode Pairing

There are a few ways to get products to pair to the Grid Connect app. AP mode is the most reliable pairing. It is denoted by a slow (instead of fast) flash or pulse of the pairing indicator. Please note that camera products do not have an AP mode.

Lighting products including strip lights, ceiling lights, downlights and globes:

1. Turn off bluetooth on your phone (just for during pairing). Even if prompted by the app, do not turn it on again whilst following the below steps. 
2. The light should be flashing rapidly. If it isn’t, turn the light off/on 3 times until it flashes rapidly.
3. While the light is flashing rapidly, turn the light off/on 3 times. The light should now be flashing slowly (once every 2-3 seconds). If not, turn the light off for 10 seconds then repeat from step 1.
4. From the app tap the + icon at the bottom right of the home screen then select ‘lighting’
5. Confirm your Wi-Fi network name and password then select ‘next’
6. Tap ‘EZ mode’ at the top right of the screen then select ‘AP mode’
7. Make sure your light is still flashing slowly – if not, repeat step 1
8. Follow the onscreen prompts until you get to the ‘Connect your mobile to your smart device’s hotspot’ page
9. Tap ‘go connect’. You now need to connect to your Grid Connect product hotspot. The app will take you to your phone settings.
10. Tap on Wi-Fi then select your product hotspot/network. This will appear in your networks list as either ARLEC-XXXX, GRID-XXXX or SMARTLIFE-XXXX where XXXX is alpha-numeric
11. Once connected to the hotspot return to the Grid Connect App. For iOS tap the ‘Grid Connect’ return arrow at the top left-hand side of the screen, for android use the back button to return to the Grid Connect app
12. The app will now start to connect to the device.
