How do I add a light bulb to my smart remote or dimmer?
Before you can use your light bulb, it must be connected to the system. Make sure the light bulb is in the lamp and the main switch is on. Then you can hold the remote or dimmer close to the light bulb to add it to your system. Press and hold the pairing button for at least 10 seconds.
A red light will illuminate on the dimmer. Your light bulb will dim and eventually blink once to indicate successful pairing.
You can connect up to 10 light bulbs to 1 control unit.
Make sure to connect the light bulbs one by one. If the light bulbs are too close to each other, disconnect the ones that are already connected from the main switch.
