How to Use Sengled Smart WiFi Bulbs
Introduction
Before You Begin:
This guide assumes you have the Sengled Home app installed on your smartphone or tablet, and already have your bulbs, light strip, switches, and plugs setup.
Supported Bulbs and Devices
Sengled offers a wide variety of different bulbs, light strips, and other devices. Because of their design, they can also function on other smart home platforms.
This guide will focus on using Sengled Element lighting devices with the Sengled Home app, whether they're used on their own or connected to the Sengled Element hub.
The Sengled Home App app on your phone allows you to control all your Sengled Element devices connected to the Sengled Element Hub, as well as the Sengled WiFi bulb.
Other Ways To Control Sengled Element Bulbs
Sengled has chosen a very standard Zigbee communication method for many of their products. Because of this, their devices will work with other, 3rd party smart hubs.
If you're using another smart hub not provided by Sengled, we offer the following guides for using them.
1 Basic Lighting Control
Basic lighting control is fast and easy with the Sengled Home app. Most are available right from the home screen; the first you are shown when you open it.
- Open the Sengled Home app and select Home at the bottom.
2 Control Individual Lights
If you want to control a single light in a room full of smart devices, you can go into the individual room to access each device directly.
- Open the Sengled Home app and select Home at the bottom.
- Select the small arrow > next to room of lights you'd like to control individually.
- Select Single at the top, then you can adjust the brightness of each individual lamp, as well as turn each on or off individually.
If you have a multicolor bulb or lightstrip, additional options for color of your lights will be shown here.
3 Check Energy Performance
Your hub keeps track of estimated energy savings and performance of your smart devices. If you'd like to check this, you can do so via the menu.
- Open the Sengled Home app and select Settings at the bottom.
- Select Performance.
- Here you can review how much of a difference you've made compared to using regular 60-watt bulbs.
4 Set Up Light Schedules
You can setup powerful schedules to automate your lighting needs, such as when you get home from work. If you want to add Schedules to your lighting, it's fast and easy from the Sengled Home app.
- Open the Sengled Home app and select Routine at the bottom.
- Select Light Schedules.
- Here, you can set up schedules for your lights to automatically turn on and off.
These schedules are stored on your Sengled Hub for Element devices, and on the bulb itself for Sengled WiFi bulbs.
5 Set Wake Up Schedules
A special type of schedule you can setup is for waking up. Your lights will slowly brighten over time, simulating the rising sun, which can help you wake up refreshed and ready for your day.
- Open the Sengled Home app and select Routines at the bottom.
- Select Wake Up.
- Here, you can set up a special schedule to wake you up by slowly increasing the brightness in the room, much like a sunrise.
These schedules are stored on your Sengled Hub for Element devices, and on the bulb itself for Sengled WiFi bulbs.
