How to Use the Sylvania Smart Home App
Introduction
Before You Begin:
Supported Devices
Sylvania offers a number of different products, each with a slightly different way they are used.
The Sylvania Smart Home App can be used to control the Bluetooth line of Smart+ bulbs.
Zigbee bulbs in the Sylvania Smart+ line depend on your Zigbee hub which is a separate product, and do not use the Sylvania Smart Home App.
We offer guides for the following hubs to add your Zigbee bulbs to directly.
Supported Apps
This guide covers using the Sylvania Smart Home app. It is entirely possible to use your bulbs without Sylvania's app. If you are using one of the other major systems to control your bulbs, we have guides available to help with those apps, instead.
