SmartController For Light for Android
Worked fine for a while, now it just reads 100% for everything, regardless of actual light settings. Absolutely no response from anybody for help.
It was working when I first got it. Now went back in to adjust and will not let me connect. Please fix ASAP. I need to get my lights to work properly. Once fix I will give it 5 stars again.
Worked previously, doesn't now work on my phone or tablet (both Android 6). Had to borrow a fiends phone to set these up again (Android 5). Please get Android 6 compatibility out ASAP.
This app works pretty good now but there is one thing wrong. When you want to run auto cloud or lighting i can only run it on just the one light the other one does not even have that option! Do you know why? And thanks for changing the app around it works better too. Thanks
The app doesn't as yet work on android N . Worked on my previous phone but only been able to get it to work once on this phone. App could be improved asp for those with multiple lights... I have 6 and it's time consuming to switch between them and copy settings etc. The lights are not cheap so a reliable easy to use app would be welcomed.
Not gonna lie I didn't expect a whole lot from such cheap lights but this app sucks it's way to hard to use. The preset settings totally suck and are unusable. Wasted my money and that's what makes me mad.
If I was having trouble connecting I'd give it a few stars but can't even connect AT ALL!! So frustrating!!!!
It won't connect incredibly buggy you guys need to get on this get it fixed.
wish we could control a group of lights at once
The App fails all the time. It will not connect with the lights.
It should not be this difficult to use!
I purchased two of these lights. I hooked the two lights up over my 250 aquarium. Turn them on and they are bright. Tried to connnect the lights to the smart controller for light' as per instructions via my android galaxy s5. That was 5 day's ago, the app keeps showing unable to find lights. Promised one thing, but received another
Usually takes 3 attempts to connect to the light after establishing wifi. Needs more timer points for a smoother sunrise and sunset transition. Cloud affect is screwy. It goes from full bright to full dimm even if you are only running 35%. Instead of being calming it upsets my tank by going too bright.
When my phone upgraded the lights stopped working.I contacted the phone co first to make sure that it wasn't my phone Samsung's galaxy s6 it wasn't.The company sent two control board that I replaced still same problem can't find the lights.I really liked these lights when they were working.Now I'm stuck.maybe they should upgrade the apps
The app for the phone is good. It does randomly shut down while setting up the lights but it does keep the last change you made. I would have REALLY loved it if the lights would gradually change between settings. Another person mentioned it below...the lights have 6 time markers to set what percentage of light you want at each marker. Well i thought that the lights would gradually increase in power through marker 1 and 2 and so on...but it doesn't. Other than that lights are pretty awesome.
Doesnt connect at all
1.2 version works.... kinda... random disconnects And drops..Once the update from 1.2.2 to 1.5.2 is done no lights can be found. Update! 1.5.4 cannot connect to the light and still can't find it... so... there's still no use for the wifi portion. The lights themselves don't ramp up. They hit the timer and then increase. That is to say. If you set your light for 50% at noon and 100% at one. At noon thirty the light is at 50% and stays there till one. Ramping implies that At noon thirty the light would be 75%
Update cannot connect to light. Blue and white channels reversed in app so white is blue, blue is white. Or actuall light channels wired wrong in product. All in all its ok and doing the job. Need to fix update!
App used to have percentages alongside the sliders which made it much simpler to control and program the light unit - why all of a sudden has this disappeared? Bring this back and I'd happily give it a 5*.
The transition between settings I think should be set by the time between each point for instance if on setting 1 at 9am is set to 0% whites and 3% blue then on setting 2 at 11.30am you have whites at 60% and blues at 80% it should ramp up slowly between 9am and 11.30am from setting 1 to setting 2 instead of at 11.30 changing over a short period
This app is not bad at all. Especially for someone like me who knows zip, zilch, Nada about light percentages. Would it be possible when creating the next update to give us a simpler way to shorten the daylight. Right now my sunrise is automatically at 8:00A and my sunset doesn't end till 8:00P. Personally I would like the sunrise start at 830A and end around 6 or 7P, without having to manually change the settings. I surely would screw things up. I will upgrade to 5 star when I feel the app is more user friendly for dummies! Thanks Dylan
Not quite perfect but non the less a very useful tool not to full of useless gimmicks

No real issues with these lights. App is a bit clunky and the lights lack some features of other high end lights but only a fraction of the cost ! My corals grow well under these lights
