The strip WiFi connector has to be enabled on the system if you want to use the app to control it. This is fairly simple. All you do is plug the strip into the power (careful to line up the arrows on the plugs) and then turn it on. You can do this when it still on the reel if you like. The strip will flash red, green and blue continuously.

Using the QR codes on the business card in the box you can access clear picture based instructions to cover the stages. and find the controller app. Firstly download the app and make sure your device is on the local WiFi that you want to connect to. Run the app on your device (I’m using and iPhone 10). Follow the app instructions to go to your device’s wireless settings and select the LED WiFi strip controller. This connects the strip to the app on your device and the strip’s WiFi controller to your network. You know this has worked because the strip stops flashing and stays green. You can then rename the strip and control it from your phone.

These pictures show the app. The first screen shows the names of the three strips I’ve connected to my device and local WiFi. The next screenshot shows the colour selection screen. RGB specific settings at the top or just wave a finger over the spectrum to see the result.
