Connecting Luminea devices to a Wi-Fi network from the Luminea app

If you are not using the router provided with the Luminea device, you will need to connect each of the Luminea devices to the available Wi-Fi network. Your tablet will also need to be connected to the same network.

To do so, follow these steps:

Once the app has been installed, and before launching it, make sure that:

  •  The tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network that you wish to connect your Luminea device to.
  •  The Luminea device is connected to the mains supply (once connected, wait 10 seconds until it no longer shines with white light).  There is a strong Wi-Fi signal where the Luminea device is located.
  •  The Luminea device is not connected via DMX.

Follow these steps to connect your Luminea device to the Wi-Fi network:

1.Open the Luminea app for Android in your tablet. If it is the first time you are using it, the app tutorial will run automatically.

2.Select “Devices” in the menu ( ) at the top right of the screen. If it is the first time you are accessing this screen, the tutorial will run automatically

3. Press the refresh button (🗘) to search for available Luminea devices nearby. In order to do so, you will need to allow location sharing the first time you use the app.⟲⟳

4. Luminea devices that have been detected and are ready for use will appear in the “Ready for setup” section.  Your device may not appear at first. If your Luminea device does not appear after several attempts. disconnect it from the mains supply, wait for a few minutes, then reconnect it and try again.

5. To adjust the Wi-Fi settings on another Luminea device that is shown as “Ready for setup”, touch the icon on the screen and follow the instructions that appear:

Step 1 of 3: Connect your tablet to the Wi-Fi network on the device you want to set up. The network name will appear on the screen “Luminea-XXXX-XX”. 

You may see a message stating that the selected network is not connected to the internet. If so, select “Maintain Wi-Fi connection”.

Connect your tablet to the Wi-Fi network on the device you want to set up.

Step 2 of 3: A dialogue box will appear, allowing you to select the Wi-Fi network you wish to connect your Luminea device to. It will request the network password.

Once you have typed in the network information, press “Save”.  This data will be sent to the Luminea device, which will connect to your network.

Step 3 of 3: Now, you can disconnect your tablet from the Luminea device’s Wi-Fi and reconnect it your own. Press “Accept” on the screen once you have done so.

 

6. The app will continue to scan for available devices. Your Luminea device will now appear as “Ready to use”.

Repeat this process with all your Luminea devices.
