Initial Login The Gemstone Lights HUB app allows you to control your lights from anywhere through the cloud or by Bluetooth connection

Step 1: In your device’s App store, Download the “Gemstone Lights HUB” App

Step 2: Click “Login with Existing Account”. Login using your cell phone number or email

and your default password: “12345678”

(Other desired users can access and control your lights by using this same login)

Tips from Helpful Herby!

-Folders & Modes are device specific and will only appear on individual devices.

-Timers, however, save to the controller and will appear for anyone who logs in to your lights.

By selecting this Bluetooth symbol you can access and control your lights without wifi. (Bluetooth offers all the same control as the cloud connection. The only restriction is that you must be within Bluetooth range of the controller). Your default Bluetooth password is: 123456

If you have multiple zones (controllers), you can group the zones together. (timers & custom modes cannot be used within a group)

On / Off Switch (when switched from off to on, lights will come on to the whatever was last active)

“Online” does not necessarily mean that the lights are turned on but means that the controller has a good connection with the wifi

Press “Install” to install desired folder

*If there is an error installing the folder, SWIPE row to the left to bring up these buttons.
