EGLO connect products can be connected with several devices (Android and iOS). For each further device, just log in with your user data created during the initial logon.

Simultaneous use may cause problems (i.e. bulb out of reach).

In order to restore controllability, scroll or swipe downwards in the app's device overview (= "refresh") or switch the Bluetooth service off and on again.

All linked bulbs in the app should then be visible and controllable again.


8. "Alarm" has become "Programs"

During the last update of the Smart Control App by AwoX, the "Alarm" function was replaced by the new "Programs" feature.

Thanks to the new feature it is now possible to use five new options for better control and handling. These new features are:

  • Timer
  • Night light
  • Twilight simulator
  • Prescene simulator
  • Program

Timer

The timer allow you to set a countdown for switching your EGLO connect luminaires on or off.

Night light

With the new "Night light" function, the switch-on and switch-off times of your EGLO connect luminaires can be easily programmed. Choose your personal period, the preferred days of the week, the desired sequence and brightness and illuminate your home during the night.

Twilight simulator

The twilight simulator makes it easy to set the time that your EGLO connect luminaires need for increasing illumination before they reach full brightness at the set time.

Prescene Simulator

Use the prescene simulator to create a schedule to simulate an prescene even when you are not at home.

Program

The new "Program" function allows you to create daily programs that switch your EGLO connect products on and off. This feature is especially recommended for those who often forget to turn off the luminaires before leaving the house.

10. Information about the new PRESET function

In the FAVORITES you will now find 4 so-called "PRESETS". These 4 PRESETS are "programmable favourites".

These PRESETS are stored at item level, but can also be used at individual luminaire level, room level or group level.

With this new feature it is now possible to create individual lighting scenes for rooms or groups.

How is a PRESET saved?

Select the desired lighting setting for your luminaire. You can do this either by selecting a favourite or by adjusting the lighting scene using the colour palette. Press and hold the desired PRESET button to save the setting at luminaire level. IMPORTANT: You can also set the desired lighting scene using the remote control. Press and hold one of the two buttons for favourites on the remote control to save the setting.
Favourites button 1 on the remote control = PRESET 1, button 2 = PRESET 2.

How to call up a PRESET?

You can call up the PRESETS using the application (at luminaire level, room level or group level to which the luminaire is assigned) To do this, briefly press the respective PRESET button. PRESET 1 and PRESET 2 can also be called up using the remote control. They correspond to the "FAVORIT 1" and "FAVORIT 2" buttons on the remote control.
IMPORTANT: Before version 5.3.2, "FAVORIT 1" and "FAVORIT 2" on the remote control were intended to call up preset favourites for all luminaires controlled by the remote control. The favourite was then applied to ALL luminaires.
With version 5.3.2, the "FAVORIT 1" and "FAVORIT 2" buttons call up the PRESETS individually set for the respective luminaire. This now allows individual lighting scenes for entire rooms or groups to be set and saved! Below is an example of how to create such a lighting scenario for a room.
