LIFX Digital Tile Kit
Plan ahead
Place your Tiles face down on a tabletop in your desired arrangement. Ensure a power supply is nearby.
Plug them in
Choose a Tile to be your Starter Tile for your arrangement—you can use any Tile. Plug the Starter Tile into the power supply via the long cable. Connect all remaining Tiles securely via the short cables in the desired layout.
Connect to App
Download and open the LIFX App. From here you can click the +, select the starter Tile and onboard it. All remaining Tiles will onboard automatically.
Check power supply
All Tiles should light up either white or blue to indicate they are working. If any Tile appears red, it is not receiving power. We have troubleshooting steps to help if this happens.HELP MY TILES ARE RED!
3M Strip Placement
Disconnect all cables, turn off the power supply and remove the sticker backs off the 3M strips on each Tile. Position a single tile on the clean wall — keep Tile cables disconnected.
Press each corner of the Tile firmly onto the surface for 30 seconds (the second set of hands helps if you can get them!) Once stuck, figure out the position of the next one. Remove each Tile as you go to allow the adhesive to set without weight (see next page for tips). Repeat for all remaining Tiles.
Tip.
When removing Tiles from the wall, grip one corner and pull towards you. Steady the Tile with your other hand so it won’t drop. Do not pull the whole Tile straight
Set 3M Strips
Allow to set for 60 minutes, this will prevent any Tiles from falling at a later date due to weaker adhesion.
Install
Now you’re ready to place your Tiles back on the wall. Reconnect the small cables as you go, weaving them through the channels at the back to hide them. Do this one at a time and leave some length to connect the next Tile. Copy this cord layout for a good side-by-side Tile layout fit.
Line up and press each Tile back into the 3M Command Strips—you will hear them click as you press each corner. Reconnect the Starter Tile to the power supply and turn on.
Single tap turns on or off.
Double tap cycle through modes.
Paint in the app. Click on the name of your tile, go to ‘palette’, and
set the mode from ‘fill’ to ‘paint’.
