NX-GL4 Smart RGBW LED Garden Lights

WARNINGS

Consult a licensed electrician if you are unsure of the AC connection or do not have a power point within connection range.
Do not disassemble the Adaptor, Smart Controller or Lights.
There are no user serviceable parts within this kit.
Do not stare directly at the LED lights.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the NX-GL4 Smart RGBW LED Garden Lights. These lights can be controlled directly by the Smart Controller, via our free smartphone app and by your voice, using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

PRE-INSTALLATION

This system works with 2.4GHz WiFi networks only. Depending on your router model, you may need to disable 5HGz networks while connecting the Garden Lights to your WiFi network. Please see ‘Quick Explainer’ on page 7.
Insert the NX-GL4 Garden Lights power cable in to the AC adaptor and firmly tighten the locking nut.
Please install your NX-GL4 Garden Lights within the range of your WiFi router. To test this, pair the lights with the NX Smart App at a location close to the router. Once paired, you can test different installation locations within your WiFi range.
PLEASE NOTE:
- It may take 1-2 minutes for the lights to re-connect with the WiFi network once you have relocated them.
Before installing the lights in your garden, lay the cable along the ground to ensure they will reach your desired installation location. This kit includes extra-long cable lengths to ensure maximum installation flexibility.

NX SMART APP SETUP

APP DOWNLOAD

Download the NX Smart app from the Apple or Google Play stores by searching `NX Smart ‘ or scan the QR code below.

APP REGISTRATION

To register, select `Sign Up.’ Please read and agree to the privacy policy, then enter your email address. Select `Get Registration Code’ then retrieve the code sent to your email. Please enter the code into the app to create your account and set your password.

You will be asked to authorise access to several services including Bluetooth,’Notifications’ and `Location Services.’ All of these functions enhance the operation of the app. To activate Music Mode, you’ll be asked for access to your smartphone’s microphone.

HOME MANAGEMENT

To enable extra NX-GL4 Garden Lights control options, like adding other users and organising your garden lights into different areas, follow the steps below (you can also set up Home Management later).

CONFIGURATION STEPS:

Select ` Me’ on the menu at the bottom of the screen.
Select `Home Management.’
Then select `My Home’ to configure your default home setting.
Add a home name, then set Location’ (optional). After this step, you can add and name garden areas (the app refers to this as a ‘room’). For example, **Side Garden.’ Always select `Save’** when you have finished making changes.

ADD YOUR GARDEN LIGHTS TO THE APP

Ensure your smartphone is connected to your 2.4GHz WiFi network (this is a specific home network, if you are unsure of the difference, please read the quick explainer below).
Power up your NX-GL4 Garden Lights. Within 3 seconds, they should start flashing red. If they don’t, press and hold the button on the smart controller (figure below) for 5 seconds until they start flashing.
QUICK EXPLAINER:
- Modern home routers typically provide two WiFi networks (5GHz and 2.4GHz). These separate networks won’t always be named clearly, especially if you have re-named your home WiFi network.
- For your NX-GL4 Garden Lights to work, you will need to pair them to the 2.4GHz WiFi network, which has a greater range and a stronger and more reliable signal. If you are unsure which of your WiFi networks is 2.4GHz, please clarify with your network provider.

The NX-GL4 Garden Lights have the latest pairing technology to ensure quick and easy setup. To pair the lights to your app, please ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.
Select `Add Device.’

`Garden Lights’ will show on the screen as the device to be added. Select `Go to Add’ to confirm this selection.
On the next screen, select the `+’ icon (as circled in below image) to confirm this selection.
Your WiFi network name will be displayed. If your 2.4HGz WiFi network name is not displayed, please leave the app, connect your Smartphone to the 2.4GHz network then return to the app and enter the WiFi password and select confirm. You can also enter the network name manually if it is not displayed. Please refer to our ‘Quick Explainer’ on page 7 if this is not clear. If you still cannot find your 2.4GHz WiFi, please contact your internet provider.
NOTE:
- Bluetooth is only used to enable easy connection to the lights. After they are connected to WiFi, Bluetooth is not required.
The pairing process will start. A confirmation screen will be shown when complete. At this stage you can rename your NXGL4 Garden Lights if you choose to. This name will be used to trigger your lights if you are using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. You can change the name by selecting the pen icon (circled in the image below). You can allocate the lights to a specified living area if you have set up Home Management and easily control multiple devices and/or create smart automations.
