Colour Effects

The same setting method remains for the colour ambient tones of the bulb. For example, you can set orange tones similar to a sunset, which is best for lighting in late night hours, or slightly bluish tones for lighting during a TV evening.
Under the Preset icon, various static and dynamic lighting modes are hidden. You can choose from modes such as work, rest, and dynamic effects such as ocean, meadow, forest, etc.

Dynamic Effects

Here, choose one of the preset dynamic colour effects. The bulb will automatically change colour and light intensity in a coloured sequence shown in the preview of the selected icon.

Biological Rhythms

This function is designed to ensure that the bulb always shines with the ideal light for the human body at any time of day. Just as the intensity of light changes during the day and the colour of light changes with the dawn and sunset, the bulb can change the parameters of white light. This means that in the morning and in the evening, the bulb adds a red colour component to the light, and conversely, removes the blue one. During the day, the bulb emits cold white light, which is needed for the proper functioning of the human body. In the late afternoon and as evening approaches, the bulb adds a red colour component (warm white light), which is important for the release of the sleep hormone, melatonin. This allows the body to tune in to the resting mode.

Back button

Note: Each organism may have slightly different preferences. Therefore, in the Custom mode, you can change the transition time between individual phases of Biological Rhythms according to your own requirements:

Note: In the timing of the Biological Rhythms function, there may be a deviation of +/- 30 seconds.

Other bulb functions such as Sleep Mode, Dawn Mode, Timer, Minute and Music Mode are hidden under the Settings icon.

Sleep Mode

This function aims to automatically turn off the bulb after you fall asleep, simply by setting the time you go to bed. To make the transition to darkness as smooth as possible, set the time for the light of the bulb to dim until it goes out completely. Then select the days for repetition, or set the function as a one-time event.
Note: The time for the light to dim is added to the currently set time, i.e. if you set the bedtime to 23:00 and the light dimming time to 30 minutes, the bulb will go out completely at 23:30.

Back button
Button to save the current setting
Setting the bed time – by moving your finger up and down, set the desired time.
Setting the light dimming time – for a smooth transition from light to darkness.
Setting repetition – one-time, individual days, week.

Dawn Mode

This function works analogously to the Sleep Mode function, except that the bulb will turn on at the set time. In addition, there is an option for Automatic bulb switch-off. After checking this function, you can set the time when the bulb will switch off by itself.

Timers

The purpose of the timer is to automate routine tasks and simplify the operation of the bulb as much as possible. You can set up to 20 tasks, and for each task, you can set the days of the week for which the task will be performed. Alternatively, you can set the task for a specific date and time. For each task, you can also set whether the bulb is to be switched off or on, as well as the light and brightness of the bulb. You can set the colour and brightness of the white light, as well as the colour and brightness of the colour mode or trigger preset lighting scenes.

Random Timing

The random timing function is designed to simulate random switching of the light and thus give the impression that the apartment, house or building is occupied. This function can contribute to securing your home, especially if you are on vacation or away from home for an extended period. The light is switched on and off at the set time.

Back button
Countdown time setting – adjusted by swiping your finger up or down.
Button to start the countdown.

Music Mode

The music response mode uses the microphone of the mobile phone to dynamically change the bulb‘s colours in response to the speed and volume of the music you are listening to. This function is great for parties as well as creating an intimate atmosphere.

Music mode offers 3 modes:
Standard mode – suitable for most situations
Game mode – suitable for gamers
Romantic mode – suitable for creating a pleasant atmosphere

Back button
Button to turn on/off the standard mode
Button to turn on/off the game mode

Device Information

Here, you will find information important for service support in case of device issues.

Quick Preset and Automation

Here, you will find a list of quick presets (click to start) and automations associated with the respective device, if you have created any for the device.

Connection to Alexa and Google Play Voice Assistants

Here, you will find information on how to connect the device to third-party smart voice assistants (if supported). The pairing process with the voice assistant is recorded directly in the application.

Offline Notifications

This function will inform you if the device is not connected to the Internet, and therefore remote control through the mobile application is not possible. The function is disabled by default and you can enable it.

Shared Devices

This option allows you to share the device with other RETLUX Home users, such as family or friends. You can share directly via the RETLUX Home mobile app or via third-party services (Facebook, Whatsapp, etc.). The shared user can control the smart device but cannot change its functions or remove it from the app completely.

Create a Group

This option allows you to group smart devices of the same type together and control them at the same time. For example, if you have multiple smart bulbs in one room, creating a group allows you to control all the bulbs together (switch on/off, dim and change colour effects). After creating and naming the group, it will be displayed on the main home screen, where you can also control it. Note: Remember that only devices of the same type can be grouped; for example, two different models of smart bulbs RSH 101 and 102 can be grouped. However, you cannot group a smart bulb with a smart extension cord or a smart socket. To control different types of smart devices at the same time, use the Automation or Click to Start functions.

FAQ and Support

In this section you will find a database of frequently asked questions related to RETLUX Home smart bulbs as well as contact details for email and technical support.

Add to Home Screen

Using this option, you can create a quick link to the smart bulb and place it on your phone‘s home screen. By clicking on the icon, you can directly open the bulb control panel without the need to open the RETLUX Home app.

Check Network

On this tab, you can check if the Wi-Fi connection to your socket is functional and if the settings and signal strength of your router are satisfactory. If you want to verify the quality of the Wi-Fi signal at the bulb‘s location, use this function.

Check Firmware Update

Here, you can check if your device firmware is up to date. You also have the option to activate automatic updates. Note: Even if automatic updates are selected, there may be situations where it is necessary to restart the device or manually confirm the update.

Remove Device

Here, you can delete your device from the mobile app. To re-add the device, it is necessary to pair the device again. See the section on pairing the smart bulb.

Resetting the Smart Bulb

Resetting (Restoring) Network Connection:
See Step 3. Reset the bulb by turning it on and off 5 times, with at least a one-second pause between each on/off cycle. After resetting, the light will pulse. Subsequently, you need to perform the standard pairing process; see the Add to the Application section.
Resetting Network Connection and Deleting Data (Factory Reset):
