How do I backup my custom patterns in Trimlight Edge?

Custom patterns often take time to get exactly right. You may have saved displays for Christmas, birthdays, game days, seasonal events, or everyday accent lighting. A backup helps preserve those designs before troubleshooting or controller changes that could affect the patterns stored in the system.

The best time to create a backup is while the controller and app are working normally. A restore can only recover patterns that were successfully backed up beforehand. Completing the backup before a hard reset gives you the best chance of returning the system to the way you had it programmed.

Make sure the Trimlight Edge app on your phone or tablet is updated to the latest available version. Using the current version helps ensure that the backup tools shown in the tutorial are available and operating correctly.

Open the Trimlight Edge app and follow the steps demonstrated in the video below. Keep the app open while the backup is being created, and avoid disconnecting the controller or closing the app until the process has finished.

Once the backup is complete, it can be used if your saved patterns need to be restored later. Trimlight provides separate restoration instructions, but that process depends on having a previous backup available.

Creating a new backup after adding or changing several patterns can also help keep your saved copy current. This prevents recently created designs from being left out if a reset becomes necessary in the future.

Watch the tutorial below for a visual walkthrough of the backup feature and where to find it inside the Trimlight Edge app.
