How do I set up initial Wi-Fi connection for Trimlight Wi-Fi 104 system?
The Trimlight Wi-Fi 104 controller can be paired with a smartphone or tablet so you can access the system’s available lighting controls. Because this is an earlier Trimlight controller generation, its setup process differs from pairing a Select Plus or Edge controller. The video below shows the correct connection sequence for the Wi-Fi 104 system.
Before starting, make sure the controller is powered on and remain close enough for your mobile device to detect its signal. Open the Wi-Fi settings on your phone or tablet and review the available networks. During setup, the controller may broadcast a Trimlight Wi-Fi signal that allows your device to communicate directly with it.
Follow the tutorial to connect your mobile device and complete the initial pairing process. Avoid switching to another network, closing the controls, or moving away from the controller while the connection is being established. Allow the controller and mobile device enough time to communicate before trying the steps again.
The controller’s indicator light can help identify its connection status. A solid blue light means the controller is broadcasting its own Trimlight Wi-Fi signal, while a solid green light indicates that it is connected to a local Wi-Fi network. If the expected network does not appear, refresh the available Wi-Fi networks on your device and confirm that the controller has power.

After pairing, open the Trimlight controls and test the connection by turning the lights on or selecting a color or program. If the controller does not appear or stops responding, restart the controller and reopen the controls before repeating the pairing process. Also confirm that the Wi-Fi signal is strong near the controller.
