How do I set up initial Wi-Fi connection for Trimlight Select Plus?
Connect your Trimlight Select Plus controller to Wi-Fi so you can begin controlling your permanent outdoor lighting system from your mobile device. Once the controller is connected, you can access the available colors, patterns, schedules, and other lighting controls through the Trimlight app. Have your Wi-Fi network name and password ready before starting. Your phone should be connected to the same home network you want the Trimlight controller to use. Staying near the controller during setup may also help your phone maintain a reliable connection while the system is being paired. Carefully review the network information entered during setup. Wi-Fi passwords are case-sensitive, so uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters must be entered correctly. A typing error or weak signal near the controller may prevent the connection from being completed.

This video explains how to make the initial connection between your Trimlight Select Plus controller, mobile device, and home Wi-Fi network. Follow the steps shown in the tutorial to add the controller and prepare your permanent lighting system for use.
Open the Trimlight app and follow the setup prompts displayed on your phone. When asked to choose a network, select the correct Wi-Fi connection and enter the password exactly as it appears in your router settings. Allow the controller enough time to communicate with the app and complete the pairing process.
If the connection does not complete, check the Wi-Fi signal near the controller using your phone. Exterior walls, brick, metal, distance from the router, and other obstructions can weaken the network signal. Moving closer to the controller or improving the Wi-Fi coverage in that area may help.
You can also force close and reopen the app before attempting the connection again. Confirm that the controller is powered on and that your phone has not switched to a different available network during setup.
