Remote Control
You can use the remote control when it is not convenient to use your smart device to
control your lighting. This chapter provides general concepts you should understand
about your remote control, steps for setting up your remote control for use, and
steps for general remote control operation.
Note: Some tasks in this chapter require pressing the Program button, which is
located inside the battery compartment on the back of the remote control. Be sure
to press this button only as directed in the instructions. Pressing it an additional time
during remote control programming mode immediately cancels the current operation.
General Remote Control Concepts
While you will probably use your smart device to control your lighting most of the
time, there may be times when it is more convenient to use your remote control.
During these times, you should understand a few concepts that are specic to your remote control:
• Lighting groups
• Remote control range
Lighting Groups
When organizing your network light bulbs, you can set them up into lighting groups. Then you can use your
remote control to turn on and off light bulbs in selected lighting groups. A lighting group is a set of network light
bulbs that you can control together through your remote control. For example, you might have a lighting group
that includes light bulbs on the same oor. Or you might have a group that includes hallway and entryway lights,
making it easy to turn on or off with your remote control as you arrive or leave home. All light bulbs in the same
group turn on and off together and brighten or dim to the same level. Your remote control has controls for four
lighting groups.
Note: You can set up a lighting group using your smart device or Web browser; however, you can only control
lighting groups (for example, turn light bulbs on or off) through your remote control.
The following limitations apply when working with network light bulbs and lighting groups:
• If you use your remote control to set up your lighting groups, then a light bulb can belong to only 1
lighting group. If you use your smart device or Web browser to set up your light bulbs, then a light bulb
can belong to 4 lighting groups.
