Wireless Lighting Network
Wireless lighting utilizes the router’s wireless technology to allow you to control and manage the lights from a
smart device. To do this, the Gateway in the lighting kit is built to communicate with the wireless light bulbs.
Since the Gateway connects to the wireless router, other devices connected to that same router (such as your
smart device) can access the Gateway.
With your wireless light bulbs connected to the Gateway, your smart device can control them as long as the
smart device is running the appropriate application. The lighting application enables your smart device to connect
to the Gateway through the home wireless router connection and in turn control and manage the attached
network lighting.
Local vs. Remote Connection
In networking, the following terms are used to describe how a device may be connecting to the network:
• Local refers to a network connection when the device is connected directly to that network’s router.
For example, when you are at home, your smart device or Web browser (through your computer)
would be connected to your wireless router and therefore would be connected locally. You would
not have to use an Internet or mobile data connection because your smart device is already
connected directly through your router. It can access your lighting network locally because your
lighting network is also attached to the same router (through the Gateway).
• Remote (not to be confused with remote control) refers to a network connection when the device is
not connected directly to that network’s router. In this case, the device uses an Internet or mobile
