Light Control Unit (BLE)
The Light control unit doesn’t have its own Wi-Fi network: Stand Alone management is done entirely through the LabKey mobile app on a mobile device connected to the control unit via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
Connecting to the control unit
- Turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone.
- Open the LabKey app: after it scans for devices, select the control unit from the list (e.g. “LK-XXXXX”).
- Tap the admin icon and log in with your password (you’ll need to create one the first time you connect).
For details on the first pairing procedure, see How to Connect to the Control Unit for Management.
