PlantaeLight
Getting Started — your first 5 minutes with the app.
Before you start
- A 2.4 GHz WiFi network (most home networks) and its password.
- The PlantaeLight app from the App Store or Google Play.
- Your new device plugged into a mains outlet.
Setup
Install the app and sign in
Search PlantaeLight on the App Store or Google Play. Use Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google to skip passwords — or tap Create account, enter your email + a password (8+ chars), and verify with the 6-digit code emailed to you.
Plug in your device
Connect it to its power adapter. The status LED slowly pulses at first, then starts blinking quickly — it's ready to pair.
Add it in the app
On the Home screen, tap the + button in the top-right corner. Allow Bluetooth and Location when prompted. Pick your PlantaeLight from the list (its name starts with PL_ followed by the 8-character serial on the back of the unit).
Choose your WiFi
The app shows the networks your device can see. Select yours and enter the password. Only 2.4 GHz networks appear — that's normal.
Wait ~30 seconds
The device joins WiFi, registers with the cloud, and shows up in your dashboard. Status light turns solid. You do not need to switch your phone's WiFi — the whole setup runs over Bluetooth.
Turn on the lights
Tap your device, slide the brightness up, or apply a recipe from the Recipes tab to match the plant you're growing.
Something didn't work?
Unplug, wait 10 seconds, plug back in. Most issues clear up on reboot. Full guide at manual.plantaelight.com.
Want to move the device?
Power-cycle it three times in three seconds to factory-reset — then pair it with any account as if brand new.
