Remote Control
You can use the remote control to control your lighting. This chapter provides general concepts 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

Lighting Groups
When organizing your network light bulbs, you can set them up into lighting groups and use your remote
to turn on and off light bulbs in selected lighting groups. 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.
For example, you might have a lighting group that includes light bulbs on the same floor. Or a group that
includes hallway and entryway lights, making it easy to turn on or off with your remote as you arrive or
leave home.
Note: You can set up a lighting group using your smart device; however, you can only control lighting groups, such as
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 to set up your light bulbs, then a light bulb can belong
to 4 lighting groups.
•
Your remote control can control up to 4 different lighting groups. If you add additional remote
controls to your network, each of them can control 4 additional lighting groups.
•
Each lighting group can contain up to 40 light bulbs.
Remote Control Range
When using your remote control, you must be within range of your lighting network to control your lighting.
