TROUBLE SHOOTING

ARE SOME LIGHTS NOT WORKING?

Lights seem to produce incorrect colors in the pattern or in certain sections.

A single light is a different color or is not on when the system is running.

A section is off entirely or only produces BLUE when the system is on or off.

  1. Take a picture of the area in question. Make sure to get enough of the area

    so the technician can easily locate the issue and know exactly where

    the problem is without turning the system on.

  2. Text or Email us the picture with an explanation of

    the issue.

  3. A technician will reach out to schedule the repair or they will perform the repair without needing an appointment if the picture gives them a clear understanding of the problem. They will offer this service when they are in the vicinity.

This interactive guide will provide you with a simple, step by step resolution process based on your specific issue. Select which Trimlight system you are currently using below and follow the interactive guide for that system to resolve your specific issue.

How do I rename the Trimlight Signal?

Connect to the Trimlight wifi signal, open the Trimlight app, turn the lights onto manual mode, then long press on the word Trimlight. A window will pop up with the option to rename the network. Once finished, you must hard close the app, refresh your wifi networks, and connect to the new signal name.

How do I perform a soft reset?

‍Simply locate the white Trimlight controller, unplug it for 1 solid minute, then plug back in. You can also cut power to the white controller by pulling out the green cube next to the blue or green light for 1 minute then plugging back in. This will clear any error codes in your controller without deleting any patterns or timers you have saved.

Why won't Trimlight pair into my home network?‍

While Trimlight is designed to connect to any 2.4gHz wifi signal, we cannot guarantee that it will pair to all home networks due to factors that are outside our control. Some of these factors include: Type of modem/router being used, Firewall and security settings on home router/modem, Obstacles between Trimlight controller and modem/router. Potential interference from other devices: LED lights, solar panel controllers, Tesla battery chargers, other wifi devices, etc. If you still cannot pair your home network, we recommend reaching out to your internet provider as some techs may be able to assist you in pairing Trimlight to your specific modem/router. If all else fails, no worries, you can simply use Trimlight's dedicated wifi signal (blue light on controller) to connect to your Trimlight system as that is always reliable.

What is the "pair new device" button?

The "pair new device" button allows you to pair Trimlight to your home network. Keep in mind we cannot guarantee Trimlight will connect to your home network based on many variable outside our control such as type of router/modem, firewall settings, potential obstacles, interference from other devices, etc.

If I unplug power to Trimlight, do I lose saved patterns/timers?

No, the Trimlight controller has a built in battery so all saved programs and timers will not be lost if the controller loses power. That being said, we always recommend keeping the Trimlight controller plugged in at all times unless performing a soft reset or hard reset.

Why can I no longer connect to my Trimlight system?

The most common reason for connection issues is due to a power loss at the controller or the controller signal getting switched due to a brief power outage or customer change. As long a blue light is showing on controller (quick click and release STA/AP button on controller to toggle between blue and green), you should see Trimlight signal in your wifi network options. As long as solid green light is showing (quick click and release STA/AP button on controller to toggle between blue and green), you should be able to connect to Trimlight app using your home wifi network.
