- Go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and search for “Twinkly.” Download and install the app on your smartphone or tablet.
- Open the Twinkly App: Launch the app and create an account if you don’t already have one. Follow the on-screen instructions to log in.
- Select the GENERATION II controller.
- Press and hold the controller button until the light turns to a solid cyan colour (about five seconds). This indicates that your lights are ready to be paired to your phone via Bluetooth.
- Follow the prompts to connect your Twinkly lights to your home Wi-Fi network. Don’t close the app during the process. This will allow you to control the lights remotely and use additional features.
- Position your lights as desired on your tree, wall or other setup.
- Use the Twinkly app to map the lights. The app will guide you through taking a photo of your setup, which helps it understand the layout of the lights for precise control.
- Explore the variety of pre-set effects and animations available in the app. Use the app to create custom effects, adjust colours, brightness and animations.
- Set schedules for your lights to turn on and off automatically. Integrate with smart home systems (like Google Home or Amazon Alexa) for voice control and automation.
