How to Pair: Setting up Nanoleaf Lines on AndroidUpdated 3 months ago

TIP | To pair before mounting, lay out the design for your Nanoleaf Lines on the floor or table and ensure that each panel is connected with a Linker.

Step 1:
Download the Nanoleaf Smarter Series App. 
When opening the app for the first time you will be prompted to create an account. This is used to connect to applications like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and IFTTT, but is not a mandatory step for setup otherwise. 

Step 2:
Plug your Nanoleaf Lines into power, and wait for the boot-up cycle to finish. 
You'll know it's finished once your Lines begin cycling through colors and the light on the Controller remains steady. 

 

IMPORTANT RE: PAIRING WINDOW
The Controller's light will start flashing after 15 minutes, signaling the need for another soft reset.

Step 3:
Ensure you're on your home network and is set up as a 2.4 GHz network.

Press "Start Pairing" in the app.
NOTE | If this prompt does not appear automatically, you can find it by going into the "...More" tab in the bottom right corner, tapping "Devices", then tapping the "+" in the bottom right corner.
 
Step 4:
Select your pairing option: QR code, NFC Tap, or Manual Input. 
NOTE | Your pairing and QR code can be found on the postcard that came with your Lines, on the back of the Controller, and on the back of the Power Supply.
 
Alternatively, Nanoleaf Lines can be paired through NFC pairing, by tapping your phone to the back of the Controller.

NOTE | NFC will need to be activated on your mobile device to use this feature. Only certain phones support NFC pairing. 
 
Step 5:
Select the network that you want to connect your 
Lines and enter your password to your network.

- Go to settings and join "Lines XXXX"
 

- Return to the app and press "Continue".
 
 
The panels should flash green at some point during this step. 

Step 6: Name your Lines and assign them to a room.

Step 7:
The "Setup Orientation" screen will appear and verify the alignment of your Lines within the on-screen display. While the "LayoutDetect" feature automatically detects how your Lines are connected, you may still need to rotate the layout on the screen. This ensures that the animations of your Scenes follow the correct direction.

 
Enjoy your Lines!
