What is the SkyView 2 Pro Plug and Play Feature? How do I enable it?

The Plug and Play feature allow you to control your SkyView 2 Pro over a Bluetooth connection. Please view our support video to learn how to enable the Plug and Play feature.

Please note, this is not the recommended setup or usage of your lamp. We encourage you to connect your SkyView App and lamp to your Wi-Fi cloud connection, so that you can enjoy the immense features and benefits of our technology.

If you choose to use the SkyView 2 Pro Plug and Play feature, please note that it has functional differences compared to the standard Wi-Fi cloud connection:

1. Power is required to maintain time. Time is provided when the SkyView App is active, in range, and your SkyView 2 Pro is powered. If power is cycled, time is lost. To reload, simply get the mobile device or tablet within Bluetooth range and start the SkyView App. The power button shown on the Main Screen will reflect the device state when the time has been set.
2. Natural Sunrise will not update daily. Cloud connection is required to get updates to the Solar schedule.
3. Schedule execution requires the lamp to be ON - Auto ON function does not work. These are driven by the cloud connection only.
4. Firmware Updates are not Available. You must be connected to the cloud to have firmware updates pushed to the device.

How to enable the Plug and Play feature:

1. When adding your SkyView 2 Pro to the SkyView App, the ‘Skip and Connect over Bluetooth’ option is exposed – press the text to initiate this mode. 

 

2. Once the device has been added, you will see a message pop up indicating a device needs to be activated (see below).  This can be closed by selecting the ‘X’.

3. Now the device can be controlled when in bluetooth range of the Smartphone.
