Here are a few notable features to look forward to:

Single Schedule vs Weekday Schedule:

With this update, you can create fully customizable schedules for each day of the week. This feature will ensure SKYVIEW molds to your routines, supporting your wellness at every hour of the day.

Scene Override Timer:

When utilizing the Scene Override feature, you can set a timer for that scene to run. You can choose between 30 minutes, 1 hour, 90 minutes or a custom time. After your selected scene's timer has elapsed, your SKYVIEW will automatically return to your regular schedule set for that day.

Follow the steps below to get your SKYVIEW App set up:

Step 1 – Download the SKYVIEW App from the App Store (Apple devices) or Google Play Store (Android devices).

Step 2 – Open the App and register your account with an email address or mobile number. IMPORTANT: The State/Region eld value is automatically specified based on your location and can also be manually changed. However, after the account is registered, this field value cannot be changed.

Step 3 – Assemble your SKYVIEW™ and plug in. SKYVIEW™ should flash red once it is plugged in. If it is not, press and hold the dial for 10 seconds until you see the flashing red light. This indicates SKYVIEW is in ‘pairing mode.’

Step 4 – While the red light is flashing and SKYVIEW™ is in pairing mode, you can add and connect your mobile device. To automatically add devices, the app must be granted Wi-Fi and Bluetooth permissions. When SKYVIEW™ is in pairing mode, the app should automatically detect the lamp and you should see a device image appear on the app screen under “All Devices.”

Step 5 – Next you will connect SKYVIEW™ to your local network. Now that you have added your SKYVIEW to the app, you will be prompted to connect SKYVIEW™ to your local network. If your smartphone device is connected to a Wi-Fi network, it will automatically select that network to use. IMPORTANT: You must be connected to a 2.4GHz network otherwise it will not connect. DO NOT USE 5GHz or “5G” NETWORK.

The first time you use the SKYVIEW App, you will be able to create a schedule for your SKYVIEW light to follow. There are three (3) ways you can choose to set up your SKYVIEW light schedule.

Option 1 - Synchronize your SKYVIEW™ to the Solar Schedule (local outdoor light schedule.) Best for matching indoor sunrise and sunset times with nature.

Option 2 - Synchronize your SKYVIEW™ to your Personal Sleep Schedule. Best for quick setup when matching with your weekly sleep and wakening schedule.

Option 3 - Synchronize your SKYVIEW™ with a fully Customizable by Day Schedule. Recommended for shiftwork, weekend sleep-ins and flexible schedules that change during the week.

Note, the Auto On and Auto Off features are independent of the day you have selected. This feature is useful when you have specific events that will change how your SKYVIEW light normally runs. Please view our support video for a tutorial on how to use the Auto On and Auto Off feature. 

At the bottom of the screen there are four (4) icons – On/Off, Home, Adjust, and Settings.

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 and Auto OFF functions do not work. These are driven by the cloud connection only. This includes the Schedule Wizard ON or OFF.
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. 

SKYVIEW™ requires the use of a smartphone or tablet to run the SKYVIEW App for initial setup. Once you have used the app to go through initial setup, you can set it and forget it!

2. Check your schedule settings and confirm the following details: 
   1. Times match what you had set up for your schedule.
   2. Check the brightness levels on each of the scenes.
   3. AM/PM is displayed correctly.
3. Your SKYVIEW 2 might be “dimmed to off.” To check, spin the dial clockwise a few times and see if your SKYVIEW 2 displays light.
4. Refresh your SKYVIEW 2 lamp connection to the Wi-Fi. 
   1. Remove power from the lamp for 30 seconds.
   2. Plug the lamp back into power when the 30 seconds have expired.
   3. The lamp will reconnect to its assigned Wi-Fi device within 90 seconds.
