I’m having trouble connecting my SKYVIEW Pro to the BIOS Lighting mobile app.
Please refer to the steps below to connect your Gen 1 SKYVIEW Pro to the BIOS Lighting app. You can download the BIOS Lighting app on the Apple Store or Google Play Store.
When you open the BIOS app for the first time, you will need to synchronize your app to your SkyView Lamp. Tap “Add New Device” to begin the Bluetooth connection process between your lamp and your BIOS app. This search can take between 15 to 45 seconds. Do not close the app, let the search complete.
Once your device is found, your lamp’s ID will be displayed (example: BIOS-E0F123.) Select this device.
Next, connect your device to a Wi-Fi network. This search can take around 45 seconds, do not close the app, let the search complete. Once you locate your Wi-Fi device, select it, and proceed to verify your Wi-Fi password. It can take a few minutes for the Wi-Fi to connect to your Lamp’s server, please keep the app open during this process.
Once connected, you can then proceed to customizing your lamp’s schedule.
