Find Help for Your SKYVIEW 2

  • My SKYVIEW 2 is hurting my eyes, why is this?

    Photophobia, or light sensitivity, can be triggered by sleep deprivation. To address this, we recommend dimming your SKYVIEW 2 Pro to around 60% brightness and continuing to use it consistently for a few weeks. This adjustment can improve your sleep and reduce sensitivity to the light. Over time, you can gradually increase the brightness to experience the full benefits.

  • How do I get my SKYVIEW 2 to manually turn on?

    Your SKYVIEW can be operated manually, without being connected to a schedule. Using the SKYVIEW dial you can manually turn the light on/off, dim the light up or down, toggle between day and night modes, and engage pairing mode.

    If you are having trouble using your SKYVIEW 2 in manual mode, here are a few things to review:

    • Make sure the SKYVIEW 2 power cable is securely plugged into a live wall outlet and securely connected into the base of the lamp.
    • Some outlets are controlled by a wall switch — Make sure that the wall switch is in the ON position.
    • Your SKYVIEW 2 might be “dimmed-to-OFF.” To check, turn the dial clockwise a few times and see if your SKYVIEW 2 displays light.

    Try these troubleshooting steps:

    1. Open the SKYVIEW App and go to the ‘Devices Home Screen’
    2. From the “Device” page, look to see if your SKYVIEW displays an “Offline” notice.
      • If the lamp is offline, please go to the How do I connect my SKYVIEW 2 to Wi-Fi article.
    3. Check your schedule settings and confirm the following details:
      • First, go to the “Settings” icon at the bottom of the SKYVIEW App home screen, then select “Edit Schedule,”
      • Check to see that the times match what you had set up for your schedule.
      • Next go back to settings and select “Edit Light” to check the brightness levels on each of the scenes and ensure they are not set to the least bright/off.
      • Also, look at the time on your “Settings” screen and make sure that AM/PM is displayed correctly.
    4. Additionally, check the dial at the base of the light to make sure your SKYVIEW 2 is not “dimmed-to-OFF.” To check, spin the dial clockwise a few times and see if your SKYVIEW 2 displays light.
    5. Refresh your SKYVIEW Lamp connection to the Wi-Fi.
      • Remove power from the lamp for 30 seconds.
      • Plug the lamp back into power when the 30 seconds have expired.
      • The lamp will reconnect to its assigned Wi-Fi device within 90 seconds.
