How to Use the SKYVIEW App

You can have multiple people within your household control your SKYVIEW lamp within the SKYVIEW App. To do so, you may use the Share Device feature. This allows more than one person to make changes to your lamp’s schedule, brightness, color temperature and all other features found within our SKYVIEW App!

Please follow the steps below:

1. Open the SKYVIEW App

2. Select your SKYVIEW device

3. In the upper right-hand corner, select the “Pencil” icon.

4. Next, select “Share Device.”

5. Choose your method (message, email, copy the link, etc.)

6. After sending it to the person you would like to share your SKYVIEW app controls with, they will receive a message and link.

7. Have them select the link. They will be sent to the link, where they can select “Go to SKYVIEW.” Note, they will need to have their own SKYVIEW login credentials.

8. Within the SKYVIEW App, have them select “Accept.”

9. The device will now appear on the “Devices” screen, under Devices Shared With Me.

The SKYVIEW app can control as many SKYVIEW 2 & SKYVIEW 2 Pro lamps as you would like!

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.

You must use the SKYVIEW App on your mobile device to adjust your light schedule. You may follow the steps below or view our video tutorial for editing your SKYVIEW schedule.

1. First, go to the SKYVIEW App home screen, select the “Settings” icon at the bottom of the screen.
2. Here, you may choose which day’s schedule you want to edit, notice the day of the week selected will be highlighted in white. 
3. Next, select “Edit Schedule.
4. Here, you have the following options:
   • Adjust the selected day’s Sunrise settings: time and duration, restoring your initial settings and synchronizing to the natural sunrise time (updated daily.) 
   • Adjust the selected day’s Sunset settings: time and duration, choosing between a half and full sunset, restoring your initial settings, and synchronizing to the natural sunset time (updated daily.)

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 home screen tells you the current time and date, the current light mode of your SKYVIEW™, as well as what’s coming next in your schedule. At the bottom of the screen there are four (4) icons – On/Off, Home, Adjust, and Settings.

• ‘On/Off’ allows you to turn the lamp on or off from the app.

• On the settings screen you can either select “Edit Schedule” to modify individual days, including ‘auto on’ and ‘auto off’ or you can select “Schedule Wizard” if you want to make global changes to your overall light schedule, including adjusting sleep and wake times for the entire week.

Auto-On and Auto-Off are designed to adjust your SKYVIEW™ schedule to better fit your day-to-day. We know that no day looks quite the same, your SKYVIEW lamp is here to support your schedule. This feature is useful when you have specific events that will change how your SKYVIEW light normally runs.

To make changes to your Auto-On and Auto-Off events, simply tap on the “Settings” icon on the bottom ribbon in the SKYVIEW App. From there, select the day you want to modify and then select “Edit Schedule."

Key examples of this feature:

• Do you leave the house at 7:30am Tuesdays and Thursdays? You can program your lamp to turn off at 7:30am on those days. On Mondays and Wednesdays you do not leave until 8:30am, you can program your lamp to turn off at 8:30am on those days.
• Coming home from work around 5:30pm? You can program your lamp to come back on when you arrive.

Please view our support video for a tutorial on how to use the Auto On and Auto Off feature.

Yes! In the SKYVIEW App you can temporarily override your wellness lighting schedule using the quick modes within the Schedule Override Feature. Simply tap the “Adjust” icon on the navigation bar at the bottom of the app screen. You can select one (1) of four (4) preset “Quick Modes”: Sleeping Mode, Reading Mode, Relaxing Mode, and Working Mode.

• Sleeping mode provides a red night light suitable for moving through your space without disrupting your circadian rhythm.
• Reading mode is a crisp white light designed to give you a little more comfort when reading.
• Relaxing mode provides a calm warm colored light for decompressing and setting a calming ambiance.
• Working mode brings the daytime working mode back to give you that boost to need at the end of the day.

Once you have selected an override mode, you can then select how long you would like to override to last. The “Home” screen will indicate that an override has been applied to your light, and the remaining time that is left for the scene to run. 

Please view our tutorial on how to use the Temporary Scene Override feature.

See below for the different options available when using the "Edit Light" feature, you may also view our video tutorial, which shows how to edit your light’s color and brightness within the app. 

Daytime Edit: The default setting for daytime mode is full brightness and blue skies, with a gradient from blue sky to white light from top to bottom. However, you can modify the blue to white gradient with the 'Edit Light' feature and make your daytime mode less blue and whiter at the top. You can also reduce the brightness of daytime mode with ‘Edit Light.’

Evening Edit: The default setting for evening mode is a calming amber color light with a gentle gradient from dark orange at the top to deeper yellow at the bottom. However, using ‘Edit Light’ you can modify the color to be more white (warm white) or even more red (more nighttime circadian-friendly). With 'Edit Light' you can also reduce the brightness.

Night Edit: Night mode provides a circadian friendly red light. However, using 'Edit Light' you can adjust the color to be more amber.

SKYVIEW™ offers two (2) kinds of sunset experiences — “Half Sunset” and “Full Sunset."

Half Sunset (default) provides a setting sun, followed by skyglow, and then directly transitions to evening mode. The only difference from “Full Sunset” is that Half Sunset eliminates complete darkness and fades directly from skyglow into evening mode.

Full Sunset is the most similar to a natural sunset and showcases a setting sun, followed by twilight, then 1 second of complete darkness, and finally transitions to evening mode.

The biological benefits remain the same in both a "Half Sunset” and “Full Sunset," it is designed to accommodate to your preferences.

This feature can be accessed, when editing your light’s schedule via the “Edit Schedule” button, check out our video tutorial for more information on editing your schedule.
