Smart control
Experience the convenience of smart outdoor lighting
For some applications, warm white light is all you need. For other applications, however, your garden could benefit from some colour. With the colour wheel and the white-warm white colour wheel, you determine the atmosphere in your garden. You can adapt the atmosphere to any kind of occasion: a dinner with friends, a big party or a relaxing moment on a late summer evening.
Are you happy with the colour scheme? Save this as a scene to always jump right back into the same atmosphere.

Making use of the dark/light sensor
Using of the dark/light sensor
The Switch Plus includes a built-in dark/light sensor. You can configure it in the Garden Lights app so that your lighting switches on when it gets dark and switches off at daylight. In order for this feature to work properly, you should take the position of the sensor into account when placing the Switch Plus. The sensor must be exposed to ambient light. Make sure the sensor is not exposed to interrupting light such as streetlights because this might interfere with optimal functioning of the sensor.
Resetting the Switch Plus to factory settings
The reset button is located on the back of the Switch Plus. It allows you to reset the Switch Plus to factory settings. This button can be used in case of malfunctioning, or if you forgot the password you created using the app. Please follow the steps below to reset the Switch Plus to factory settings:
Step 1.
Verify if the Switch Plus is plugged in. The green indicator light on the Switch Plus should be visible.
Step 2.
Push and hold the reset button for at least six seconds.
Step 3.
Wait a few seconds before releasing the button.
Step 4.

Need additional help?
Do I need a smartphone for the Switch Plus?
To operate the Switch Plus, a device is required on which the Garden Lights Plus app can be installed. This can be a phone or a tablet.
Can I connect multiple Switches to a single system?
Yes, this is possible. Please note that you cannot connect multiple Switches in a row. You have to make a separate extension for each Switch Plus. This way, you can also create different zones and control each zone in your garden separately.
Can I combine the Switch Plus with other outdoor lighting accessories, such as the motion detector?
This is only possible if both accessories are connected to a separate extension and not directly after one another.
Which garden lights can I turn into smart lights with the smart MR16?
The MR16 Plus light source can be used for the following Garden Lights products: Corvus, Focus, Arcus, Gilvus, Otis, Pavo, Remiz and Sibus.
Do I need the Switch Plus if I already have smart lights?
No, you can combine the smart products, but this is not necessary. You use the Switch Plus if you want to control the outdoor lighting remotely, set several timers or make use of the dark-light sensor.
Choose smart lights if you want to dim the lights or change their colour. These settings can then be linked to a timer.
What is the advantage of smart lights?
With the smart lights from Garden Lights, you can adjust your garden lighting to any desired atmosphere and occasion. You can dim the lights or change their colour. In addition, you can increase safety by setting as many timers as you like.
Will my timer work even when my phone is not nearby?
The phone only needs to be near the smart light or Switch and connected while programming the timer. The smart light or Switch then remembers the settings, and the timer also works when you are not at home.
