FAQ Smart Lighting

Can I add multiple switches to one area?

Yes, that is possible. Just add more than one switch to the same area. Please realize that every switch has its own lightings scenes (presets). Scene 1 on switch A is not the same as scene 1 on switch B. You just have to define them separately.

The Smart Sensor does not switch off the lights when there is nobody in the room, what do I need to do?

1. Connect the Smart Sensor to the power (230V)
2. Make sure the Smart Sensor is added to the relevant Area.
3. Activate the sensor by creating an “Automatic scene” and activate that scene by tapping on it, once created in the App.
4. Or: create an Smart Switch or App Scene with the Smart Sensor enabled and activate that Lighting Scene.
5. The correct setup of the Smart Sensor can be verified by activating the “Test Mode” in the Settings of the Smart Sensor by tapping on it in the Opple Smart App. After enabling the “Test Mode”, the Smart Sensor will turn off the lights already after 5-8 seconds of no movement detection. Please do not forget to turn off the “Test Mode” afterwards.

I do not get an email with the login code, what do I need to do?

Most likely, the verification email from the Opple Smart server is considered as SPAM by your email system. Please check your SPAM folder for the verification email. If no email can be found, please hit the “Send Code” button in the Smart App again. If still no email with a verification code is received, please use an email address from a different email system to log into the Smart Lighting App.

Can I control also other Bluetooth Mesh or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) products with the Opple system?

No. At the moment, many manufacturers use different own versions of Bluetooth Mesh or Bluetooth Low Energy. As a result, Wireless Bluetooth systems of different manufacturers will not be able to work together. As a Bluetooth Mesh standard has recently been defined by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), it is expected that this will be possible in the future.

What is the maximum number of Smart Devices that can be in one wireless network?

The recommended maximum devices in one Smart Project is 64 devices. Note that both luminaires, switched and sensors are “devices”.

Do I need internet connection to control the lighting?

No, only during setup of the Smart System an active internet connection is required. In case users will be given control of the lighting via the Smart App, an internet connection is also required during the scanning of the QR code from the manager or installer.

Can I combine multiple sensors in one area?

Yes, by adding multiple sensors to an area, you can extend the size of the movement detection area. Multiple sensors in one area will work together: if one Smart Sensor will detect motion, it will turn on all the lights in that area. If both sensors will not see any movement for the selected time (default 15min), only then the lights will be switched off.

How does the Smart Sensor work when the OFF button is pressed?

If the OFF button is pressed, either on the Smart Switch, or on the Opple Smart App, the Smart Sensor is disabled for the coming 8 hrs. After that, the Smart system is back to “normal” and the Smart Sensor will turn on the lights when movement is detected.

What is the maximum distance between the Smart Products?

Opple recommends not to have more than 10m distance between the Smart devices, to ensure good performance of the system. Next to that, the recommended maximum of 64 smart devices per Smart Project should not be exceeded. It is possible though to have multiple smart projects in the same building.
