​

Functions: Too Dark

• Once the natural light coming through a window in your room isn’t bright enough, the smart controller will automatically turn your lamp on so you can see!
• Choose what light level is too dark for your liking.
• Simply move the top slider right on your blynk app to choose a darker light value for your light to turn on in, or move it left to choose a brighter light value.

• This feature is only present in the active state.

​

Functions: Bedtime and Wake-up Alarm

• Click on the box labeled “WAKE/BED TIME” and input your bedtime in the “STOP” box.
• Set a wake-up time in the blynk app, so that you can be woken up by the sound of a catchy tune and a buzzing notification on your phone. Once it’s your wake-up time, the smart system changes to active mode.
