Device Setup Linking the sockets to the App / controllers NOTE: This procedure applies to the LightwaveRF Smartphone and Web App and all LightwaveRF controllers (e.g. Handheld Remote or Mood Controller). LightwaveRF sockets each have 6 unique memory slots which means they can link with up to 6 LightwaveRF controllers in total.
Page 11
Device Setup NOTE: Linking mode lasts for 12 seconds; if no signal is received from a controller during this time then the socket will automatically exit linking mode without linking the device. If, when expecting a quick flashing blue LED to confirm pairing, a slow amber flash is received instead, then the socket memory is FULL and no further remotes may be linked with it unless one of the existing remotes is unpaired first (see below).
