Nowadays, individuals anticipate more from their holiday lights than mere on/off operation. They seek enhanced control, varied hues, and extensive personalization. They prefer lights that offer a spectrum of colors rather than being limited to one shade. This is where Twinkly shines. The true strength of Twinkly lights is its pioneering Computer Vision technology. The app leverages your device’s camera to pinpoint the precise location of each bulb in your lighting arrangement, be it a small tree or a complex display. Combining this sophisticated mapping capability with the option to project over 16 million colors, Twinkly lights can bring even the most extravagant design concepts to life.

Configuring the Twinkly App is remarkably simple. Once done, you can harness the exceptional capabilities of Twinkly to personalize your Christmas light setup entirely.

Twinkly offers a user-friendly Home version and a Pro edition that caters to the most rigorous commercial holiday lighting needs. Below, we will detail how to configure Twinkly Home Christmas lights on your smartphone or tablet.

Step 1: Download the Twinkly app from your app store

Step 2: Ensure your device is connected to your home or office WiFi network

Step 3: Launch the Twinkly App. It will start searching for your Twinkly device, but it won’t locate it by itself. When the screen displays “Choose your Twinkly!”, proceed to the next step.

Step 4: Select the device you wish to connect. Typically, this will be the Generation II option.

Step 5: Press and hold the button on the controller until the light turns bluish-green, then release the button. Next, choose Home/Office WiFi.

Step 6: Select your home/office WiFi network name, enter the password, and then tap “Connect”.

Step 7: At this point, you can choose to map the lights, or if you prefer to experiment with the light presets first, select “Skip Setup”. You can map your lights anytime.

Step 8: It’s advisable to check if your firmware is up-to-date. Tap the device button, then the gear icon next to the device name. If an exclamation mark appears next to the firmware, update it by clicking “Update Firmware” at the screen’s bottom.

Step 9: To start mapping, tap the mapping icon and follow the mapping instructions within the app.

Step 10: If the device malfunctions, consider performing a factory reset. To do this, first, unplug your lights. Hold the controller button down and plug the lights back in. Keep holding the button until the light on the controller stops blinking, then release. Once the lights turn back on, they will have returned to the original factory settings.
