Adding an AI Hydra light fixture to your aquarium can enhance the beauty of your aquatic environment and provide your corals and fish with the light they need to thrive. If you’ve purchased an AI Hydra light with a WiFi connection, you’ll need to manually connect it to your network to control it remotely. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to add an AI Hydra light to your WiFi network manually.
1. Ensure the AI Hydra light is plugged in and powered on. Make sure it’s in setup mode by pressing and holding the WiFi button on the light fixture for about 10 seconds until the LED indicator starts flashing rapidly.
2. Next, download the “MyAI” app from the App Store or Google Play Store. This app will allow you to control your AI Hydra light remotely through your smartphone or tablet.
3. Open the app and create an account if you haven’t already done so. Once your account is set up, select the option to add a new light fixture to your account.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions in the app to connect your phone or tablet to the AI Hydra light’s WiFi network. This typically involves going into your device’s WiFi settings and selecting the AI Hydra network from the list of available networks.
5. After connecting to the AI Hydra WiFi network, return to the “MyAI” app and follow the steps to input your home WiFi network’s SSID and password. The app will then attempt to connect the AI Hydra light to your home network.
6. Once the AI Hydra light is successfully connected to your home WiFi network, it will be controllable through the “MyAI” app. You can adjust the light intensity, color spectrum, and create schedules for your aquarium lighting directly from the app.
7. Test the connection by adjusting the light settings through the app and ensuring the changes are reflected on the AI Hydra light.
It’s important to note that setting up the AI Hydra WiFi connection manually may vary slightly depending on the specific model and firmware version of the light fixture. Always refer to the user manual provided by AI for the most accurate and up-to-date instructions.
By manually connecting your AI Hydra light fixture to your WiFi network, you can enjoy the convenience of controlling your aquarium lighting from anywhere. This allows you to provide the perfect lighting conditions for your corals and fish, ultimately contributing to a healthy and vibrant aquatic environment.
