Grid Connect tips, tricks and help

[CSParnell]

Hi all,

I thought it may he good to have a feed where we could share any tips and tricks to do with any of the Grid Connect Range being Arlec, Deta, Verve, Orion.

I am learning from trial and error and really just accident so sharing with others and sharing back we may be able to create some good learning information for us all.

Please post below starting with what the trick is as the title then how to do so as the body of information.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Marie02. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about the Grid-connect app.
 

Changing the password on the Grid Connect app will usually sign you out and can cause your rooms and devices to disappear from the home screen. Unfortunately, if the rooms have dissapeared I don't believe there is a way to simply “find” the old rooms and add them back.

The good news is that you generally won’t need to re-pair each light globe to Wi-Fi. In most cases, once you’re logged back into the app, the devices will still be there, but you’ll need to recreate your rooms and then assign each light back to the correct room. If the lights aren’t showing up at all, then a reset and re-pair of the globes may be required, but that’s usually a last resort.

I’d suggest first checking the device list in the app, then creating your rooms again and moving the lights into them. If you run into issues, Grid Connect support can also help confirm whether a full reset is needed for your specific setup.

Let me mention @CSParnell and @GreenHouse to see if they have any thoughts.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
