📲 Why won’t the app connect to my lights or show the editor tabs?

If the ZLED Bit Editor app fails to connect or doesn’t show the editor tabs, it’s usually due to one of the following issues:


Checklist to Resolve the Issue:

  1. Ensure Lights Are Powered On

    • The lights must be on (running lights active) for the Bluetooth module to power up and broadcast.

  2. App Permissions

    • Make sure the app has all permissions enabled — especially Bluetooth and Location. Without these, the scan and connection process will fail (Android 10+ requires location access to scan Bluetooth).

  3. First-Time Pairing

    • On first launch, the app will scan for nearby devices. Look for a device named ZLEDSxxxx.

    • Tap the name to connect. If nothing appears, turn your lights off for 5 seconds and back on, then restart the app.

  4. Set Your Access ID

    • After connecting, open the menu and set your Access ID (PIN). This is required to unlock the editor tabs.

    • If you skip this step, tabs will remain hidden.

  5. No Tabs Showing After Setup?

    • Fully close the app and power cycle the lights.

    • Open the app again; it should auto-connect and unlock the tabs.

  6. Firmware Compatibility

    • Ensure your controller has firmware 1.60 or above for best compatibility with recent app versions.


💡 If all else fails:

  • Try using another phone/tablet to rule out device-specific Bluetooth or permission issues.

  • Contact us with your controller version and app behavior for direct help.
