Initializing Connected LED Lights Using the ActiveCaptain App

Before you can interact with any connected LED lights using the stereo, you must first initialize the lights by providing information about the type of light source supported by the connected LEDs.

  1. If necessary, open the ActiveCaptain® app and connect it to the stereo or wireless router.
  2. In the ActiveCaptain app, select Settings > Lighting.

    A list of connected LED control modules is shown.

  3. Select an LED control module with connected LED lights that you want to initialize and select Lights.

    A list of all available lights is shown. Any light indicated with a yellow circle must be initialized before it's available for use by the system.

  4. Select a connected LED light from the list.
  5. Select Light Types and select the type of LEDs connected:

    • RGB: The connected dimmable LEDs support a full range of colors.

    • RGBW: The connected dimmable LEDs support a full range of colors and high quality white light.

    • CRGBW: The connected dimmable LEDs support a full range of colors and multiple temperature white light.

    • Single Channel: The dimmable LEDs support one dedicated color.

    TIP: You can select Identify to illuminate the selected light to help identify and test the selected LED type.
  6. Repeat this procedure for all connected lights until all of the intended LED lights are initialized.
