## What is BronControl?

The bronControl app enables you to conveniently control several broncolor Siros WiFi, Scoro WiFi and LED F160 devices.

All the basic functions of broncolor’s Siros, Siros L, LED F160 and most functions of Scoro can be operated using the free bronControl app. 

By using the Private mode or the Enterprise mode, equipment that is difficult to access, or far away, can be conveniently and easily set and controlled. 

In Private mode, the Siros S, Siros L, Scoro and LED F160 can actually set up their own network. In that configuration, the LEDF160 accepts a maximum of four clients. The application controls the functions with clarity and full individual control, e.g. several units can be united into groups, and flash sequences synchronised. 

In order to reduce the already short charging and waiting times even further, several devices can be alternately triggered.

The FreeMask function makes it possible to establish perfect masks for cropping motifs in a simple and fast way.

To operate the upgraded version of the bronControl App, the newest Firmware version is required:
- Siros 400 / 800: 11
- Siros 400 S / 800 S: 11
- Siros 400 L / 800 L: 6
- LEDF160            : LD 1.5 / UI 1.5
- Scoro : 13

Upgrade software can be downloaded from the broncolor website:

### 1/5 — Приложение теряет связь

*2025-02-27, version 4.0*

Приложение теряет связь с источниками света после блокировки экрана телефона, нужно выйти из приложения и заново соединится. Это недоработка ПО

### 1/5 — Nearly useless

*2024-09-03*

In both the iOS and Mac versions, if the Sirios S units are powered up or turned off the application does scan often enough to know what is on or off. No ability in the software to manually tell it to rescan for light heads. The Mac version throws the unrecognized developer warning. The broncolor RFS triggers are more useful, but you need to use too few buttons to control so many settings with frustrating repeated tap and holds. Uuhhgg!

### 1/5 — Disconnect all the time. Bad UI

*2021-12-18*

When moving into landscape mode, the app has right part of screen empty , while you need to scroll up down and left right, on the menu items on the left side. Freemask/alternate seems only have one role for each strobe, and cannot do 1&2,1,2, and repeat that sequence. Getting things I want with this app requires many clicks which makes go to each light to adjust on the light themselves more intuitive and efficient. Sony and Broncolor won the worst ui design of the century

### 1/5 — simply doesn't work

*2021-11-19*

the iOS version lost connection after each minute, the MAC version simply won't show anything in its interface.

### 1/5 — App Keeps Losing Connection

*2021-10-12*

I just recently had to purchase a new iPhone and when I had to download the BronControl app again, this is when I began to experience problems with the app consistently dropping connection to the assigned studio….and it won’t reconnect until I delete the app and download it again from the AppStore.  Something has to be done about this!!  I’ve gotten no information regarding a new firmware update. What’s going on??

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-04-29*

Works flawlessly and really speeds up work flow!!!

### 1/5 — Buggy - Zero support

*2021-03-15*

Operating manual has NO troubleshooting page, I am serious!

Now it seems that I am going to have to deal with Mac Group 😩I guess they bought BRONCOLOR or Bron gave up on troubleshooting...

So the Mac Group is made of a bunch of incompetent tech support, dealing with lots of companies and all their products, so probably well over 100,000.00 products maybe much more so you can imagine a small group of frustrated people unnumbered and unqualified - Can someone give me a rope please...

### 1/5 — No Support, Buggy

*2020-02-03*

Most up-to-date version complains, asking to be updated to "real version" of the app—uhhh, ok? The app also says to update my Siros for full functionality — but their firmware is current as well. Displays wrong lamp numbers, applies settings to wrong lamps. App hasnt been updated in 3 years. Would be GREAT for control, but doesnt work as intended, so it's quicker to make adjustments by hand in studio. PLEASE update. (Ill revisit the rating then.)

### 1/5 — It's simply not working, what a shame, Broncolor

*2020-01-21, version 2.3*

!

### 1/5 — Don’t upgrade to 2.3

*2017-12-04, version 2.3*

When the iPhone screen going to auto lock, need close the app and then open again to reconnect the Siros. Please fix the problem.
