Wirelessly control your ProMaster LED lights from an iOS smartphone or tablet using the Light Attendant app. Connecting with each light is easily accomplished using Bluetooth TM technology and only takes a few seconds. Once connected, Light Attendant provides a full range of controls for each light via three main modes: - CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) for bi-color control - HSI (Hue Saturation Intensity) for RGB control - EFFECTS for a range of special effects When working with multiple LED lights this app offers two methods for choosing which lights you are controlling. The first method is a traditional use of Groups and Channels. The second method lets you choose a specific light, regardless of its Group or Channel setting. Using the second method, Light Attendant will automatically tailor its options to the specific light you are using (such as color temperature range). You can easily switch back and forth between these two methods anytime you like. While Light Attendant has been designed for intuitive use, help screens are also available within the app, and can be accessed at any time for further instruction. Simply touch the HELP button at the bottom of any screen to receive full instructions regarding the use of that particular screen in the app. Note: This app only works with ProMaster LED lights specifically designated for use with the Light Attendant app. Please see your light's instructions for more details, to ensure it is compatible.
