Every Color. Every Holiday. Every Job — Commissioned in Seconds. The BlueHopper Installer app is the professional commissioning and management platform built for installers of BlueHopper's permanent outdoor lighting. Whether you're wiring up a single-family rooftop or managing a 50-zone commercial or municipal rollout, this app turns hours of setup into minutes — and hands your client a fully configured, scene-ready system the moment you leave the job site. For Residential Installs Provision permanent roofline lighting, fence lighting, landscape lighting, and pool cage lighting in seconds with auto-discovery. Configure permanent Christmas lights and permanent holiday lighting presets before you ever leave the driveway, so your client's first impression is a perfect one. For Commercial & Municipal Projects Manage multi-zone, multi-location lighting installs from one dashboard. Group fixtures into virtual groups across buildings, parking structures, or entire city blocks, and apply brand-consistent scenes and schedules across every site — without driving to each one. Everything You Need to Commission, Configure, and Close — In One App 43% Faster Commissioning Provision each node in under 5 seconds. Less time on a ladder, more installs per day, better margins on every job. One-Touch Setup Auto-discovery syncs every fixture instantly — no manual pairing, no guesswork. Professional Handoff, Every Time Deliver a fully configured, scene-ready system to your client the moment the install is complete. Zero complicated client training, zero callbacks for "how do I change the color." Remote Diagnostics & Support Monitor any live installation remotely. Diagnose issues, push firmware updates, and adjust configurations without ever returning to the site. Lighting Blueprint Upload a photo of your client's property and apply any color, scene, or holiday preset directly onto the image in real time — so they see their own roofline in Christmas red and green, their own facade in warm white, before a single fixture goes up. Close the job before you climb the ladder. Virtual Groups Bring multiple zones or properties together into one virtual group for unified scheduling and control — built for large-scale commercial and municipal installations. Effects & Presets Hundreds of built-in lighting effects — fades, chases, sparkle, and synchronized holiday animations — ready to configure across a client's full permanent outdoor lighting system in seconds. RGBW Sliders & White Tuning Dial in 16 million+ colors and precise white-temperature tuning during commissioning, so every install ships exactly the way your client pictured it.
