I found that the app for controlling my 8 year old sensor spotlights was not kept up to date and no longer works. So I created this app to control those old lights via Bluetooth. The first screen starts a scan which will take you to the second screen which identifies all your Bluetooth devices, your compliant sensor light devices will show up with the name you gave them when you originally set them up. When you click on one of the compliant devices it will take you to the third screen and will read in all the current settings and allow you to change them and then save them back to the light.
