Go to [Connect] tab to scan and find aniLight device with the name of "aniLight_1", and connect to it. Go to [Control] tab to change settings of the connected aniLight or perform firmware upgrade. * You need to press the Save button to save your changes to the device. * After firmware update, aniLight will restart to the normal operation mode (without BLE).
