Hive Active Light – Cool to Warm White Tuneable Smart Bulb (B22 / E27)

You can group your lights for use with Amazon Alexa.

You will need to visit the Hive app:

1. Go to the menu and choose ‘smart home’ and then select ‘Groups’
2. Now select ‘Add Group’ and choose a group type
3. Enter a name for your group, ensure the group name is recognizable for Alexa, Use names with few syllables, give each group a different name
4. Select the bulbs you would like to add to the group then select ‘save’ to finish

If your Hive Light is showing as offline in your Hive app or website dashboard it could be because it’s been switched off manually from the existing light switch on the wall or lamp. Once turned off from the wall or lamp light switch it can’t be controlled remotely until switched back on at the switch. If your wall or lamp light switch is switched to on and you’re still unable to control Hive Light remotely, try restarting your Hive Hub.

Hive Lights come with a dimming feature included which can be controlled using the Hive app or from the Hive website dashboard. Hive doesn’t currently support wall mounted dimmer switches so if you already have a wall mounted dimmer switch we recommend that you keep it undimmed as it could cause your Hive Active Light to buzz or flicker.

You need to visit the Hive app:

1. Select your cool to warm white or colour changing light from the Hive dashboard or device list
2. Ensure the bulb is turned on
3. Ensure it is in the ‘Tone’ mode by clicking ‘Tone’
4. Use the tone slider to select your preferred colour temperature.

To turn on/off the Hive light remotely follow these steps:

1. Visit the Hive app
2. Select your hive light from the dashboard or devices list
3. Click the circle in the centre of the screen to turn your hive light on/off, the status will be shown in the muddle of the circle.
