Embrava Blynclight Installation Guide

Installing an Embrava Blynclight is a two-part process involving a physical connection and the installation of the control software. Follow these steps to get your device operational.

1. Physical Hardware Installation

The Blynclight is a plug-and-play USB device designed for immediate recognition by modern operating systems.

1. Unpack the device: Ensure you have the Blynclight unit and the included Micro-USB to USB-A cable.
2. Connect to PC: Plug the Micro-USB end into the back of the Blynclight and the USB-A end into an available port on your computer.

2. Software Installation (Embrava Connect)

While the hardware is plug-and-play, the Embrava Connect utility is required to manage the light's status and allow third-party applications to interface with it.

• Download: Visit the Embrava Software Page and download the installer for Windows.
• Install: Run the downloaded .exe file. Follow the installation wizard prompts, accept the license agreement, and complete the setup.
• Launch: Once installed, look for the lowercase "e" icon in your Windows System Tray (located near the clock).

3. Configuration & Functional Testing

Before integrating with other platforms, verify the light is responding to manual commands:

1. Right-click the "e" icon in the system tray and select Open Embrava Connect.
2. Navigate to the Manual or Devices tab.
3. Select a color (e.g., Red, Green, or Blue) from the interface. The Blynclight should illuminate immediately.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Device Not Found: Try a different USB port or a different USB cable if the light fails to illuminate during testing.
• Software Permissions: Ensure that Embrava Connect is allowed to run at startup so that it is always available for background notifications.
• Hidden Icons: If the software icon is missing, click the "up arrow" in your taskbar to reveal hidden system tray applications.
