Several people have mentioned programming the unit. I can make it change colors manually using the remote, but cannot figure out how to program it.

I have one of these. I see no way to program the lights beyond setting the color from the remote. The remote has buttons for on/off, brighter/dimmer, 16 different colors, flash, strobe, fade, and smooth. I don't know what the flash, strobe, fade, or smooth buttons do. The light can only be controlled by the included infrared remote. There is no other control. One of the settings allows it to fade between different colors automatically. It's not really a stage light, but it does put out colored light.

Programming is thru the remote ony. You can do each light on a color and then thru the functions of FLASH STROBE FADE OR SMOOTH

I had the same problem; the remote doesn't communicate with the frame, and there is evidently no longer customer support for the product. However, I was able to program the frame using the buttons on top. It took a little while, but the frame does everything I want it to do. I hope you can get the frame programmed to do what you want it to do.

I had no problem programing my unit. I found it similar to setting a digital watch. One button steps you through the modes while another button selects the value in that mode. The instructions were a little vague but understandable. I really don't know what to tell you without more details.

I wish I could but I'm as clueless as anyone. I would love to see a "How To Program and Set Up Various Items For Dummies". I buy things and then can't get them to work & it's usually too late to return. Help!!! Susan M.

I have done it in the past. One has to be at the receiver switch box with the remote then follow the programming instructions...two sets of them: one for the switch (receiver) and one set for the remote itself. I did not find it all that easy to get it all understood so I could get the job done quickly. Her are links to the detailed instructions for the remote : http://www.homecontrols.com/homecontrols/products/pdfs/SK-Skylink/SKWR318_Guide.pdf and the receiver We-001:http://www.manualslib.com/manual/154601/Skylink-We-001.html Good luck

First, choose one of the pre-programmed colors that is close to the color you want, and then press the button labelled RGB. The light should respond be briefly altering its color and then shifting back. Next, choose which color you would like to increase or decrease (red, green, or blue) and press the button labeled R, G, or B. Afterward, alter that color by pressing the rightmost key marked with a sunburst to increase that color, and the leftmost sunburst key to decrease that color. It surprised me that the bulb came without adequate instructions, but once I found out how to do it, I began to enjoy it greatly. Have fun!

You should be able to program it yourself. I was able to program mine. It did take two tries though. The instructions indicated that I might have to reset the code sequence by hitting one of the buttons several times (something like 20 times). I ended up having to do that after my first try failed. Once I did that then my second attempt at programming worked just fine.

so far I can only do it with remote. If there is another way I haven't figured it out yet.

It just probably needs to be programmed. The instructions that came with it show you how to do it.

The LCD Display lights up White, Cyan, Magenta, Blue, Yellow, Green and Red. Out of the box the setting is turned off, you simply have to turn it on by holding down the "F" Button until it goes into settings then by clicking the "F" button again go to Remote Setup, using the "aux" & "Remote start" buttons scroll up or down to "Screen Color" and then hit "F" button to select it. Then again using the "aux" & "remote start" buttons, scroll through the colors. To select your desired color hit the "F" button again. Then to get out of the whole settings menu, click the lock button and you should be at the home screen. If you're talking about the smaller remote, it does not light up blue, it lights up orange with each keypress. P. S. I've had this installed for about a month now and I absolutely love it. One thing I figured out it is when you have the temp shown as the remote start info, it does not update automatically. You have the hit "F" once so it says level 1, and then hold it down again for 3 Seconds to show the updated temperature. Also if you go to Level 4 and then hit the "Remote Start" button, it will turn on your defogger. Lastly, the buttons are hard to press being brand new but after a while of using the remote, they become a lot more easier and responsive to lighter touches. Enjoy =)

It's actually not that hard to program once you figure it out. Lots of people recommend the USB cable to program, but I found that harder than just programming in the device itself. Just be sure to delete the channel preset before you try to add one to that slot. It will not overwrite an already used preset.

I am not aware of any trick in programing. I have not had the issue you are describing. Sorry.

Thanks for the info. In case you were able to configure successfully, please do let us knw... Might come in handy, in case the remote falters. I've not had any issues with the remote ever since I started using it... Hope it stays the same... :)

I would recommend going to miklor.com that she the best resource I have found. Manual programming is very hard but it can be done.

We bought it and have had no success in programming it....The instructions can be downloaded online....
