My Wooden Lamp
Instructions on how to use your lamp.
Lamp modes
The lamp offers two modes: the default mode with Wi-Fi + Alexa integration, and a Standalone mode with no Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi + Alexa mode
- When first powered on, the lamp creates an open Wi-Fi hotspot called "Lamp setup".
- Connect to it using your phone and enter your home Wi-Fi details.
- Once verified, the hotspot will disappear and your Wi-Fi settings will be saved.
- The lamp will then connect to your network, and you can control brightness using the knob.
- To link it with Alexa, say “Alexa, discover devices” or use the Alexa app: go to Add Device → Other → Discover devices.
- That's it, your lamp is ready to use!
If the lamp is plugged in but can't connect to Wi-Fi using its saved settings, it will automatically create a new hotspot and enter standby mode to wait for updated credentials. During this time, the knob won't change brightness. If the lamp is currently in "Lamp setup" hotspot mode, you must switch it to Standalone using the During power-up method (unplug it, then hold the knob while plugging it back in).
Standalone mode
- This mode remains disconnected from any Wi-Fi networks or hotspot creation.
- It's simply the standard lamp mode.
- The brightness knob is immediately functional.
Mode, Wi-Fi reset, factory reset
How it works: press and hold the knob. After ~5 seconds the bulb starts flickering once per second. Release within the time window below.
Note: if the lamp is in "Lamp setup" hotspot mode, use the During power-up method below to change mode.

Settings
- Name: modifies the device's visible name for Alexa.

- Encoder inverted: when enabled, turning the brightness knob clockwise will decrease brightness.
- Encoder sensitivity: alters the knob's responsiveness; higher values result in faster brightness adjustments.
