Why does my dimmer flash red when I put it into pairing mode?

When initiating pairing mode, your dimmer should display alternating blue and red flashes. If, instead, it solely flashes red after you've held down both the up and down buttons, this indicates a full memory. This typically means the dimmer has already been paired with the Lightwave app.

In such cases, a clearing or hard reset of the memory is required. It's important to note that this likely means your dimmer has been previously paired, requiring you to follow the specific clearing procedure detailed in the link below. However, we would recommend this clearing step only after the device has been successfully deleted from the Lightwave app.
