If anyone is still having trouble connecting your led strips the way I solve my problem is by getting closer to my WiFi router and using a different mobile device but you guys may not have to use a different phone just mainly try getting closer to your router with no walls then after that you should be connected and can unplug the lights and put them in your room
Once it comes to the pairing part it doesn’t work the time just runs out and instead of being able to hold down the button for 5 seconds I have to hold it down for 9
It seems to me that somewhere inside your cable, the ribbon strip that holds the lights is kinked and has come apart. I had that happen to me and it rendered it useless.
How long have you had it? I’ve heard of a few people here getting a bad one. I would that you did too. I have the same 4 and they are still working well. Maybe take it back and get another?
If you have 5GHz then you have 2.4 embedded or else……found this for ya. hardwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/11993/single-band-5ghz-only-wifi-router Having no 2.4Ghz radio would break backwards compatibility with b/g/n WiFi. Any router that has only a 5Ghz radio in it cannot receive a WiFi Certification! (Then it's not a "WiFi" device at all!) That's basically shooting yourself in the foot for compatibility with most WiFi devices. Of course you can usually disable the 2.4 Ghz radio in a router that has one...
These lights are garbage I have 3 of them, and I’ve read everything and tried everything even resetting and unplugging and nothing works, I even messaged the company and haven’t gotten anything back. Idk what to do
I have a problem with the color,I only can choose red and green and if I change the colors in my phone it only puts red or green but in a lighter tone.
Mine only light up green 1 bar closest to the plug, I can get the whole strip to light up sometimes but it goes back to green light, App won't connect. Any suggestions?
You could have a faulty item but try one more thing. Hold the reset button for ten secs and then unplug them from the wall. Do this three times and then try the set up from the beginning.
Have you tried resetting them by holding button down for 10 secs, then unplugged 10 secs , and repeat this three times. Then try again. Hope that helps. I had to do this
If the signal of the router it’s not 2.4 you need to go to your router page and create a 2.4 with a new name and then use that one with the monster led, too much trouble , it would be easier if they just give us a freakin control
Cool video. I was gifted the monster kit that comes with two bulbs and two 8' strips (rf remote controlled). I was interested in getting some longer strips for my sound panels, crown molding, and base boards. When i saw you using the app and cutting them to size i was sold. Thanks and sorry all your comments are ppl bugging you with the same questions repeatedly 😅😁
Lol. That’s part of the game brother. I try to help and sometimes Hope others will jump in but all-in-all, I’ve not had many problems with them to date and hope you have the same luck.
Can you connect two together, like i thought 16.4 ft would be enough but it wasn’t so can i get another one and connect it together instead of plugging it into a different outlet?
@@CristalGonzalez16 normally this isn't the best thing to do as the leds draw power from the power supply which has a limit to the power it outputs. For example: if the leds in the strip pull 1 watt each. And there are 20 leds, it's pulling 20 watts. If the power brick says output is 5v 5a then it's output is 25 watts (volts x amps = watts). We then assume the wifi and other electronics pull less than 5 watts. So linking another strip of 20 leds would then pull over 40 watts, which could lead to dimmer lights or other unknown issues.
So your phone is connected to the 2.4 signal in your router? You can try doing the monster factory reset they use for all their strips on their website and try again. I hate there are some having issues.
Good evening brother. They are left over spacers that come with larger TV mounts. I get in trouble with the wife for saving everything until I find a need lol.
I just used long nails at the top that stick out far and propped the edge of the panel on them and then used the spacers at the bottom just to maintain the gap.
If youre talking about soldering two strips together one one controller. The documentation doesnt recommend that because it can only provide a certain amount of power.

for some odd reason i recently moved my led strips from my grandmothers house to my house and it won’t connect back to my phone i don’t know the problem every since i moved it dont connect anynire
I am having this issue myself. I bought 4 of these. The initial LED strip connected just fine. But when I tried adding the 2nd LED strip, I had no go. I made sure to only have 2.4Ghz network enabled on my phone, but this did not work either. AP mode doesn't work either. EZ mode looks like it works when the LED strip stops blinking after 5-10 seconds in adding, but there is no confirmation of it being added... so I am convinced its either my router being funky or the LED strips are just faulty.

This version doesn’t support Bluetooth. At least not without extra hardware and a Wi-Fi router connection. I do know they have those sorts of things at many auto parts stores. If there’s any fancy wiring, that’s beyond me.
For everyone that can’t connect!!!! Put your phone in airplane mode with only the WiFi on and put the led lights in pairing mode (fast blinking) go outside with only your phone while it’s in pairing mode and go as far as you can without disconnecting and your WiFi will have to switch to 2.4 and it’ll upload. 100% works

I agree with you Blader
I agree blader this product is trash. Money down the damn drain
Switch to ap mode
I don’t how to connect the wi-fi 2.4GHz how do I do that
This is just something that your internet router does. Typically they are default at 2.4 until you name/activate 5ghz.
I have a problem with the color,I only can choose red and green and if I change the colors in my phone it only puts red or green but in a lighter tone.
Like some others here, you might have unfortunately have a bad set.
It doesn’t say the strip like what you’re using it just says other things so it doesn’t give me the option for my device. What do I click?

Whichever Wi-Fi network you have available in your home when setting up through your phone. Just make sure your phone is on the 2.4ghz network.

Why do i need 2.4 ghz wifi specifically, why cant it just connect via bluetooth if it shows up
Because not all routers have 5 ghz so it’s more compatible for most and as for Bluetooth, you can find Bluetooth strips. These are great for when controlling them anywhere and not just within the typical Bluetooth range.
Can you extend these?
I haven’t been successful but also don’t recommend it since each strip is regulated with its own power adapter.
