Night Light

Setup Guide

1

Unbox & Power On

Plug in via USB-C or the optional power adapter. The LED array will light up with the default effect after a few seconds.

2

Connect to WiFi

On first boot, the Night Light creates a WiFi hotspot named flux-night-light-XXXXXX. Connect from your phone or laptop (no password). A captive portal opens automatically — enter your WiFi network name and password.

You can also use Bluetooth provisioning from the ESPHome dashboard or Home Assistant Companion app.
3

Add to Home Assistant

Once connected to WiFi, Home Assistant will auto-discover the Night Light. Go to Settings → Devices & Services and click Configure on the discovered device.

If not auto-discovered, go to ESPHome Dashboard and adopt the device.
4

Choose Effects & Colors

Open the device in Home Assistant. Use the color picker for custom colors, the brightness slider for dimming, and the effect dropdown to choose from 13 built-in effects: Pulse, Random, Strobe, Flicker, Rainbow, Color Wipe, Scan, Twinkle, Random Twinkle, Fireworks, Flicker, Fire, and Flux Logo.

5

Keep It Updated

Firmware updates appear automatically in Home Assistant. When an update is available, click Install on the device's update entity. Updates are over-the-air — no USB needed.

Alternative: Flash WLED

You can flash WLED firmware instead of ESPHome. Set GPIO10 as the LED data pin, 16 LEDs, GRB color order.
