Last updated on 26 Jan, 2026

Overview

Setting up your Phyn Plus (1st Generation) on Android takes just a few minutes. You’ll install the Phyn app, create an account, pair your device to Wi-Fi, configure your home, and enable notifications.


Before You Start: Check Pairing Mode

Your Phyn Plus must be in Pairing Mode before setup.

  • Press the blue button once

  • The LED should show a “Searching” pattern (blue lights moving outward from the center)

If you do not see this pattern, perform a hard reset.


Hard Reset the Phyn Plus (if needed)

  1. With the device powered on, locate the blue Action button (top or side).

  2. Press the button 3 times, then hold for 5 seconds, then release.

    • You’ll see a descending light pattern while holding.

  3. The device will restart and display a boot-up animation.

  4. When complete, the LED will show the Searching pattern again.

If not, repeat the steps.


Step 1: Install the Phyn App

  1. Open the Google Play Store.

  2. Search for Phyn.

  3. Tap Install, then Open.


Step 2: Create Your Phyn Account
