Phyn Plus (2nd Generation)

Setting up your Phyn Plus (2nd Generation) is a guided process. You’ll install the Phyn app, create an account, pair your device to Wi-Fi, configure your home, and enable notifications.


Before you begin: Make sure the device is in pairing mode

To start setup, your Phyn Plus must be in pairing mode.

  • Press the blue Action button once

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

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

  1. Make sure the unit is powered on.

  2. Locate the blue Action button on the top of the device (on the side if installed horizontally).

  3. Press the button three times, then press and hold it for 5 seconds, then release.

  4. While holding the button, you’ll see a downward “elevator” pattern on the LED display. Release when it reaches the bottom.

After the reset, the device will automatically return to pairing mode and show the “Searching” LED pattern.
