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


Before you begin: Pairing mode

Your Phyn Plus must be in Pairing Mode.

  • Press the blue Action button once

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

If you don’t see this pattern, perform a factory reset.


Factory reset (if needed)

Only reset the device if pairing fails.

  1. With the device powered on, locate the blue Action button
    (Top of the unit, or side if installed horizontally)

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

  3. The LED will animate and reboot

  4. When complete, the device returns to Pairing Mode automatically

If pairing mode does not appear, repeat the steps.
