Pearlexa Orbit Setup Guide: Connect Your Smart Bulb

Before you start

• Confirm the fitting and supply match the Orbit model's published ratings.
• Have your Pearlexa account credentials available.
• Know the Wi-Fi network name and password.
• Keep Bluetooth and Wi-Fi available on the phone during setup if the app requests them.
• Keep the bulb powered continuously while provisioning is in progress.

Why Pearlexa does not publish the provisioning protocol

Customer setup instructions are public, but the underlying authentication exchange, device identity implementation, cryptographic material and proprietary provisioning protocol are not. Those details are part of Pearlexa's security and engineering intellectual property.

This separation is intentional: customers should have clear setup instructions without exposing implementation details that do not help normal use and could weaken product security if handled carelessly.

If setup does not complete

Do not repeatedly power-cycle the bulb without checking the app message first. Most setup problems are easier to solve when you identify whether the failure occurred during device discovery, Wi-Fi connection, internet access or account registration.

• Re-check the Wi-Fi password.
• Make sure the selected network provides 2.4GHz Wi-Fi coverage at the bulb location.
• Temporarily move the bulb closer to the router for testing if signal quality is uncertain.
• Disable unusual client isolation or captive-portal requirements for the IoT network if they prevent normal internet access.
• Use Pearlexa Care if the app displays a persistent support error code.
