Connect your Controller

Pair the Clyr Controller with the mobile app, activate Bluetooth commissioning, and bring the device online.

Hazard warning: Turn off all electrical breakers before removing covers from pumps, heaters, salt cells, or other equipment. Contact a licensed electrician if you need assistance.

Step 1 – Prepare the app

Make sure you can sign in to the Clyr app on your mobile device and access the property where this controller will be installed. If you still need to finish onboarding, follow the Getting Started guide before continuing.

Step 2 – Confirm controller power

Verify the controller enclosure is connected to low-voltage power and the status LED is illuminated. If it is dark, revisit the power wiring steps to ensure the board receives a steady 12V supply.

Step 3 – Check the status LED

When power is applied correctly, the controller shows a pulsing yellow light. This indicates it is ready to be added inside the app.

Step 4 – Add the controller in the app

With the controller powered, use the Clyr app to pair it over Bluetooth and place it on your Wi-Fi network.

Open the Clyr app, confirm the correct location appears at the top, tap Settings, then choose Devices.

Select Clyr Controller from the add-device modal.

Confirm the LED is still pulsing yellow, then press the middle black button on the controller to enable Bluetooth commissioning. The LED switches to blue while discoverable.

Select the detected controller from the list, choose your Wi-Fi network, and enter the password when prompted.

Step 5 – Verify connectivity

After registration, the LED transitions from yellow to green and then settles on a solid turquoise. That confirms the controller is online and connected to the Clyr Cloud.

Troubleshooting

If the controller does not reach the turquoise LED state, use these tips to diagnose the issue.

My light is still pulsing yellow and then turns red.

The credentials entered during Wi-Fi setup are incorrect or the network is unavailable. Delete the controller in the app, repeat the setup flow, and verify the SSID and password.

My light stays solid green and never turns turquoise.

The controller cannot reach the Clyr Cloud. Power-cycle the unit, confirm outbound SNTP and MQTT traffic is allowed on your network, and contact support@clyrpool.com if the problem persists.

The app shows the controller offline, but I see a turquoise light.

This is normal immediately after commissioning. Give the controller a few minutes to finish syncing its configuration with the cloud.
