01 / Start with the right guide

Match your equipment

Use this guide only on a Clyr controller with the supported built-in ring/backlight. It does not add an external lamp to a controller that lacks the hardware.

How the parts work together. This is a system overview, not a terminal wiring diagram.

02 / Get ready

Before you start

  • Confirm the correct controller is online and has the backlight hardware.
  • Check whether a Backlight item already exists before adding another.

03 / One step at a time

Set it up

  1. Open the backlight setup

    In Settings β†’ Devices, choose the controller, then select its Backlight item. If it has not been configured, add the supported Backlight equipment entry.

  2. Choose and save a preset

    Select the desired preset in the preview and save. This form uses a preset selector rather than the AUX and Delay fields used by external relay lights.

  3. Check the physical controller

    Observe the built-in light. Confirm the intended controller changes and pool lights remain unaffected. If the expected option is absent, confirm hardware and firmware support with Clyr.

04 / Prove the result

Check it works

A saved setting tells you what you requested. These checks tell you what the equipment actually did.

  • The selected controller’s built-in light displays the requested preset.
  • No external light, pump or relay changes state.

05 / Find the next useful check

If something is wrong

The backlight option or hardware is missing

Confirm the controller model and software support. Do not create a relay light or connect a lamp to an unused port to imitate the built-in feature.

06 / Save for later

Keep these handy

Product instructions

Use the manual supplied with your exact equipment and controller revision. If the connectors, labels or app choices differ, stop and contact Clyr with a photo of the model label and the screen you are on.
