Frequently Asked Questions - KA5MWPLTSPA Kogan

How do I reset the Kogan KA5MWPLTSPA LED strip?

To reset, press and hold the Power button on the Wi-Fi controller for 5 seconds. Alternatively, turn the light on and off at the power switch 10 times to reset to factory defaults.

Can I cut the LED strip to a shorter length?

Yes, you can cut the strip every 10cm along the marked cut lines. However, cutting will void the IP68 water resistance rating. Ensure you cut only at the designated points.

Why is my LED strip not connecting to the Kogan SmarterHome app?

Make sure your phone and the strip are on the same 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Confirm the strip is in pairing mode (light flashing rapidly). If not, reset by long pressing the power button for 5 seconds or cycling power 3 times.

What is the maximum length of the LED strip?

This model (KA5MWPLTSPA) is a 5-meter strip. The series also includes 2-meter (KA2MWPLTSPA) and 10-meter (KA10MWPLTSA) versions.

How do I control the strip with Amazon Alexa?

Enable the 'Kogan SmarterHome' skill in the Alexa app, then sign in with your Kogan SmarterHome account. After linking, you can use voice commands. Note that Alexa controls only basic functions; use the app for full features.

Is the LED strip waterproof?

The LED strip itself is IP68 rated, meaning it is fully waterproof. However, the Wi-Fi controller, power adaptor, and connections are not waterproof. Protect these components from moisture.

How do I change the colour or brightness?

Use the IR remote control to cycle through colours and adjust brightness. In the Kogan SmarterHome app, tap 'Colour' tab for a colour picker and sliders for saturation/brightness, or 'White' tab to adjust colour temperature (3000K-6500K) and brightness.

What should I do if the LED strip is not responding?

First, check power connections. Ensure the arrow on the controller cable aligns with the 12V mark on the strip. If still unresponsive, reset the Wi-Fi controller by holding the power button for 5 seconds. Also check the remote batteries.

Can I use this strip outdoors?

Yes, because the strip itself is IP68 waterproof. However, you must keep the controller and power adaptor indoors or in a dry, protected area. Ensure all connections are sealed.

How do I group multiple Kogan light strips in the app?

In the Kogan SmarterHome app, go to the device settings (edit icon) and select 'Create Group'. Choose the lights you want to group, name the group, and save. You can then control all lights together.
