hi one hour smart home here and today
we’re going to show you how to set up a
ring bridge that works with ring smart
light bulbs ring smart plugs and ring
lighting devices on the ring app that
also works with ring doorbells and ring
security systems so let’s get started
the first step is to connect the ring
bridge to the ring app so if you haven’t
done so already you’re going to need to
download the ring app set up a user name
and password and open it up
so we’ve done that we created an account
on the ring app and what we’re going to
do is go in the upper left hand corner
on the menu button here and we’re going
to click on set up a device
now we’ve got some different options
here doorbells security cams
mailbox sensors and what we are setting
up is smart lighting so i’m going to
click this one right here
it says where would you like to set up
your ring product and if you don’t
already have a location input you’re
going to need to do that now and i’m
going to click continue
in order to get this set up there is a
qr code on the back so we’re going to
scan that qr code using the camera on
the phone right now
once the qr code is scanned this is the
next screen that pops up it says find a
nice spot for your new ring bridge
choose an area with strong wi-fi such as
the room that holds your router we’ve
got good wi-fi signal where we’re going
to install this so i’m going to click
continue
it says plug in your bridge and wait for
it to power on so you’ve got the power
adapter that comes with the device just
plug that in and you’ve got a little
power port on the front of the device
and then it will power up
we plug the device in and you can see
there’s a blue light on here so i’m
going to click bridge is on
wait for the ring bridge to enter setup
mode when you see a blue light flashing
on your bridge continue to the next step
we’ve got a green light right now so
we’ll wait till we get that blue
it took about a minute for the ring
bridge to go from a flashing yellow
light to a flashing blue light after i
plugged it in so i could just click here
the blue light is flashing however if
you’re having issues with this and it
isn’t flashing blue you’re going to need
to use the setup button over here on the
side and put a paper clip in there and
then hold that down and it’s going to
get it to a blue flashing light
so i’m going to go back here and it says
the blue light is flashing and i’m just
going to move forward with the next step
but if you’re having issues click that
little button there with a paper clip or
something small that you can get in that
hole it says when prompted connect to
the ring wi-fi network i’m going to
click got it
now we select our ring device and it
will start connecting
scanning for available wi-fi networks
here we choose our wi-fi network
now we enter our password the ring
bridge is connecting to our wi-fi
network
the ring bridge connected to our wi-fi
network and was preparing for use now
it’s just updating the firmware so it
takes about 10 minutes don’t unplug your
ring bridge now and we’ll be back as
soon as the 10 minutes is up and the
software is updated
it took about 10 minutes for the ring
bridge to update it says success
your ring bridge is now connected would
you like to set up another ring smart
lighting product so if you want to set
up ring smart lighting like the light
bulb that we’ve got here you’re just
going to click the top option
otherwise you’re all set and your ring
bridge is connected and now you can set
up other ring smart devices like smart
plugs smart lighting or smart landscape
lighting
