Hi there! I'd be happy to help you with the custom settings in the Monster Smart Lighting app. To better assist you, could you tell me what specific custom settings you'd like to adjust or create? For example, are you looking to set custom colors, lighting effects, schedules, or something else?

Once I know more about your goal, I can guide you step-by-step through the process.

right now I can't set anything and I am not sure if it is that i dont know how to use it

Thanks for sharing that! So, it sounds like you're trying to use the custom settings in the Monster Smart Lighting app but can’t set anything at the moment. Let’s narrow down what might be blocking you.

To start, can you tell me:
- Are your Monster Smart Lights already paired and connected in the app?
- Is the app showing your light device as online or connected?
- Have you tried to press and hold the pairing button on the light so the LED blinks slowly? This is often required to enter control mode.
- Also, are you connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network? The lights usually require that band for proper control.

If you haven’t tried these yet, here’s a quick step-by-step to ensure connectivity first:

1. Locate the pairing button on your Monster Smart Lighting device and press-hold it until its indicator LED starts blinking slowly.
2. Open the Monster Smart Lighting app on your Windows device and confirm the device appears in your lights list.
3. Make sure your PC's Wi-Fi or network connection is stable—especially on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi since some smart devices don't support 5 GHz.
4. Once connected, try accessing the custom settings again. You should be able to set colors, brightness, schedules, etc.

If the light doesn’t appear or set controls still can’t be changed, resetting the device and re-pairing might help. (You can reset according to your light’s user manual—usually holding the button longer works.)

Let me know which steps you've tried so far, and if you see any error messages or unusual behavior in the app. That way I can help you further!

the lights work, diy, dynamic and static all function, but i dont seem to be able to do anything with the custom setting

Thanks for the extra info! Since you mentioned the lights work fine in DIY, Dynamic, and Static modes but you can’t actually set or customize anything within the DIY or custom setting, it sounds like either the app isn't fully connecting to the lights to allow edits, or the custom editing features might require additional steps.

Here’s what I recommend trying next, step-by-step:

1. Ensure Proper Wi-Fi Pairing:
Custom edits in the Monster Smart Lighting app typically require that your light is paired via Wi-Fi, not just Bluetooth or basic remote control. Double-check your light is connected through Wi-Fi in the app. This is crucial to unlock full customization options like the DIY mode editing10.

2. Accessing DIY Custom Edit Mode:
In the app, select your light device, then navigate to the DIY mode. Usually, there should be an option or an "edit" button that lets you modify individual colors, speeds, or patterns within the DIY profile. If that button doesn’t appear, it might be because the Wi-Fi pairing isn't established correctly1.

3. Try Resetting and Re-pairing the Lights:
If you are connected but customization is still blocked, try a full reset of the light (press and hold the reset button according to your manual). Then re-pair them over Wi-Fi again via the app. Resetting sometimes clears glitches preventing full control3.

4. Check for App Updates:
Make sure the Monster Smart Lighting app you are using is up to date on your Windows device. Outdated app versions can lack full features or have bugs affecting custom settings4.

5. Reinstall the App:
Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling the app can reset permission and linkage issues, enabling full DIY functionality.

6. If Using a Remote:
If you're controlling the light primarily via a remote, note that custom DIY editing is often only available through the app—not the remote control8.

If you want, you can walk me through what you see on your app when you try to access the custom/DIY settings, and I can help point out where things might be missing or unresponsive.

Are you ready to try these next steps? Or do you have info about your current app connection and setup that might help me pinpoint it further?
