How to Create Custom Lighting Scenes in the Giant Home App (Step-by-Step)

Your OIYN Smart Floor Lamp arrived, it's glowing beautifully, and you've tried a few of the preset colors. But the real magic of smart lighting lives one level deeper — in the custom scenes, schedules, and grouping features inside the Giant Home app. Once you know how to use these tools, your lighting will stop being reactive and start being intentional: the right atmosphere, automatically, at exactly the right moment.

This guide walks you through every major feature of the Giant Home app, from first launch to advanced multi-room automation — no technical experience required.

Step 1 — Download and Pair Your Lamp

The Giant Home app is available free on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android). After installing:

1. Create a free account using your email address.
2. Plug in your OIYN lamp and wait for it to enter pairing mode (the lamp will pulse white rapidly).
3. In the app, tap the "+" button in the top-right corner and select your lamp model from the device list.
4. Follow the on-screen Wi-Fi prompts. The app will connect your lamp to your 2.4 GHz home network.

Note: OIYN lamps require a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. If your router broadcasts a combined 2.4/5 GHz signal under one name, temporarily connect your phone to the 2.4 GHz band during setup to avoid pairing failures.

Step 2 — Understanding the Control Dashboard

Once paired, tapping your device opens the main control dashboard. Here's a quick map of what you'll find:

Section	What It Does
Color Wheel	Pick any color from 16 million options. Drag the circle to a hue; adjust brightness with the slider below.
White Tones	Dedicated white channel. Slide between 2700K (warm candlelight) and 6500K (cool daylight).
Scenes	Preset dynamic patterns: Sunrise, Candle, Ocean, Thunderstorm, Party, and more.
Music	Activates microphone-based Music Sync. The lamp reacts to ambient sound in real time.
Schedule	Set the lamp to turn on/off or switch scenes at specific times, automatically.

Step 3 — Build Your First Custom Scene

Presets are great, but custom scenes let you encode your exact preferences into a single tap. Here's how to build one:

1. From the dashboard, tap Scenes, then scroll to the bottom and tap "Create Scene" (or the pencil/edit icon, depending on your app version).
2. Give your scene a name — something descriptive like "Movie Night", "Deep Work", or "Sunday Morning."
3. Choose a color palette: pick 2–5 colors that should appear in the scene. Tap each color slot and use the color wheel to set it.
4. Set the transition speed: slow transitions feel calm and meditative; fast transitions create energy and excitement.
5. Choose a pattern: Gradient, Strobe, Jump (instant color switches), or Breathing (fade in and out).
6. Tap Save. Your custom scene now appears in your personal scene library for one-tap access.

Three Starter Scenes Worth Building Today

• Movie Night: Colors — deep red (#8B0000) + dark indigo (#1a0033). Speed — Slow. Pattern — Gradient. Place your Floor Lamp Pro behind the sofa at 15% brightness to eliminate eye strain without distracting from the screen.
• Deep Work: Colors — cool white (6000K) only. Brightness — 70%. Pattern — Static. This mimics natural overcast daylight, which research links to improved focus and reduced fatigue.
• Wind Down: Colors — warm amber (#FF6B00) + soft peach (#FFAA80). Speed — Very slow. Pattern — Breathing. Activate 60–90 minutes before bed to signal your body that it's time to rest.

Step 4 — Set Up Automated Schedules

Schedules turn your lamp into a silent personal assistant that manages your home's atmosphere while you focus on your day.

1. From the device dashboard, tap Schedule, then "Add Schedule."
2. Set the time and choose which days of the week it should repeat.
3. Select the action: Turn On (with a specific color/scene), Turn Off, or Activate a preset scene.
4. Save. The schedule runs automatically — even if your phone is off or away from home.

Recommended Weekly Schedule

Time	Scene	Why It Works
7:00 AM	Sunrise (warm → cool white)	Eases you out of sleep naturally
9:00 AM	Deep Work (cool white, 70%)	Maximises daytime focus
6:00 PM	Sunset (warm amber gradient)	Signals the transition to evening mode
9:30 PM	Wind Down (breathing peach/amber)	Prepares mind and body for sleep
11:00 PM	Turn Off	No manual switching needed

Step 5 — Group Multiple Lamps for Room-Wide Control

If you own more than one OIYN product — for example, a Floor Lamp in the corner and an OIYN Table Lamp on your desk — Groups let you control them as one unified system:

1. On the app home screen, tap "Rooms" or "Groups" (label varies by version).
2. Tap "Create Group" and give it a name (e.g., "Living Room").
3. Select all the devices you want in the group and save.
4. Now any scene, schedule, or Music Sync mode you apply to the group affects all lamps simultaneously.

This is the foundation of true ambient lighting: coordinated light from multiple sources that creates depth and dimension no single lamp can achieve alone.

Step 6 — Voice Control with Alexa and Google Home

Once your lamps are set up in the Giant Home app, linking to voice assistants takes about two minutes:

• Alexa: Open the Alexa app → Skills & Games → search "Giant Home" → Enable Skill → Link your account.
• Google Home: Open Google Home → Add → Set up device → Works with Google → search "Giant Home" → Sign in.

After linking, commands like "Hey Google, set the living room to Movie Night" or "Alexa, dim the floor lamp to 30%" work instantly.
