What is OIO, and how is it different from traditional lightbulbs?

OIO is the first circadian-aligned light technology engineered for human health and performance. Unlike traditional or smart LED bulbs, OIO dynamically adjusts its light spectrum throughout the day to support your natural biology—energizing you during the day and supporting restful sleep at night.

What’s included in my OIO order?

Your order includes OIO Bulb (A19 or BR30 model), OIO Loop, an installation guide and access to our free OIO App available for download on Apple or Android.

How do I install the OIO Bulb?

Simply screw the OIO Bulb into any standard E26 socket.
Once powered on, download OIO App to complete setup and customization.

What is OIO Loop?

OIO Loop is a handheld device that makes the invisible spectral energy around you, visible. OIO Loop acts as a spectral sniffer, making these hidden wavelengths visible.

How does OIO Loop work with OIO Bulb and OIO App?

OIO Loop can show you what spectrum OIO Bulb is emitting based on the settings in OIO App.

Here’s how:

Hold OIO Loop at an angle while directing it at OIO bulb.
Observe the rainbow stretched along the length of the lens.

What will I see when I look at OIO Bulb with OIO Loop?

In the daytime, you should see bright blue close to the green area.
In the evening, there shouldn’t be any blue near the green, but OIO Bulb will show violet after a large gap with the green area.
This violet light can appear more blue than you expect. The placement of the light in the rainbow will show you the approximate wavelength, so a larger gap will tell you this is violet.

How do I pair my OIO Bulb with OIO App?

From the main Light Control screen or the Advanced Settings screen, tap the “+” and follow onscreen instructions.
You will need to scan the QR code on the OIO Bulb or in the installation guide while OIO Bulb is on and assign it to a room within OIO App.

Can I use OIO products without OIO App?

Yes, OIO products support the Matter protocol, and can be brought into any Matter system without OIO App. However, the circadian schedule (Wake-Up, Evening Transition, and Nightlight) will not be adjustable outside of the OIO App. These events will occur at 6:00am, 7:00pm, and Midnight respectively. Lights will not turn on automatically at these times, but they will change spectrum to be appropriate for a typical circadian rhythm.

Does OIO work with Alexa, Apple Home, or Google Home?

Yes! OIO products work with any Matter system, and can be brought into those systems in addition to OIO App.

Where should I install my OIO Bulb for best results?

Light is most impactful to your circadian rhythm immediately after waking up and from three hours before going to sleep and later. Typically, this means lights closer to your bed will be more important to start with. Expanding outward from your bed to other lights used at night, eventually to all lights in your home will yield the best results.
