A compatible HDMI device must run through the input slot — integrated TV apps will not sync. To watch Netflix with synced LEDs, play it through an HDMI device like an Xbox or Fire Stick.

Quick fixes, in order:

Turn Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) off on the Xbox or PS5
Turn VRR off on the TV
Turn “Input Signal Plus” off in the TV settings
Turn the TV’s gaming mode off
Turn 4K upscaling off
Cap the TV output at 4K · 60Hz

If these all fail, contact support.

A brand-new Fancy Sync Box is ready to be discovered automatically. You should not need to reset a brand-new box before the first pairing attempt. Start with these checks and reset the box only if it does not appear or an earlier setup attempt failed. Before you start:

  • Make sure the Fancy Sync Box is powered on and the LED strip is firmly connected to the LED STRIP port.
  • Connect your phone to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Your Fancy Sync Box will not pair if your phone is not connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. How Do I Check Whether My Wi-Fi Is 2.4 GHz?
  • On iPhone, switch on Bluetooth and allow Local Network access. On Android, allow Nearby devices/Bluetooth and Location if requested.
  • Keep the phone, router and Fancy Sync Box close together and confirm the current, case-sensitive Wi-Fi password.
01 Add New BoxOpen Fancyleds, sign in, tap the blue +, select Add Device and choose the Fancy Sync Box when it appears. Keep the app open until setup finishes.
02 Retry PairingIf it does not connect, press and hold the Power button on top of the Fancy Sync Box for 5 seconds, release it, then return to + › Add Device.
03 Reset & RetryClose the app completely. Turn off your phone, unplug the Fancy Sync Box, then reconnect it. Turn your phone back on and open the Fancyleds app. Press and hold the Power button on top of the Fancy Sync Box for 10 seconds, then tap + › Add Device again.
04 Try Another DeviceIf needed, repeat setup once from another phone or tablet.

WiFi Indicator Meanings:

Flashing slowly — ready to connect
Flashing rapidly — connecting
Solid — connected

If setup still fails, send support the box model, phone and operating-system version, router model, app version, Virtual ID if available, and a short video of the indicator and Add Device screen. Never send passwords or verification codes.
