Prepare for Handover (Advanced)​

This advanced feature performs a soft reset on your device, preparing it for use with another Bluetooth® Mesh compatible app. The device keeps essential settings like meshbox port configurations, making it compatible with other lighting control apps that may not support full device reconfiguration.

When to use Prepare for Handover:

  • Switching to a different lighting control app while keeping basic functionality
  • Integrating devices with third-party Bluetooth® Mesh systems
  • Transferring device control to another management platform

What happens during handover:

  • Device is removed from your Connect Mesh network
  • Core device settings (like meshbox configurations) are preserved
  • Device becomes available for pairing with other compatible apps
  • You lose control of the device in the Connect Mesh app

To regain control:

  • The device must be re-added to your Connect Mesh network through the normal setup process
warning

Only use this feature if you're certain you want to transfer control of the device to another system. This action cannot be easily undone.
