JellyFish Designer Cloud App — Install & Setup

  • Swipe right on a zone to delete it, or press + to add a new zone and name it.
  • New zone opens with default lights 1–50 on Port 1; click the port to change the number of lights (span) for that zone.
  • First and last light of a selected span show the same color; lights between default to white until saved as a zone.
