Tap in the search box at the top of the screen.
Search for "wiz" and tap on the found app.
Tap Install and then Open to use it.
5. First Launch
On the first launch you'll have to choose how you want to sign in:
Create a home - By default, the app creates an anonymous account for you in the Cloud (internet) that is linked to your mobile device. This allows you to control your lights from anywhere as long as you are connected to the internet (over Wi-Fi or Cellular Data) but your settings are only preserved within the current installation of the app.
Join a home - You can join an existing WiZ home as a guest if you receive an invitation from the owner of that home. This allows you control the lights locally only while connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Log inwith a WiZ account - You can create a WiZ account by signing in with an existing Google, Facebook or iCloud (iOS only) account. This allows you to control your lights in the same way as with an anonymous account but also synchronize your settings on multiple mobile devices and invite others to control your lights as guests.
If you choose to create a home or are logging in with a WiZ account for the first time, you will be prompted to input a name for your WiZ home in the middle of the screen. Tap Save in the top right corner to proceed.
6. Connect Wi-Fi

From the main screen of your Android device, tap on the Apps button.
Then look for and tap on Settings.
Go to Wi-Fi.
Make sure the Wi-Fi feature is enabled by flipping the On / Off switch to the On position then wait for the network list to populate and tap on the Wi-Fi network that you want to connect to.
Your Android device will automatically connect to the network if there is no security enabled, or you have connected to it in the past. The Wi-Fi network name will show Connected underneath and the Wi-Fi symbol will fill up in the top right corner of the screen.
If the Wi-Fi network requires a password, then you will see a small padlock next to the Wi-Fi symbol, which also means the connection is secure. Tapping on a secured Wi-Fi networks name will prompt you to enter the password. Passwords are always case sensitive. Type it in using the on screen keyboard then tap Connect.
If the Wi-Fi network you are trying to connect to is hidden, then tap the More option which looks like three dots positioned vertically, on the top right corner of the screen, then tap Add network.
Enter the Wi-Fi networks name using the on screen keyboard and tap Save if no password is required to connect. If a password is needed to connect to the Wi-Fi network then tap on Security and select the security type. Type in the password, then tap Save.
At this point your Android device should be connected to Wi-Fi.
As an alternate way you can also try the following method:
Swipe downwards from the top side of the screen.
Look for the Wi-Fi symbol in the drop down menu and tap on the word below it. If you're not connected to any network, it will say Wi-Fi. If you're already connected to a network, it will show its name.
Make sure the Wi-Fi feature is enabled by flipping the On / Off switch to the On position then wait for the network list to populate and tap on the Wi-Fi network that you want to connect to.
