How to properly manage larger groups of 10 or more devices
Applies to Twinkly Generation I and Generation II devices, Twinkly PRO and Twinkly Plus.
If you want to create and manage a larger group of Twinkly products, of 10 or more generation II devices or more, these pieces of information can be useful for you!
How many devices can I configure on the Twinkly App?
Our Guides suggest that you can configure up to 10 devices through the Twinkly App, but this is just a general guideline. In practice, you can manage many more Twinkly products at the same time.
The main thing to consider is network stability. With a good router and a reliable internet connection, it's quite possible to connect more than 10 devices—often over 20.
In scenarios where your network is occupied by other devices, such as smartphones, smart TVs, or voice assistants, the signal may experience a degree of instability. This could potentially restrict the number of Twinkly devices that can be configured. Furthermore, the distance from the router and physical obstructions, such as walls and furniture, can adversely affect the quality of the connection. Therefore, there is no definitive limit; with a robust and stable network, it is feasible to configure significantly more than 10 devices without encountering any issues.
Dedicated router
To run properly, the devices in a group need continuous communication between the router and among each other.
This means that a crowded domestic network can’t manage the communication properly, causing issues and slowdowns, and this is why we suggest connecting them to a dedicated router.
So, if you want to install a large number of Twinkly devices, our recommendation is to use a dedicated router.
This tip also applies if your home Wi-Fi network is already very crowded with other connections, or if the router is very far away from the installation: placing a dedicated router closer to your Twinklys will make the performance much better!
Rename your Twinkly
If you have several devices, we suggest renaming each one of them, so that you can easily recognize the one on which you are taking action.
Create an Area Group
If you purchased more than one Twinkly you are probably decorating a wider area.
In this case, switch all the devices off, then switch on and map them each one at a time, then you can group them together in an Area group.
