Guide · several walls

A LaserWall fleet on one network

Several walls, one phone, one shared Wi-Fi network — a router or their own mesh. The basics (installation, colors, audio) live in the one-wall guide.

01Safety

A line, not a dot

An optical scheme engineered by TeslaCoilPro fans every beam into a 60–110° line. Power is spread along its whole length, so beyond ~4 metres from the aperture a wall is eye-safe. With a fleet the rule is the same — but there are several zones.

  • Every wall's line is even; a bright dot means damaged optics — that module goes to service.
  • Never open the optics; keep concave and focusing surfaces out of every beam.
  • Never aim at roads or aircraft.

02Installation

Mount all the modules

  1. 01

    Mount and aim each wall

    Same as the one-wall guide: solid mounting, no cable tension, near zones out of reach.

  2. 02

    Label everything

    Name the modules and cables — with three or more walls this saves your evening.

  3. 03

    First light one at a time

    Power and check the walls one by one, standing beside the aperture (a brief blue flash is possible on cold start).

03Mode

Multiple devices = Wi-Fi

One wall is driven over Bluetooth; a fleet only over Wi-Fi: all walls and the phone on one network.

ModeForLink
“Single device”One wall nearbyDirect Bluetooth
“Multiple devices”A fleet on one networkWi-Fi: a router or the field mesh

The mode is chosen at first launch or in Settings → “Operation mode”. This guide needs “Multiple devices”.

04Adding

Add every wall to the network

The Add Device wizard, step 1 of 3: Bluetooth scan.
The wizard: Bluetooth scan → Wi-Fi credentials → wall on the network.
  1. 01

    Devices → “Add Device”

    The wizard finds the powered wall over Bluetooth — pick it.

  2. 02

    Enter “WiFi Network (SSID)” and “Password”

    Tap “Connect to WiFi”. The wall stores the credentials and reboots into the network.

  3. 03

    Wait for it to appear

    Up to 90 seconds. A timeout does not erase the credentials: check the network and let the wall retry.

  4. 04

    Repeat for every wall

    Added walls show up as cards on the Devices tab.

05Fleet

Device cards

Devices tab: wall cards with signal levels and the field-network banner.
The checkbox on a card decides whether the wall takes group commands.
  • The checkbox on the left — the wall receives group commands. Untick to exclude it temporarily.
  • “Rename” — name walls by position (“Left”, “Backdrop”): everything gets easier.
  • “Phase” — shifts one wall's effect; use deliberately, for running patterns.
  • “Forget Wi-Fi” — wipes the wall's network and returns it to Bluetooth setup. “Remove” — deletes the card from the app.
  • “Clear N offline” — sweep long-gone walls. The “hub” badge marks the field-network node; it has no signal level.

06Control

One command — all walls

Colors and Audio work exactly as in the one-wall guide, but every ticked wall receives the commands at once. Effects run in sync — the fleet shares one phase until you set offsets yourself. “Save to device” writes the look into every ticked wall.

07Field mesh

A network without a router

In the field the walls raise their own open Wi-Fi network, LW-MESH, and keep working together.

  1. 01

    Allow the mesh

    Settings → “Mesh network (field mode)”. Walls will fall back to the mesh whenever the router is unreachable.

  2. 02

    Or move the fleet now

    “Move fleet to field mesh now” — every reachable wall reboots into the field network.

  3. 03

    Join with the phone

    The Devices tab shows a “Field network found” banner with a “Join mesh” button. The phone must be on the LW-MESH network — otherwise there is no control.

08Firmware

Updating the fleet

Updates go over Wi-Fi from each wall's card (“Firmware” → the update button). Update one wall at a time and don't cut power. USB recovery is a service measure: it wipes the network, mesh and name — the wall needs setting up again.

09Troubleshooting

If it doesn't work

SymptomWhat to do
All walls offlineThe phone is on the wrong Wi-Fi. Put it back on the fleet's network (router or LW-MESH).
Visible but “offline”A VPN on the phone. Turn it off or exclude the app from the tunnel.
Wall missing after addingWait up to 90 seconds; check SSID, password and signal; rerun the wizard.
Some walls don't reactCheck the card checkboxes and the weak walls' signal levels.
The mesh “vanished”Walls reassemble the network after a reboot. Wait for the banner and rejoin with the phone.

10Before the show

Checklist

  • Every wall's near zone is out of the audience's reach.
  • The phone is on the fleet's network; every needed wall has a card and a tick.
  • “Static” verified on all walls at once.
  • The group effect or audio rehearsed at show volume.
  • After the show: “Stop” in Audio, output killed, power off.
