How do I hide a device from my Brilliant home?

For all Brilliant manufactured devices:

  • If you have any old Brilliant devices that are no longer active, the deletion of these Brilliant devices and their associated lights/fixtures can be done by following these instructions from the Brilliant Mobile app. 

For all integrated (third party) devices

Advanced Device Settings

  • "Hide" your Device: Use this if you have a device that you want to remove from your home and would like it to never appear again unless requested. 
  • Reset Device Settings: Use this if you want to reset the settings on the device and have it re-appear the next time you attempt to discover it or when Brilliant runs auto-discovery of third-party devices. 
  • Reset your Device Name: Reset your device name to the original name from the manufacturer's app. See more here.

"Hide" your Device

Please use this feature if you have a device that you want to remove from your home and would like it to never appear again unless requested. 

This is available on the Brilliant Control AND on the Mobile App.

Note: Sonos devices cannot be hidden as this causes issues with Grouping/Ungrouping speakers and their display.
