Why Are All My JellyFish Lighting Zones Showing the Same Color?
- A global or All Zones command was recently issued that overrode all individual zone settings
- A schedule is applying a global pattern to All Zones and overriding individual zone configurations
- Zone setup is not saved correctly — all zones are still mapped to the same physical port rather than separate ports
Problem Description
All JellyFish lighting zones display the same color or pattern regardless of the individual zone settings configured in the app, making it impossible to run different patterns on different sides of the home simultaneously.
Symptoms
- Every zone shows the same color even when different colors are assigned to each zone in the app
- Changing one zone's color updates all zones simultaneously
- Individual zone control buttons appear in the app but have no independent effect
- All zones switch to the same holiday pattern instead of running zone-specific patterns
- Zones that previously ran independently now behave as a single group
Recognize these? Here's what usually causes it.
Common Causes
- A global or All Zones command was recently issued that overrode all individual zone settings
- A schedule is applying a global pattern to All Zones and overriding individual zone configurations
- Zone setup is not saved correctly — all zones are still mapped to the same physical port rather than separate ports
- The Designer App was used to push a single pattern to all ports simultaneously and that state is locked
- Controller firmware reset zone assignments to default after a power interruption during a configuration save
Most fixes happen in the first 3 steps.
Re-running zone setup in the Designer App will clear any existing zone-specific schedules associated with deleted zones. Document all existing schedule times and patterns before reconfiguring zone assignments.
Tools & Requirements
Step-by-Step Solution
All Zones vs. Individual Zone Control
The JellyFish Cloud App has both an All Zones control (affects everything at once) and individual zone controls (affects one zone at a time). Make sure you are tapping the individual zone tile, not the All Zones master control at the top of the screen.
Zone Independence Requires Separate Ports
Physical zone separation requires each zone to be wired to a different output port on the controller. A controller with one port can only run one zone. If your installation has all lights on one port, independent zone control is not possible without rewiring — contact your dealer.
Use Zone Names to Avoid Confusion
Name your zones clearly (Front Eave, Left Side, Back Porch) so it is obvious which tile in the app controls which section. Unnamed or numerically named zones make it easy to accidentally use the All Zones control instead of a specific zone.
Quick Solutions
Still having issues? This is usually the deeper cause below.
If flickering only happens on dimming, the issue is almost always the dimmer's minimum-load setting, not the bulb — it's drawing less current than the dimmer expects.
The All Zones control in the Cloud App is at the top of the zones screen above the individual zone tiles. Always confirm you are tapping a specific zone tile rather than the All Zones master control when you want independent zone control.
This issue almost always looks more complex than it is — the majority of cases trace back to a single setting, a stale credential, or a default that shipped wrong.
- A global or All Zones command was recently issued
- A schedule is applying a global pattern to All
- Zone setup is not saved correctly — all zones
- The Designer App was used to push a single
- Controller firmware reset zone assignments to default
Before you go — try one of these (they fix most cases).
