The Skylight Cal Max is a unique gadget that sits somewhere between a smart display and a digital picture frame. Its primary function is as a calendar, allowing you and your family to sync your schedules into one convenient location — but when it's not actively in use, it converts into a digital frame. Before it can start showing off your favorite photos, however, you'll need to send your photos to the Skylight Cal Max. This process is quick and easy, and there are a few different ways you can go about the task.
Keep in mind that you'll need to be a Skylight Plus member to send photos and create photo albums, with a yearly membership costing $39. But once you're signed up, you're ready to start using your Cal Max as a digital picture frame.
How to send photos to the Skylight Cal Max via email
If your photos are stored on your PC, the fastest way to get them to your Skylight Cal Max is via email.
Step 1: When setting up your Cal Max, you'll need to give your device a name.
Step 2: This name will also be used to create an email address for your Cal Max. For example, naming your device "testing-cal-max" will create an account called "testing-cal-max@ourskylight.com".
Step 3: Be sure to remember this email address. If you forget, you can contact Skylight support to help recover the email.
Step 4: With the email address in hand, simply send a message to the account with any images you want to add to the Cal Max as an attachment. There's no need to add a title or body text to the message, as the Cal Max email can only decipher attachments.
Step 5: Once the email sends, your images will automatically be added to the Cal Max.
