Operating Instructions

1. App Remote Control

After successfully adding your appliance's remote control, you can use the "Tuya Smart" or "Smart Life" app to control it from anywhere with an internet connection. This allows you to pre-cool your home before arriving or manage devices while away.

2. Voice Control

Integrate your Smart IR device with Amazon Alexa or Google Home for convenient voice control:

1. Ensure your Smart IR device is successfully paired with the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app.
2. Link your Tuya Smart/Smart Life account to your Amazon Alexa or Google Home app.
3. Once linked, you can use voice commands such as:
   • "Alexa, turn on TV."
   • "OK Google, set air conditioning temperature to 25 degrees."

3. Timer and Automatic Trigger

Set schedules and automations within the app to manage your appliances based on your habits or environmental conditions:

• Timers: Schedule appliances to turn on or off at specific times (e.g., turn on TV at 2:00 PM).
• Scenarios: Create custom scenarios to control multiple devices with a single tap (e.g., "Movie Night" scenario turns off lights and turns on TV).
• Automation: Set up automated actions based on conditions like device status, weather, or time (e.g., if room temperature exceeds 28°C, turn on AC).

4. DIY Customization

If your home appliance brand is not supported by the pre-loaded IR code database, or if you wish to customize specific buttons, you can use the DIY function in the Tuya Smart/Smart Life App to learn IR signals from your original remote control.

5. Family Sharing

You can share control of the universal remote with family members through the Smart Life app, allowing everyone in the household to manage connected appliances.

User Tips

• Multiple Devices: The Smart IR Remote Control can store and control multiple IR devices. You can add various appliances like TVs, ACs, DVDs, and set-top boxes to a single IR Controller.
• Voice Assistant Language: The language for voice commands (e.g., Brazilian Portuguese) depends on the language settings of your connected smart speaker (Alexa, Google Home), not the IR remote itself.
• Wi-Fi Compatibility: This device operates on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks only. It is not compatible with 5GHz Wi-Fi. Ensure your router is configured to support 2.4GHz.
• Notifications: The Tuya Smart/Smart Life app can be configured to send notifications for device status changes, such as when an air conditioner is turned on or off. Check the app's settings for notification preferences.
• Placement: For optimal performance, place the Smart IR Remote Control in a central location within the room, ensuring a clear line of sight to the appliances it controls, as infrared signals require direct line of sight. The effective infrared distance is up to 8 meters.

Troubleshooting

• Device not discovered during pairing:
  • Ensure the device is powered on and the indicator light is flashing. If not, long-press the button on the bottom for 5 seconds.
  • Verify your smartphone's Bluetooth is enabled.
  • Make sure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The device does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi.
  • Bring the device closer to your Wi-Fi router during setup.
• Appliance not responding to commands:
  • Check if the Smart IR device has a clear line of sight to the appliance. Obstructions can block IR signals.
  • Ensure the correct remote control profile has been added and matched for the specific appliance. Try re-matching if necessary.
  • Verify the Smart IR device is powered on and connected to Wi-Fi.
• Voice commands not working:
  • Confirm that your Smart IR device is successfully linked to your Alexa or Google Home account.
  • Check the internet connection of both your smart speaker and the Smart IR device.
  • Ensure you are using the correct voice commands as configured in the Alexa/Google Home app.
• Device does not have a speaker or play music:
  • The Aubess Tuya IR WiFi Remote Control is an infrared remote control device, not a smart speaker. It does not have a built-in speaker and cannot play music directly. It works in conjunction with smart speakers like Alexa or Google Home to enable voice control for your IR-controlled appliances.

Maintenance

• Keep the device clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the device yourself, as this will void the warranty.
