1. Introduction
The LoraTap Smart Curtain Switch is designed to provide intelligent control over your rolling blinds, roller shutters, shades, and curtains. This device integrates both RF and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing for versatile control options via a mobile application (Tuya Smart Life), a dedicated RF remote control, voice commands through Google Home and Amazon Alexa, and direct touch panel interaction.
2. Safety Information and Important Notes
Please read and understand all safety instructions before installation and operation to prevent injury or damage.
- Power Requirements: The switch operates on an input voltage of 100-250VAC, 50/60Hz, and provides an output voltage (motor voltage) of 100-250VAC, 50/60Hz. It is not compatible with DC motors.
- Motor Compatibility: Ensure your motor has 4 wires (Blue, Brown, Black, Green/Yellow Wire) before purchasing and installation.
- App Control Precaution: Before using the mobile application to control the shutter, always ensure the wall manual switch is in the 'STOP' position. Failure to do so may prevent the app from functioning correctly and could potentially damage the motor.
- Installation Safety: Always turn off the electrical power before installing the glass panel or performing any wiring. Working with live electricity can cause severe injury or death.
- Glass Panel Handling: When opening the glass panel for wiring, do so carefully using a screwdriver on a flat surface to avoid scratching or breaking the glass.

5. Installation
5.1 Wiring Instructions
WARNING: Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker before beginning any wiring.
The LoraTap Smart Curtain Switch requires a neutral wire for operation. Please follow the wiring diagrams carefully.
For Standard Blinds (4-wire motor):
- Input L (Live Wire): Connect the Red/Brown/Black wire from your AC power.
- Input N (Neutral Wire): Connect the Blue wire from your AC power.
- Output L1: Connect the Brown wire from your motor.
- Output L2: Connect the Black wire from your motor.
- Output N: Connect the Blue wire from your motor.
Note: The switch does not have a terminal for the earth wire. If your motor has an earth wire (Green/Yellow), it does not need to be connected to the switch.
For Blinds with Built-in Driver (5-wire motor):
If your motor has a built-in driver and 5 wires (L, L1, L2, N, Earth Wire), follow the same connections as above. The earth wire from the motor does not need to be connected to the switch.
5.2 Physical Installation
- After completing the wiring, fix the back plate of the switch onto the wall using the provided screws.
- Ensure the power is still OFF. Carefully align and press the glass panel back onto the back plate until it clicks securely into place.
The switch is compatible with most standard 502 junction boxes (60mm diameter).
6. Setup
6.1 App Pairing (Tuya Smart Life)
- Download the 'Smart Life' or 'Tuya App' from your smartphone's app store (available for both iOS and Android).
- Register or log in to your account.
- Ensure the Smart Curtain Switch is powered on.
- On the switch, press and hold the 'Up' button for 8 seconds until the indicator light blinks rapidly. This puts the switch into pairing mode.
- In the app, tap 'Add Device' or the '+' icon. Select 'Curtain Switch' from the device list (under 'Electrical' or 'Lighting').
- Confirm that the indicator is blinking rapidly in the app and follow the on-screen prompts to connect to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
- Once successfully added, you can rename the device and control it via the app.
6.2 RF Remote Control Pairing
To pair the 3-button RF remote with the switch:
- Ensure the switch is powered on.
- Double-click the desired button on the RF remote (e.g., the 'Up' button) to initiate pairing. The switch should respond, indicating successful pairing.
6.3 Setting Motor Working Time
You can customize the motor's operation time through the app to precisely control the opening/closing percentage of your blinds.
- In the Smart Life/Tuya app, navigate to the settings for your curtain switch.
- Locate the 'Schedule time' or 'Motor Working Time' setting.
- Set the desired operation time, typically between 10-120 seconds, based on your shutter's height and full travel time. This ensures precise control and protects the motor.
6.4 Group Function and Device Sharing
The app allows for enhanced control and convenience:
- Group Control: Create groups within the app to manage multiple curtain switches simultaneously. For example, you can open or close all blinds in a room with a single command.
- Device Sharing: Share control of your smart curtain switches with family members by inviting them through the app. This allows everyone in the household to manage the blinds.
7. Operation
The LoraTap Smart Curtain Switch offers multiple ways to control your window coverings.
7.1 Mobile App Control
Use the Smart Life or Tuya app to control your curtains from anywhere with an internet connection.
- Basic Control: Open, stop, or close your curtains directly from the app interface.
- Timing Function: Set schedules for your curtains to open or close automatically at specific times (e.g., open at 7:00 AM, close at 7:00 PM).
- Remote Access: Control your curtains via your mobile phone using 2G, 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi networks.
7.2 Voice Control
Integrate your switch with smart home assistants for hands-free operation.
- Compatibility: Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

8. User Tips
- Undisturbed Sleep: The switch's indicator lights are not constantly on. They only illuminate when the panel is touched, ensuring no light disturbance during sleep.
- Remote Compatibility: The RF remote included in this listing is specifically designed to work with the RF + WiFi version of the roller shutter switch. Remotes from other listings, even if they appear similar or are cheaper, may not be compatible.
- App Control Best Practice: Always ensure the physical wall switch is in the 'STOP' position before attempting to control your blinds via the mobile app. This prevents conflicts and protects your motor.
9. Troubleshooting
- App Not Working: If the app cannot control the shutter, first check if the wall manual switch is in the 'STOP' position. Also, ensure your Wi-Fi network is active and the switch is connected to a 2.4GHz network.
- Interference with Multiple Devices: The LoraTap Smart Curtain Switch is designed with a unique ID for each unit, minimizing interference even when multiple kits are used in the same space. If you experience unexpected behavior, try re-pairing the specific device.
- Motor Not Responding: Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct according to the diagrams in Section 5.1. Ensure the motor is a 4-wire AC motor and not a DC motor.
- Remote Not Working: Check the battery in the RF remote (Coin Battery CR2032). If the battery is fine, try re-pairing the remote with the switch as described in Section 6.2.
10. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LoraTap Smart Curtain Switch, follow these general maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the glass panel with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surface.
- Environment: Keep the switch away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures.
