1. Introduction
This user manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Tuya Wifi Stair Motion LED Light Strip Sensor and Controller. This smart home device is designed to provide automated and customizable lighting for staircases, enhancing safety and ambiance. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use to ensure proper function and safety.
2. Safety Information
- The product operates on a low voltage of DC12V-24V. A suitable transformer is required for operation. Do NOT directly connect the controller to a 220V power supply, as this will damage the device and pose a safety risk.
- This product is NOT waterproof. Ensure it is installed in a dry environment, away from moisture and direct water exposure.
- Ensure all electrical connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits.
- Installation should be performed by a qualified professional if you are unsure about electrical wiring.
3. Package Contents
The package typically includes the following components:
- Easy Stair Lighting Controller (Model RL-S01 or RL-S04)
- 2-pin mainline (length varies based on step count, e.g., 16-step length 5.6m)
- Sensor cables (2 pieces, 1m length each)
- Extension cord (1 piece, 5m length)

5. Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Prepare the Main Cable: Select the main cable corresponding to the number of steps on your staircase (e.g., 16-step main cable for 16 steps).
- Connect Power to Controller: Connect the power supply to the controller's input terminals, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -). Remember to use a DC12V-24V transformer.
- Connect LED Strips: Connect the LED light strips to the main cable. Ensure each strip is securely connected.
- Install Sensors: Install Sensor A and Sensor B at the entrance and exit of the stairs, respectively. Ensure they face the human body for optimal motion detection. Connect the sensors to the controller's VCC, PIR, and GND terminals.
6. Operation
6.1. Delay Time Adjustment
The delay time determines how long the lights remain on after motion is detected. To adjust the delay time, use the "+" and "-" buttons on the controller.
| Delay Time | Signal Indication (Blue Light) |
|---|---|
| 20 seconds | Blink 2 times quickly |
| 40 seconds | Blink 3 times quickly |
| 60 seconds | Blink 4 times quickly |
| 120 seconds | Blink 5 times quickly |
| 180 seconds | Blink 6 times quickly |
| 300 seconds | Blink 7 times quickly |
6.2. Brightness Adjustment
- Increase Brightness: Long touch the "+" button on the controller.
- Decrease Brightness: Long touch the "-" button on the controller.
6.3. Daylight Sensor Settings
The daylight sensor (CDS) can be adjusted to control when the motion sensor activates based on ambient light levels. Use a small screwdriver to adjust the dial on the sensor:
- Lux Off: When set to 'Lux Off', the PIR sensor will activate the lights both during the day and at night when motion is detected.
- Lux ON: When set to 'Lux ON', the PIR sensor will only activate the lights when there is insufficient ambient light (e.g., at night or in a dark room).
6.4. Tuya App Control (RL-S01 only)
For Model RL-S01, you can control the lighting system via the Tuya Smart app. This allows for advanced features such as:
- Adjusting brightness levels.
- Turning lights On/Off.
- Setting timers for automatic operation.
- Selecting different scene modes (if available).
Refer to the Tuya Smart app's instructions for pairing the device and utilizing its full range of smart features.
7. Maintenance
- Keep the controller and sensors clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Regularly check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure.
- Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or humidity.
- Do not attempt to open or repair the controller or sensors yourself, as this may void any potential warranty and could be dangerous.
8. Troubleshooting
- Lights not turning on: Check power connections, ensure the transformer is working, verify sensor placement and settings (Lux ON/OFF), and confirm LED strips are properly connected.
- Lights staying on too long/short: Adjust the delay time using the "+" and "-" buttons on the controller as described in Section 6.1.
- Lights not responding to motion: Check sensor connections, ensure sensors are not obstructed, and verify daylight sensor settings (Lux ON/OFF) are appropriate for the ambient light conditions.
- RL-S01 (Wifi) not connecting to app: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz, the device is within range, and you are following the app's pairing instructions correctly.
9. User Tips
- For optimal motion detection, ensure sensors are placed at a height that can easily detect movement from both ascending and descending individuals.
- Experiment with different delay times to find the setting that best suits your needs and traffic patterns on the stairs.
- If using the RL-S01 model, leverage the Tuya app's timer function to schedule lights to turn on/off at specific times, complementing the motion sensor functionality.
