  • Ensure the module is within the Wi-Fi signal range.
  • Verify that the module is powered on.
  • Try restarting your Wi-Fi router and the module.
  • Re-pair the device with the app if necessary.
Q: The physical switch is not working.

A:

  • Ensure the module is correctly wired and receiving power.
  • Check the connections to the S1/S2 terminals.
  • If the module is faulty, it may prevent the physical switch from operating.
Q: Voice control is not working.

A:

  • Confirm that your BlitzWolf/Smart Life/Tuya account is correctly linked to your voice assistant (e.g., Alexa, Google Home).
  • Ensure the device is discovered and named appropriately in the voice assistant app.
  • Check your internet connection.
Q: The module disconnects frequently.

A:

  • Check for firmware updates for the module and your router.

8. User Tips

  • For optimal performance, ensure your Wi-Fi network is dedicated to 2.4GHz for smart home devices, as 5GHz networks are not supported by this module.
