4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Physical Installation

The ultra-mini size of the switch module allows it to be easily hidden within a traditional switch box or installed directly on a lamp fixture.

4.2 Wiring Instructions

Ensure power is disconnected before wiring. A neutral wire (N-in) is required for all installations. The module supports 2-way control without changing the existing house wiring design.

4.3 Connecting to Tuya ZigBee Gateway

This smart switch module requires a Tuya ZigBee Gateway (hub) to function. Ensure your gateway is set up and connected to your home network.

1. Power on the smart switch module after wiring.
2. Open the Smart Life or Tuya Smart app on your smartphone.
3. Follow the in-app instructions to add a new device. The app should detect the Zigbee module automatically or guide you through a pairing process.
4. Once detected, assign the module to a room and give it a recognizable name.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 App Remote Control

Control your lights and appliances from anywhere using the Smart Life or Tuya Smart app.

5.2 Voice Control

Integrate with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for hands-free control.

1. Ensure your smart switch is linked to your Alexa or Google Home account through the Smart Life/Tuya Smart app.
2. Use commands such as: "Alexa, turn on the living room light" or "Hey Google, turn off the kitchen light."

5.3 Timing, Schedule, and Countdown Functions

Automate your daily life by setting schedules for your lights and appliances.

1. In the Smart Life/Tuya Smart app, select your smart switch.
2. Navigate to the 'Schedule' or 'Timer' section.
3. Set specific times for the switch to turn on or off, create countdowns, or establish recurring cycles.

5.4 Group Control and Linkage Function

Create groups of switches for simultaneous control or link them to other smart devices for scene automation.

5.5 Family Share Function

Share control of your smart switches with family members.

1. In the Smart Life/Tuya Smart app, go to 'Me' > 'Home Management'.
2. Select your home and then 'Add Member' or 'Share Device'.
3. Invite family members to control the devices.

5.6 Status Memory Function

The switch module can remember its last state (ON/OFF) before a power outage and restore it when power returns.

You can configure the power-off memory mode in the app settings for each switch: 'ON', 'OFF', or 'Memory' (to keep the last state).

6. Maintenance

• Keep the device dry and clean.
• Avoid exposing the module to extreme temperatures or humidity.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the module yourself. Contact support if issues arise.
• Regularly check for firmware updates through the Smart Life/Tuya Smart app to ensure optimal performance and security.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Common Issues

• Device not connecting to app: Ensure your Tuya ZigBee Gateway is online and within range. Check if the module is correctly wired and powered. Try resetting the module (refer to app instructions for specific reset procedures).
• Voice control not working: Verify that your smart switch is correctly linked to Amazon Alexa or Google Home in their respective apps. Check your internet connection and the status of your voice assistant device.
• Switch not responding: Check the power supply to the module. If using a traditional wall switch, ensure it is compatible (rocker or touch, not reset switch).
• S1/S2 function programming: The S1 and S2 terminals are typically for connecting traditional wall switches to provide manual control. Their function is usually to toggle the connected load. Advanced programming for these inputs (e.g., button vs. switch mode) might be available within the Smart Life/Tuya Smart app's device settings, depending on the specific module firmware. Consult the app's device settings for customization options.

7.2 Zigbee Network Stability

The Zigbee 3.0 protocol offers better performance in environments with weak Wi-Fi signals. Even if your internet connection is temporarily down, the Zigbee network (if the gateway remains powered) should allow local control of devices within the network.

9. User Tips

• Gateway Placement: For optimal Zigbee signal strength, place your Tuya ZigBee Gateway centrally within your home and ensure it's not obstructed by large metal objects or thick walls.
• Switch Type Compatibility: Remember that these modules are designed for rocker and touch switches, not momentary/reset switches. Using the correct switch type is crucial for proper functionality.
• S1/S2 Customization: If you wish to customize the behavior of the S1/S2 inputs (e.g., to act as a button or a toggle switch), check the advanced settings within the Smart Life/Tuya Smart app for your specific device model. Some firmware versions may offer these configuration options.
• Offline Functionality: While the module requires a Zigbee gateway, it can still operate locally (via physical switch or Zigbee commands) even if your internet connection is down, provided the gateway remains powered.
