2.4. Placement and Installation

The sensor is ready to use with simple installation. Place the water-leakage detector at the desired testing location. It is ideal for areas prone to water leaks or high water levels, such as:

• Kitchens (under sinks, near dishwashers)
• Bathrooms/Toilets (near toilets, bathtubs, showers)
• Basements
• Laundry rooms
• Near water heaters or washing machines
• Warehouses, offices, laboratories, hotel rooms, garages

Use the provided double-sided tape for easy wall-mounted installation or simply place it on a flat surface. Ensure the probe is positioned where water accumulation is most likely to occur.

4. Maintenance

4.1. Battery Replacement

The sensor operates on two 1.5V AAA batteries. It features low power consumption and an 8-month long-time standby. The app will provide a low battery alert when replacement is needed. To replace batteries, follow the steps in Section 2.1.

4.2. Cleaning

Wipe the sensor and probe with a dry, soft cloth as needed to remove dust or debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the probe is clean for optimal detection.

5. Troubleshooting

• Device not connecting to Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz (5G Wi-Fi is not supported). Check that your Wi-Fi password is correct and the sensor is within range of your router.
• No app notifications: Verify that app notifications are enabled for the Smart Life/Tuya App in your phone's settings. Check the sensor's battery level.
• False alarms: Ensure the sensor probe is not in contact with any moisture or condensation that could trigger a false alarm.
• Sensor unresponsive: Try replacing the batteries. If the issue persists, attempt to re-pair the device with the app.

7. User Tips

• Test Regularly: Periodically test the sensor by placing the probe in a small amount of water to ensure it is functioning correctly and sending notifications to your app.
• Optimal Placement: Consider placing sensors in multiple high-risk areas, such as under sinks, near washing machines, water heaters, and in basements, to maximize coverage.
• Wi-Fi Stability: A stable 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection is crucial for reliable performance. Ensure your router is centrally located or consider a Wi-Fi extender if the sensor is in a distant area.
• Battery Monitoring: Pay attention to low battery alerts from the app to ensure continuous protection.
