Once paired, you can control your switch from anywhere using the Smart Life/Tuya Smart app. Tap on the device icon to turn it on or off.

8.2 Voice Control

Integrate with Amazon Alexa or Google Home by linking your Smart Life/Tuya Smart account in their respective apps. Then, use voice commands like:
