4.2 Durability Features
5. Troubleshooting
- No Power/No Response: Ensure the main power at the circuit breaker is ON. Verify all wiring connections are secure according to the installation diagrams.
- Noise from Electric Current: This updated switch version does not require a capacitor, which typically causes noise. If you experience noise, double-check wiring or consult a professional.
- App Connectivity Issues: Ensure your Zigbee hub is online and connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. The smart switch itself uses Zigbee protocol, not direct Wi-Fi. Restart your Zigbee hub and try re-pairing the switch if necessary.
- Voice Control Not Working: Confirm that your Smart Life/Tuya account is correctly linked to your Alexa or Google Home app. Check your internet connection and ensure voice commands are clear.
- Multi-Control Association Not Functioning: Verify that the switches are correctly associated in the Smart Life/Tuya App. Remember that only one gang on a single switch can be associated for multi-control.
