5.2 App Pairing (Requires Tuya Zigbee Gateway)

Important: This device requires a Tuya Zigbee gateway (purchased separately) to connect to the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app.

1. Power On Sensor: Press the button on the back of the sensor to power it on. The LED indicator will light up.
2. Open Tuya/Smart Life App: Ensure your Tuya Zigbee gateway is already set up and connected to the app.
3. Add Device: In the app, navigate to your gateway and select 'Add sub-device' or 'Search device'.
4. Pairing Mode: The sensor's LED will blink, indicating it's in pairing mode.
5. Confirm Pairing: Once detected by the app, confirm the pairing process. The app will show the device added successfully.

6. Operating Instructions

Once paired with the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app, you can monitor and control the sensor's functions:

• Real-time Data: The app displays current battery level, rain detection status (e.g., 'Rain Alarm'), rain sensor voltage, and light intensity (in mV).
• Data Sampling: The sensor collects data every 60 seconds.
• Automatic Scene Linkage: Utilize the collected data to create smart automation scenes within the app. For example:
  • If rain is detected, automatically close smart windows or retract smart awnings.
  • If light intensity drops below a certain threshold, automatically turn on outdoor lights.

8. Troubleshooting

Q: Does the rain detector work with Wi-Fi without a Zigbee gateway?

A: No, the Haozee Solar Rain Sensor uses the Zigbee protocol for communication. It requires a Tuya Zigbee gateway to connect to your home network and the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app. It cannot connect directly via Wi-Fi.

Q: The sensor is not reporting data to the app.

A: Ensure the sensor is within range of your Tuya Zigbee gateway. Check the sensor's battery level in the app. If the battery is low, ensure the solar panel is receiving adequate sunlight. Re-pair the device if necessary.

9. User Tips

• Gateway Requirement: Remember that a Tuya Zigbee gateway is essential for this sensor to function with the app and integrate into your smart home system. Purchase it separately if you don't already have one.
• Optimal Placement: For best performance, mount the sensor in an open area where it can receive direct sunlight throughout the day and is fully exposed to rainfall.
• Scene Automation: Explore the automation features in the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app. Setting up scenes based on rain detection or light intensity can significantly enhance your smart home's efficiency and convenience.
