6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Panel and Interface Description (16-Channel Module)

Detailed Button/Interface Description for the 16-channel module. Shows indicator lights, reset button, and wiring terminals for neutral/live wire, L1-L16 relays, DC 24V/6A, IN, RS485, COM, K1-K16 switch inputs.
Figure 11: 16-Channel Module Button and Interface Description

Panel Section:

  • Reset Button: When flashing, the device enters the distribution network state.
  • Indicator Lights (1-16): Always on when open, off when closed.
  • Key Buttons (1-16): Press to control the on/off state of the corresponding relay.

Interface Section (Part 1):

  • Neutral Wire and Live Wire (100-250V): Power input.
  • L1-L16 Relays: AC 250V/16A outputs.
  • DC 24V/6A and IN: Input terminals.
  • RS485: For RS485 switch connection.
  • Motor Control: When used as motor control, L11-L16 are 1-way motor control.

Interface Section (Part 2):

  • RJ45: Not supported in this version.
  • COM Interface: Common terminal.
  • K1-K16: External input buttons.
  • Dry Contact Control: K1-K8 is a group, K9-K16 is a group. K1-K16 interface and COM interface are short circuited, and corresponding channels can be controlled.

Note on Dry Contact States:

  1. When set to the reset switch, only short circuiting is effective.
  2. When set to the rocker switch, both short circuiting and disconnection are effective.
  3. When set to a weak current switch, short circuiting indicates an open action, and disconnection indicates a closed action.

  3. Discover devices in your voice assistant app.
  4. Use voice commands such as:
    • "Alexa, turn on [device name]"
    • "Hey Google, turn off [device name]"

7. Maintenance

  • Regularly check wiring connections for any signs of wear or looseness.
  • Keep the module clean and free from dust. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
  • Avoid exposing the module to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
  • Ensure the firmware of the module and the app are updated to the latest versions for optimal performance and security.

8. Troubleshooting

  • Device not responding: Check power supply to the module and the connected appliance. Ensure the Zigbee gateway is online and within range.
  • Cannot pair with app: Verify that the module is in pairing mode (indicator light flashing). Ensure your Zigbee gateway is properly set up and connected to the internet. Try resetting the module (refer to panel description for reset button).
  • Voice control not working: Confirm that the Smart Life/Tuya Smart account is correctly linked to your voice assistant (Alexa/Google Home). Ensure the device name in the app matches the name used in voice commands.
  • Intermittent connection: Check the distance between the module and the Zigbee gateway. Obstructions can affect signal strength. Consider adding more Zigbee devices to strengthen the mesh network.

9. User Tips

  • For motor control applications (e.g., curtains, garage doors), ensure the correct wiring and mode (e.g., interlock) are selected in the app to prevent damage.
  • Utilize the timing functions to automate daily routines, such as turning on lights at sunset or opening curtains in the morning.
  • Experiment with scene linkage to create complex automations, like a "Goodnight" scene that turns off all lights and closes blinds.
