8. Troubleshooting

  • Device not responding: Check power supply to the switch. Ensure the main power is on. Verify wiring connections are secure.
  • Cannot connect to App: Ensure your Zigbee gateway is properly set up and connected to your home network. Confirm the X3-Dimming switch is in network pairing mode (white light flashing). Check that the switch is within range of the Zigbee gateway.
  • Lights not dimming/changing color temperature: Ensure the connected lights are dimmable and support color temperature adjustment. Verify the switch is in the correct adjustment mode (brightness or color temperature) using Button 2.
  • Scene buttons not working: Confirm that scenes have been properly configured and assigned to Buttons 3 and 4 within the Tuya Smart App.
  • Intermittent connectivity: Check for potential interference with the 2.4G frequency band. Ensure the Zigbee gateway is not obstructed and is placed centrally.

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your X3-Dimming smart switch, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface of the panel with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and electronic components.
  • Avoid Liquids: Prevent any liquids from entering the switch housing. If liquid spills occur, immediately disconnect power and allow the device to dry completely before re-applying power.
  • Environmental Conditions: Operate the device within the specified temperature and humidity ranges (0°C~40°C, 5%~90%RH non-condensing) to prevent damage.
