5.4 Programmable Weekly Schedule

Set up a personalized 7-day heating schedule with up to 6 distinct time periods per day. This allows for automated temperature adjustments based on your daily routine, optimizing comfort and energy savings.

5.5 Child Lock Function

Activate the child lock feature via the app to prevent accidental or unauthorized changes to the thermostat settings. This ensures your heating schedule remains undisturbed.

5.6 Anti-Freezing Function

The TRV is equipped with an anti-freezing function. When the device is in 'Off' status, if the ambient temperature drops below 5°C, the valve will automatically open to prevent pipes from freezing. It will close once the temperature rises above 8°C.

5.7 Family Share Function

Share control of your TRV with other family members through the app. This allows multiple users to manage the heating settings, creating a collaborative smart home environment.

5.8 Group-Control Function

For homes with multiple TRVs, the group-control function allows you to manage several devices simultaneously. This is useful for setting a uniform temperature across different rooms or zones in specific scenarios.

5.9 Bidirectional Display

The TRV features a bidirectional display. To adjust the temperature and switch the display orientation, long-press the knob. This can be useful depending on the mounting angle of the TRV.

6. User Tips

• Temperature Calibration: If you notice a discrepancy between the TRV's displayed temperature and the actual room temperature, use the 'Temp Calibration' setting in the app to fine-tune it. This can improve heating accuracy.
• Valve Compatibility: Ensure your radiator valve is compatible with the TRV. If the valve doesn't close completely, double-check the adapter installation and consider if your valve type requires a specific adapter not included or if it's an older, less compatible model.
• WiFi Connection: For stable operation, ensure your TRV is within range of your 2.4GHz WiFi router. If pairing issues occur, verify your WiFi network is 2.4GHz (not 5GHz), check the password, and try moving the TRV closer to the router during the pairing process.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display or in the app. Use only 3*AA Alkaline Batteries (LR6).
• Firmware Updates: Check the Smart Life/Tuya app regularly for available firmware updates. Updates can improve performance, add new features, and fix bugs.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 Common Issues and Solutions

• TRV not pairing with Wi-Fi:
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The TRV does not support 5GHz networks.
  • Verify the Wi-Fi password is correct.
  • Place the TRV closer to your Wi-Fi router during the pairing process to ensure a strong signal.
  • Reset the TRV and try pairing again.
• Valve not closing completely / Inaccurate temperature control:
  • Perform a temperature calibration via the app. Go to 'Settings' -> 'Temp Calibration' and adjust as needed.
  • Check if the TRV is correctly installed on the valve and if the correct adapter is used. Ensure there is no obstruction preventing the valve from fully closing.
  • If the issue persists after multiple calibrations, the valve mechanism itself might be faulty or incompatible.
• Device unresponsive:
  • Check battery levels and replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the device is connected to Wi-Fi.
  • Restart the device by removing and reinserting the batteries.
