Troubleshooting
- Switch not responding to touch: Ensure the power is on. If recently installed, check wiring connections.

- Voice control not working: Verify that your Smart Life/Tuya account is correctly linked to Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Check your internet connection.
- Lights flicker or don't turn off completely (Single Live Wire): Ensure the capacitor is correctly installed across the light fixture. This is essential for stable operation without a neutral wire.

User Tips
- For single live wire installations, the included capacitor is crucial for preventing flickering and ensuring proper operation. Install it across the light fixture.
