3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Pre-installation Checklist
Before proceeding with installation, ensure the following:
- Your smartphone or tablet is connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network with internet access.
- Bluetooth is enabled on your phone.
- You have the correct WiFi password.
- Your smartphone or tablet has access to an APP store (e.g., Google Play Store, Apple App Store).
- Your router is MAC-open (if applicable for your network setup).
3.2 App Download and Account Registration
- Download the Tuya Smart or Smart Life App by searching for "Tuya Smart" in your mobile app store or by scanning the QR code below.
- Register for a new Tuya Smart account. If you already have an account, simply log in.
3.3 Wiring Diagram
Important Note: The relays provide passive output (dry contact). Regardless of the power supplied to the input, the output will not have any voltage. You must supply power to the connected device at the output terminals. The input power only energizes the PCB board.
3.4 Adding Devices to the App
- Power On: Connect the module to its power supply (AC 85-250V or AC/DC 7-32V).
- Reset Device: If the network indicator (red light) is not blinking fast (0.5s/time), hold down the Reset button for 5 seconds until it blinks rapidly. If it's already blinking fast, you can skip this step.
- Open Tuya Smart App: On the app's homepage, click the '+' icon in the top right corner.
- Auto Scan: Select "Add Manually" or "Auto Scan". It is recommended to use "Auto Scan" for easier discovery.
- Discover Device: Wait a few seconds for the app to discover the device. Ensure your device is ready for network connection.
- Confirm Device: Once the device is found, click "Next".
- Connect to Wi-Fi: Select your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and enter its password.
- Name Device: After successful connection, name your device (e.g., "Garage Door Opener", "Living Room Light").

5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Product Matching and Offline Issues
If you encounter issues with product matching or the device going offline:
- Ensure your Wi-Fi network is stable and within range of the device.
- Verify that your phone's Bluetooth is enabled during the pairing process.
- Check if the network indicator on the module is blinking fast (0.5s/time) before attempting to add it. If not, perform a reset.
- In the Tuya Smart Life App, navigate to the homepage.
- Click the icon in the lower right corner of the interface (often a 'Me' or 'Profile' icon).
- Look for a 'Help Center' or 'FAQ' section within the app for further guidance.
- If issues persist, try using a different smartphone or a personal hotspot to rule out local network problems.
5.2 General Connectivity Tips
- Ensure your router is configured to allow new device connections and is not using MAC filtering that would block the module.
- Confirm that your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz, as the module does not support 5GHz networks.
- Restart your Wi-Fi router and the smart module, then attempt the pairing process again.
6. Maintenance
The Smart Relay Switch Module is designed for low maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Keep the device in a dry environment, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid exposing the module to direct sunlight or corrosive substances.
- Periodically check wiring connections to ensure they are secure.
- Keep the firmware updated through the Tuya Smart Life App for the latest features and security enhancements.
7. User Tips
- Zigbee Hub is Key: Remember that a Tuya Zigbee Hub is required for full functionality, including APP remote control, mobile phone control, and voice control.
- Passive Output: Always ensure you supply power to the appliance connected to the output terminals, as the module's output is a dry contact (passive) and does not provide voltage.
- Network Stability: For reliable smart control, maintain a strong and stable 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal where the module is installed.
- RF Backup: Utilize the RF 433MHz remote control feature as a convenient local backup or alternative control method.
