The detector triggers an alarm when its probes come into contact with water, sending an immediate notification to your phone.

5.2. App Remote Control & Alerts

The Smart Life / Tuya Smart app allows for mobile app control, connecting to the network via WiFi (for WiFi version) or Zigbee (for Zigbee version via hub), enabling remote monitoring and alerts at any time. You can view real-time status and alarm records within the app.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Battery Replacement

The detector is powered by two AAA 1.5V batteries, offering approximately 8 months of standby time. When the battery voltage drops below 2.4V, the device will indicate a low-voltage condition. Replace the batteries promptly to ensure continuous protection. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 4.1.

6.2. Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance, periodically wipe the sensor probe and the main unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the main unit in water.

7. Troubleshooting

  • No alerts received:
    • Check if the batteries are installed correctly and are not depleted.
    • Ensure the device is properly connected to your WiFi network (for WiFi version) or Zigbee hub (for Zigbee version).
    • Verify that app notifications are enabled on your smartphone.
    • Confirm the sensor probe is making proper contact with water when testing.
  • False alarms:
    • Ensure the sensor probe is placed in an area free from condensation or accidental splashes that are not actual leaks.
    • Check for any environmental factors that might be triggering the sensor incorrectly.
  • Cannot connect to the app:
    • For WiFi version, ensure your WiFi network is 2.4GHz and you have entered the correct password.
    • For Zigbee version, verify that your Zigbee hub is powered on and functioning correctly.
    • Try resetting the device by pressing its button and re-pairing it with the app.
    • Ensure your smartphone is connected to the same network during the pairing process.

8. User Tips

  • Optimal Placement: Ensure the sensor probe is placed directly where water might accumulate, such as on the floor near water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, or under sinks.
  • Battery Monitoring: Regularly check the battery status in the Smart Life / Tuya Smart app to ensure continuous protection and replace batteries promptly when indicated.
  • Periodic Testing: Test the detector periodically (e.g., monthly) by placing the probe in a small amount of water to confirm it sends alerts to your smartphone.
