- Add New ZigBee Device: Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to add a new device. Ensure your ZigBee gateway is powered on and connected to your network.
- Pairing: The app will guide you through the pairing process. This usually involves putting the switch into pairing mode (refer to the specific switch's mini-manual or app instructions for details) and confirming discovery in the app.
6. Operation
6.1 Manual Control
The Star Ring switches feature a soft-touch interface for direct control. Simply touch the button to turn the light on/off or to open/close/pause curtains.
6.2 App Control (Tuya Smart / Smart Life)
Once paired with the app, you can control your devices from anywhere:
- Remote Control: Turn lights on/off or control curtains remotely.
- Scheduling/Timing: Set custom schedules for devices to turn on/off automatically, supporting single or weekly cycles.
- Device Sharing: Share control of your smart devices with family members.
- Group Control: Group multiple devices to control them simultaneously.
- Scene Control: Transform the smart switch into a scene switch within the app to control multiple smart devices with a single tap.
6.3 Curtain Switch Specific Functions
- Open/Closed Percentage Adjustment: Directly swipe on the app's home screen to adjust the curtain's open/closed percentage, or set specific percentages for one-tap actions.
- Motor Rotation Switchable: If the curtain motor was installed in the wrong direction, you can reverse its rotation via the Smart Life/MOES App settings, ensuring the switch buttons and app operations function correctly.
6.4 Voice Control
Integrate your MOES Star Ring Series switches with voice assistants for hands-free control:
- Amazon Alexa: Link your Tuya Smart/Smart Life account to Alexa. Then, use commands like "Alexa, turn on the living room light" or "Alexa, open the curtains to 50%."

6.5 Power-Off Memory
The switches are equipped with a power-off memory function, which ensures that your last settings are retained even after a power outage. This helps maintain your home's lighting and curtain schedules without needing to reconfigure.
7. Maintenance
- Clean the switch surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Ensure the switch is free from dust and debris to maintain optimal performance.
8. Troubleshooting
- Device not responding: Check if the ZigBee gateway is online and within range. Ensure the switch has power. Try manually resetting the switch (refer to app or specific switch instructions).

- Voice control not working: Confirm that your Alexa/Google Home account is correctly linked to your Tuya Smart/Smart Life account. Check your internet connection and device names in the app.
- Curtain motor direction incorrect: Use the 'Motor Rotation Switchable' feature in the Smart Life/MOES App to correct the direction.
9. User Tips
- For optimal ZigBee network performance, place your ZigBee gateway centrally within your home and ensure switches are within reasonable range.
- Regularly check for firmware updates for your switches and ZigBee gateway through the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app to ensure you have the latest features and security patches.
