Setup
1. Physical Installation
- Clean Surface: Ensure the surface where you plan to install the LED strip is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease.
- Measure and Cut (Optional): If the 100ft length is too long for your application, you can cut the LED strip along the designated cutting marks. These marks are typically indicated by a copper pad with a scissor icon. Ensure the power is disconnected before cutting.
- Peel and Stick: Carefully peel off the adhesive backing from the LED strip and firmly press the strip onto the desired surface. Apply even pressure along the entire length to ensure good adhesion.
2. Connecting Components
- Connect the LED strip to the IR Receiver/Controller Box. Ensure the arrows on both connectors align for proper polarity.
- Connect the power adapter to the IR Receiver/Controller Box.
- Plug the power adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The lights should illuminate.
3. App Download and WiFi Connection
- Download the Tuya Smart app from your mobile device's app store (available on iOS and Android).
- Register or log in to your Tuya Smart account.
- Important WiFi Note: These lights require a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. They are not compatible with 5GHz Wi-Fi networks. If your router broadcasts both, ensure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz network during setup.
- In the Tuya Smart app, tap the "+" icon to add a device. Select "Lighting" then "Light Strip (Wi-Fi)" or similar.
- To put the lights into pairing mode (fast flashing), you may need to power cycle the lights 5 times (unplug and plug back in quickly). The lights should begin to flash rapidly.
- Follow the on-screen instructions in the app to connect the lights to your Wi-Fi network.
4. Voice Assistant Integration (Alexa/Google Assistant)
- Once connected to the Tuya Smart app, open your Amazon Alexa or Google Home app.
- Enable the "Tuya Smart" skill/service within your voice assistant app.
- Link your Tuya Smart account when prompted.
- Discover devices. Your DAYBETTER LED lights should now appear and be controllable via voice commands.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the LED strips and controller box with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Adhesion: If the adhesive starts to lose its grip, you can reinforce it with additional adhesive clips or double-sided tape suitable for LED strips.
- Storage: If storing the lights for an extended period, ensure they are clean, dry, and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Handling: Avoid bending the LED strip sharply or applying excessive force, as this can damage the internal circuitry.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | Power connection issue; adapter failure; remote battery dead. | Check all connections (strip to controller, controller to adapter, adapter to outlet). Ensure the outlet has power. Replace remote battery if applicable. |
| Cannot connect to Wi-Fi/App. | Incorrect Wi-Fi frequency (5GHz); incorrect pairing mode; weak signal. | Ensure your Wi-Fi is 2.4GHz. Power cycle the lights 5 times (unplug/plug quickly) to enter fast flashing pairing mode. Move closer to the router. |
| Remote control not working. | IR receiver blocked; remote battery dead; remote too far. | Ensure the IR receiver on the controller box is not obstructed. Replace remote battery. Point the remote directly at the receiver within range. |
| A section of the lights is not working. | Damage to the LED strip; faulty connection. | Inspect the affected section for visible damage or kinks. Check the connection between the strip and the controller. If a section is damaged, the strip may need replacement. |
| Lights are flickering or inconsistent. | Insufficient power; loose connection; faulty strip. | Ensure the power adapter is securely connected. Check for any loose connections along the strip. Try a different power outlet. |
