3.2 Mounting the Remote
The WR02RF remote features a magnetic holder for easy installation. You can either attach it to any metallic surface or use the provided magnetic base to mount it on a wall. No wiring is required for the remote itself, offering flexible placement.
3.3 Pairing with LED Controllers (Linking Instructions)
To control your LED strips, the remote panel must be linked to a compatible LED controller (e.g., C01RF, C02RF, C01W, C02W, WB5, LM052, LM053). Follow these steps:
- Switch off the power to the LED light strip and its controller.
- Switch the power back on after 10 seconds.
- When the light is on, short-press any zone button ('1', '2', '3', or '4') on the WR02RF remote three times within 3 seconds.
- The LED light strip will blink slowly 3 times, indicating successful linking.

3.4 Unpairing from LED Controllers (Unlinking Instructions)
To unlink the remote from a controller, follow these steps:
- Switch off the power to the LED light strip and its controller.
- Switch the power back on after 10 seconds.
- When the light is on, short-press the same zone button ('1', '2', '3', or '4') on the WR02RF remote five times within 3 seconds.
- The LED light strip will blink quickly 10 times, indicating successful unlinking.
3.5 App Setup (Tuya Smart Life)
For advanced control features, you can connect your compatible LED controller (not the remote panel itself) to the Tuya Smart Life app. This allows for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth control, voice control via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, and scheduling.
- Download the Tuya Smart Life app from your smartphone's app store.
- Register or log in to your account.
- Ensure your LED controller is powered on and in pairing mode (refer to your specific controller's manual for pairing mode instructions, often indicated by a blinking light).
- In the app, tap '+' to add a device. The app should automatically discover the controller.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to connect the controller to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and complete the pairing process.
4. Operation
4.1 Basic Controls (Remote Panel)
- Zone ON/OFF: Press the individual zone buttons (1-4) to turn specific zones on or off.
- All ON/OFF: Press the 'All' button to control all linked zones simultaneously.
- Brightness Dimming: Use the brightness slider to adjust the light intensity from 1% to 100%.

4.2 Advanced Controls (App & Voice)
Once your LED controller is connected to the Tuya Smart Life app, you can access additional features:
- Remote Control: Control your lights from anywhere using your smartphone.

4.3 Auto Transmitting & Synchronization
The system supports auto transmitting and auto synchronization for dynamic modes. This means that if multiple lamps are within 30 meters of each other, the remote control signal can be transmitted from one lamp to the next, extending the effective control distance. Lamps in the same dynamic mode will synchronize automatically.
Video 3: This video explains the Auto Synchronization Function, illustrating how multiple lights can be controlled and synchronized from a single remote.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the tempered glass panel with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the surface.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the AAA batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or stops working. Always use fresh batteries and dispose of old ones responsibly.
- Storage: If storing the remote for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Remote not responding | Dead batteries; Remote not linked; Out of range | Replace batteries; Perform linking procedure (Section 3.3); Move closer to the LED controller. |
| Lights not synchronizing | Lamps too far apart; Not in same dynamic mode | Ensure lamps are within 30m of each other; Select the same dynamic mode for all lamps. |
| App control not working | Controller not paired with app; Wi-Fi issue; Incorrect network (not 2.4GHz) | Ensure LED controller is paired with Tuya Smart Life app (Section 3.5); Check Wi-Fi connection; Verify router is on 2.4GHz band. |
| Lights flicker or behave erratically | Loose connections; Power supply issue; Interference | Check all wiring connections to the LED controller; Ensure power supply meets LED strip requirements; Reduce RF interference sources. |
