5. Maintenance

5.1 Battery Replacement

The sensor uses 2 AAA batteries. When the battery level is low, the app will send a low battery warning notification. To replace the batteries:

1. Gently slide open the battery cover on the main sensor unit.
2. Remove the old batteries.
3. Insert two new AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Close the battery cover securely.

Note: Battery life can vary based on usage and environmental factors. The manufacturer states that batteries may not need replacement for at least half a year under normal conditions.

5.2 Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the sensor units with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

6. Troubleshooting

• Sensor not connecting to WiFi:
  Ensure your WiFi network is 2.4GHz. Check if the WiFi signal strength is adequate at the sensor's location. Make sure you entered the correct WiFi password. Try resetting the sensor and re-pairing it.
• No notifications received:
  Verify that push notifications are enabled for the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app in your phone's settings. Check the app's internal notification settings for the specific sensor. Ensure the sensor is connected to WiFi and has sufficient battery power.
• Sensor not detecting open/close:
  Check the alignment of the main sensor unit and the magnetic strip. The gap between them should be minimal (less than 10mm) when closed. Ensure both parts are securely attached and not loose.
• Voice assistant not responding:
  Confirm that your Tuya Smart/Smart Life account is correctly linked to Alexa or Google Home. Ensure the sensor is named clearly in the app and that the voice assistant can discover it.
• Short battery life:
  Ensure you are using fresh, high-quality AAA batteries. Frequent triggering of the sensor or poor WiFi signal strength can increase battery consumption.
