This typically involves putting the hub into pairing mode (refer to the hub's LED indicator for status) and confirming the connection within the app.

Once connected, you can proceed to add and manage your automatic blinds through the Tuya Smart app.

Operating Instructions

After the Smart Hub is successfully added to the Tuya Smart app, you can begin pairing your automatic blinds. Each blind typically has a pairing button or sequence. Refer to your specific blind's manual for its pairing procedure. Within the Tuya app, select the Smart Hub and follow the prompts to discover and add your blinds. Ensure the blinds are within the hub's signal range during pairing.

  • Schedules: Set specific times for blinds to open or close automatically (e.g., open at sunrise, close at sunset).

Maintenance

To clean the Smart Hub, gently wipe its exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosols, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the device.

Periodically check the Tuya Smart app for available firmware updates for your Smart Hub. Keeping the firmware updated ensures optimal performance, security, and compatibility with new features or devices. Follow the in-app instructions for any update procedures.
