A diagram visually represents the 24G millimeter wave radar detection capabilities of the sensor. It shows adjustable sensing ranges and angles, such as 60 degrees up to 6 meters (20 feet), 140 degrees up to 5 meters (17 feet), and 180 degrees up to 3 meters (10 feet).

Setup

1. Requirements

• A Tuya Zigbee Hub is required for the sensor to function. The sensor connects to the hub, which then communicates with the Tuya Smart Life app.
• A stable Wi-Fi network for your Tuya Zigbee Hub.
• The Tuya Smart Life application installed on your smartphone or tablet.

2. Physical Installation

The ES1 sensor offers flexible installation options to suit various environments:

This image showcases the flexible installation options for the sensor, including 45-degree foldable and 360-degree rotatable mounting. It illustrates wall mounting, ceiling mounting, adhesive mounting, and magnetic mounting, along with a built-in light sensor.

• Wall Mounting: Use the provided screws or adhesive to secure the sensor to a wall.
• Ceiling Mounting: Attach the sensor to the ceiling for overhead detection.
• Adhesive Mounting: For non-permanent or surface-friendly installation.
• Magnetic Mounting: Utilize the magnetic base for attachment to metallic surfaces.

Ensure the sensor is positioned to cover the desired detection area. The sensor can be folded 45 degrees and rotated 360 degrees for optimal positioning.

3. Connecting to Tuya Smart Life App

1. Power on the linptech ES1 sensor by connecting the provided cable.
2. Open the Tuya Smart Life application on your smartphone.
3. Ensure your Tuya Zigbee Hub is already set up and connected to the app.
4. In the app, navigate to your Zigbee Hub and select 'Add Sub Device' or similar option.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to put the ES1 sensor into pairing mode (usually indicated by a flashing LED).
6. Once detected, add the sensor to your smart home system.

Operating Instructions

1. Basic Operation and Detection

The ES1 sensor uses mmWave radar to detect human presence, distinguishing between active motion and static presence.

This image illustrates the sensor's ability to detect both active motion, such as people moving in a room, and static presence, like a person sitting still and reading. The sensor emits radar waves to achieve this.

You can monitor the detection status and presence time directly from the Tuya Smart Life app.

2. Smart Home Integration

Integrate the ES1 sensor with other smart devices through the Tuya Smart Life app to create automated scenes.

The sensor is depicted working in conjunction with smart bulbs. When human presence is detected, the lights automatically turn on, and turn off when no presence is detected, providing hands-free lighting control.

• Automatic Lighting: Set up rules to automatically turn on smart lights when presence is detected and turn them off when no presence is found.
• Climate Control: Adjust smart thermostats or fans based on room occupancy.

3. Security System Integration

The sensor can enhance your home security by providing real-time alerts.

This image demonstrates the sensor's role in a security system. It shows the sensor detecting an unauthorized presence, triggering a G6L Siren Alarm, and sending phone notifications, enhancing home security.

A smartphone screen displays the Tuya Smart Life application, showing real-time alerts and notifications received when unexpected activities or human presence is detected by the sensor.

• Receive instant notifications on your smartphone when movement is detected in a monitored area.
• Link with smart sirens or cameras for a comprehensive security setup.

4. Adjusting Settings

Within the Tuya Smart Life app, you can customize various settings for the ES1 sensor:

• Sensing Range: Adjust the detection distance to suit the room size and specific needs.
• Sensitivity: Modify the sensitivity level to prevent false triggers or ensure detection of subtle movements.
• Presence Time: Configure how long the sensor maintains a 'presence' state after initial detection.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the sensor's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the Tuya Smart Life app for available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
• Power Supply: Ensure the sensor receives continuous power. Any interruption may require re-pairing or re-configuration.

Troubleshooting

1. Sensor Not Detecting Presence

• Check Power: Ensure the sensor is properly powered and its indicator light is on.
• Hub Connection: Verify that the Tuya Zigbee Hub is online and the sensor is connected to it in the app.
• Placement: Ensure the sensor's line of sight is not obstructed and it is positioned correctly to cover the desired area. Adjust its angle or rotation.
• Sensitivity Settings: Increase the sensitivity in the Tuya Smart Life app.
• Range: Confirm the detection range settings are appropriate for the room size.

2. False Detections or No Detection When Still

• Interference: mmWave radar can penetrate thin walls. If experiencing false detections from adjacent rooms, consider adding a small metal plate or aluminum foil behind the sensor to shield it from unwanted areas.
• Environmental Factors: Large fans or air conditioners might cause minor air movement that could be detected. Adjust placement or sensitivity.
• Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity settings in the app. Lowering sensitivity can reduce false positives, while increasing it can help detect very subtle movements or stillness.

3. Connectivity Issues

• Zigbee Hub: Ensure your Tuya Zigbee Hub is online and within range of the sensor.
• Re-pairing: If connectivity is lost, try re-pairing the sensor with your Tuya Zigbee Hub through the app.
• Router Functionality: Some users report the sensor can act as a Zigbee router, potentially extending network range for other devices. Ensure your Zigbee network is robust.

4. LED Light Flashing

• The sensor's LED may flash to indicate detection or status. If the flashing is disruptive, especially in dark rooms, consider repositioning the sensor or, if comfortable, applying a small piece of opaque tape over the LED indicator.
