Setup
1. Installation
The RTX DTS1419 is designed for DIN rail mounting within an electrical panel.
- Mounting: Securely attach the energy meter to a standard 35mm DIN rail. Ensure the clip at the bottom locks into place.
- Wiring: Refer to the wiring diagram below for correct connection of the three phases (L1, L2, L3) and neutral (N). Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
Image Description: A detailed wiring diagram showing the connection points for the three phases (L1, L2, L3) and neutral (N) on the RTX DTS1419 energy meter. Input terminals are on the left, output terminals on the right. Each phase is clearly labeled with corresponding wire colors (brown, black, grey for phases, blue for neutral) and arrows indicating current flow.
- Power On: After verifying all connections, restore power to the circuit. The LCD display on the meter should illuminate.
2. App Connection (Tuya Smart Life)
- Download App: Download the "Tuya Smart Life" app from your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android).
- Register/Login: Open the app and register a new account or log in to an existing one.
- Add Device: In the app, tap the "+" icon to add a new device. Select "Electrical" > "Energy Meter (Wi-Fi)".
- Pairing Mode: On the RTX DTS1419 meter, press and hold the "SET" button until the network indicator light (blue LED) starts blinking rapidly. This indicates pairing mode.
- Connect to Wi-Fi: Follow the on-screen instructions in the app to connect the device to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Ensure your phone is also connected to the same 2.4 GHz network.
- Device Added: Once successfully paired, the network indicator light will become solid, and the device will appear in your Tuya Smart Life app.

Operating Instructions
1. Real-time Monitoring
Once connected to the Tuya Smart Life app, you can monitor various electrical parameters:
- Current Electrical Consumption (I): View the current draw in Amperes (A).
- Current Power Consumption (P): View the active power in Kilowatts (kW).
- Current Supply Voltage (V): View the voltage for each phase.
- Current Energy Consumption (kW.h): Track accumulated energy usage in kilowatt-hours.
The meter's LCD display also cycles through these values directly on the device.
Image Description: A close-up front view of the RTX DTS1419 Three-Phase DIN Rail Energy Meter. The LCD screen clearly displays "U 235.0", indicating a voltage reading of 235.0 Volts. Status indicator lights for Relay, Alert, Active, and Network are visible on the right side, along with the RTX and Tuya logos.
2. Remote Control
The Tuya Smart Life app allows you to remotely switch the power on or off for the connected circuit. This function activates the integrated relay within the meter.
- Open the device interface in the Tuya Smart Life app.
- Locate the "On/Off" toggle or button to control the power supply.
3. Energy Statistics and Archiving
The app provides independent energy consumption statistics for each phase and an archiving function for historical data. You can review daily, weekly, or monthly consumption trends.
Image Description: A screenshot of the Tuya Smart Life app interface, highlighting sections for "totalEle(kWh)" (total energy consumption) and "Gross generation(kWh)". This illustrates the app's capability to display both consumed and potentially generated energy data.
4. Prepayment Function
Set an energy limit within the Tuya Smart Life app. The device will notify you if this limit is exceeded, allowing for better energy budget management.
Image Description: A series of three screenshots from the Tuya Smart Life app. The first shows the main device interface. The second shows the "Expense management" screen with options for "Prepayment switch", "Balance energy", "Energy charge", and "Prepaid phone records". The third shows the device in an "Off" state, indicating remote control functionality.
5. Voice Control
Integrate the RTX DTS1419 with Google Home or Amazon Alexa for voice-activated control. Follow the instructions provided by Google Home or Alexa for connecting Tuya Smart Life devices.
- Enable the "Tuya Smart Life" skill/action in your voice assistant app.
- Link your Tuya account.
- Discover devices.
- Use voice commands such as "Alexa, turn off the main power" or "Hey Google, what is the energy consumption of the meter?" (Specific commands may vary based on setup).
6. Automatic Scenarios
Configure automated actions within the Tuya Smart Life app based on predefined measurement values. For example, you can set the device to automatically shut off if the voltage exceeds a safe limit.
- Navigate to the "Smart" or "Automation" section in the Tuya Smart Life app.
- Create a new automation.
- Set conditions based on voltage, current, or power readings from the DTS1419.
- Define actions, such as turning off the meter or sending a notification.
