4.2 App Installation and Device Pairing

Download the App: Search for "Tuya Smart" or "Smart Life" in your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android) and install it.
Register/Log In: Open the app and register for a new account or log in with an existing one.
Add Device: Ensure your smartphone is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Open the battery compartment of the sensor and press the reset button for 5-7 seconds until the indicator light blinks rapidly. In the app, tap the "+" icon to add a device. The app may automatically detect the sensor via Bluetooth for quick pairing. If not, manually select "Sensor" > "PIR Sensor (Wi-Fi)" or similar.
Connect to Wi-Fi: Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the sensor to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted.
Device Added: Once successfully paired, the indicator light will stop blinking and remain solid for a moment, then turn off. The device will appear in your app's device list.

4.3 Placement and Mounting

The sensor comes with a 360° rotating base, allowing for flexible installation. Consider the following for optimal performance:

Detection Area: The sensor has a 128° wide-angle detection and a maximum range of 10 meters. Position it to cover the desired area without obstructions.
Avoid Heat Sources: Do not place the sensor near heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight, air conditioning vents) as this can cause false alarms.
Mounting Options:

Image 4.3.1: Flexible Installation Options. This image illustrates how the motion sensor can be installed on a ceiling, wall, or placed on a flat surface, with its adjustable angle feature.

Wall Mount: Use the included screws or adhesive tape to attach the base to a wall. The sensor can then be clicked onto the base and adjusted up/down by 45° and rotated 360°.
Ceiling Mount: The base can also be mounted on a ceiling for overhead detection.
Flat Surface: The sensor can be placed directly on a shelf, table, or cabinet without mounting.

5.2 App Features

The Tuya Smart/Smart Life app provides comprehensive control and monitoring capabilities:

Real-time Status: View the current motion status (motion detected/no motion).
Event History: Access a record of all detected motion events with timestamps.
Battery Level: Monitor the battery status of the sensor.
Alert Settings: Customize notification preferences for motion detection and low battery.
Smart Scenarios: Create automation rules to link the motion sensor with other compatible smart devices (e.g., turn on lights when motion is detected, or turn off lights after a period of no motion).

6. Maintenance

6.1 Battery Replacement

When the app indicates a low battery level, replace the 2 AAA batteries. To do this, detach the sensor from its mounting base, open the battery compartment, remove the old batteries, and insert new ones with correct polarity. Close the compartment and reattach the sensor to its base.

6.2 Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the sensor lens and the device exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the sensor or casing.

7. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Device not connecting to Wi-Fi / App	Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. The sensor does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Check Wi-Fi signal strength at the sensor's location. Make sure the sensor is in pairing mode (indicator light blinking rapidly). If not, press the reset button. Restart your router and try pairing again.
No motion detection / Delayed detection	Check battery level in the app. Replace batteries if low. If using battery power, there might be a slight delay (a few seconds) in detection as the sensor conserves power. For faster response, use USB power. Ensure the sensor lens is clean and unobstructed. Verify the sensor's placement covers the desired area and is not facing heat sources.
False alarms / Too sensitive	Reposition the sensor away from direct sunlight, heating/cooling vents, or areas with frequent air currents. Ensure pets are not triggering the sensor if placed too low. The sensor's sensitivity is generally fixed. Adjusting its placement is the primary method to manage sensitivity.
Sensor stopped working after some time	Check power source (batteries or USB connection). Attempt a device reset by pressing the reset button. If issues persist, remove and re-add the device in the app.
Long reset time between detections	The sensor has a built-in reset period (typically 15-18 seconds after no motion is detected) before it can trigger a new alert. This is normal behavior to prevent excessive notifications.
Subscription required for features	Basic app notifications and event history are typically free. Certain advanced features, such as SMS alerts or cloud storage for integrated cameras, may require a separate subscription from the app provider (Tuya/Smart Life).
