Specifications

Setup

1. Physical Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure the main power supply to the circuit is turned OFF at the circuit breaker to prevent electrical shock.

The switch is designed for recessed installation in a standard wall box. The product dimensions are 8.6 cm x 8.6 cm, with a depth of 2.7 cm. The wall box should have a minimum depth of 35 mm and a diameter of 60 mm for proper fitting.

Wiring Instructions

The switch supports two types of wiring: with a neutral wire or without a neutral wire. Refer to the diagram below for correct connections.

Image: Two wiring diagrams for the smart switch. The left diagram illustrates wiring without a neutral wire, showing the Live Wire (red) connected to L1, L2, L3 terminals, and the Neutral Wire (blue) connected to the N terminal. An adapter is shown connected to the L1 lamp. The right diagram shows wiring with a neutral wire, where the Live Wire (red) connects to L1, L2, L3, and the Neutral Wire (blue) connects to the N terminal, with no adapter required. A warning states that the adapter must be connected to both ends of the L1 bulb regardless of the product purchased.

• Wiring with Neutral Wire: Connect the Live wire to the 'L' terminal, the Neutral wire to the 'N' terminal, and the load wires (to your lights) to 'L1', 'L2', 'L3' as appropriate for each gang. No capacitor is needed.
• Wiring without Neutral Wire: Connect the Live wire to the 'L' terminal and the load wires to 'L1', 'L2', 'L3'. A capacitor must be connected across the L1 lamp (between the Live and Load wires of the L1 circuit) to ensure stable operation.

After wiring, secure the switch into the wall box using the provided screws. Reattach the faceplate.

2. App Pairing

To enable smart features, you need to pair the switch with the Smart Life or Tuya app.

1. Download the Smart Life or Tuya Smart app from your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android).
2. Register or log in to your account.
3. Ensure your smartphone is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. The switch does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
4. Turn on the power to the switch at the circuit breaker. The switch's LED indicator should blink rapidly, indicating it's in pairing mode. If not, press and hold one of the touch buttons for 5-10 seconds until it blinks rapidly.
5. In the app, tap the '+' icon to add a device. Select 'Light Switch' or 'Wall Switch' from the device list.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the switch to your Wi-Fi network. You may need to confirm the blinking status of the LED.
7. Once successfully paired, you can rename the switch and assign it to a room within the app.

Operating Instructions

1. Basic Touch Control

Each gang on the switch has a touch-sensitive area. Simply tap the area to turn the connected light ON or OFF.

2. Voice Control

The CNBINGO Smart Switch is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing for hands-free control.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean the switch, gently wipe the glass panel with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the surface or internal components.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the Smart Life/Tuya app for available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
• Troubleshooting: If the switch is not responding, try restarting it by turning off the power at the circuit breaker for a few seconds and then turning it back on.

Troubleshooting

• Switch not responding to touch: Ensure power is supplied to the switch. If the LED indicator is off, check the circuit breaker. If the LED is on but unresponsive, try a power cycle (turn off/on at breaker).
• Cannot connect to Wi-Fi:
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. 5 GHz networks are not supported.
  • Check that your Wi-Fi password is correct.
  • Move your router closer to the switch or ensure a strong Wi-Fi signal.
  • Reset the switch to pairing mode (LED blinks rapidly) and try pairing again.
• Lights flicker or do not turn off completely (without neutral wire): Ensure the capacitor is correctly installed across the L1 lamp. This is crucial for stable operation in non-neutral wire setups.
• Voice control not working:
  • Verify that the Smart Life/Tuya skill is enabled in your Alexa/Google Home app and linked to your account.
  • Ensure the device name in the Smart Life/Tuya app matches the name you are using for voice commands.
  • Check your internet connection.
• Multi-control not functioning: Ensure all switches intended for multi-control are correctly linked within the Smart Life/Tuya app.
