• Sensors Not Triggering Alarm: Check if the sensors are properly paired with the alarm host via the Smart Life app. Ensure the sensor components are correctly aligned (for door/window sensors) or have a clear detection path (for motion detectors). Verify sensor battery levels.
• No App Notifications: Confirm that the Smart Life app has notification permissions enabled on your smartphone. Check your phone's internet connection.
• Alarm Too Quiet/Loud: Adjust the siren volume settings through the Alarm Host interface or the Smart Life app.
