6. Operating Modes

The module supports various operating modes configurable via the Tuya Smart Life app:

• Self-Locking (On/Off) Mode: In this mode, pressing the button on the app (or the manual button on the module) once will turn the relay ON. Pressing it again will turn the relay OFF. This mode is suitable for controlling lights or other devices that require a continuous ON/OFF state.
• Momentary (Inching) Function: When activated, the relay will turn ON for a set duration (default 1 second) and then automatically turn OFF. The inching time can be adjusted from 1 second to 1 hour within the app. This is ideal for applications like garage door openers or electric strikes.
• Interlock Mode: This mode is designed for applications where only one device should be active at a time, such as controlling a motor with two directions (e.g., curtain motor). When one channel is turned ON, the other channel automatically turns OFF.
