4. Setup and Pairing

4.1 Initial Setup and Power Connection

Before connecting the module to your appliance, ensure the power source is disconnected. The module supports two power input options:

• AC/DC 7-32V: Connect the appropriate AC or DC voltage within this range to the designated power input terminals.
• USB 5V: Alternatively, you can power the module using a standard USB 5V power supply connected to the USB port.

Wire the appliance you wish to control to the relay output terminals (Normally Open, Common, Normally Closed) according to your specific application requirements. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your product packaging for detailed connection instructions.

4.2 Pairing with a Zigbee Gateway

Once the module is powered on, it will enter pairing mode. To connect it to your Zigbee gateway:

1. Ensure your Zigbee gateway is powered on and connected to your 2.4GHz WiFi network.
2. Open your smart home application (e.g., Tuya/Smart Life app) and navigate to the device addition section.
3. Initiate the device discovery process within the app or through your voice assistant (e.g., "Alexa, find devices").
4. The smart switch will be discovered and can then be added to your Zigbee network. Follow the on-screen prompts in the app to complete the pairing.
5. For optimal pairing, ensure the smart switch is physically close to your Zigbee gateway during this process.

5. Operating Modes

The Smart Relay Switch Module supports two primary working modes: Latching and Momentary. You can switch between these modes by pressing the mode button located on the board of the device.

5.1 Latching Mode (Self-locking)

In Latching mode, the relay acts like a traditional ON/OFF switch. When you send an ON command, the relay will close and remain closed until an OFF command is received. This mode is suitable for controlling lights, fans, or other appliances that require a continuous power supply until manually switched off.

5.2 Momentary Mode (Jog)

In Momentary mode, the relay will close for a brief period (typically a few hundred milliseconds to a few seconds, configurable in the app) and then automatically open. This mode is ideal for applications that require a brief pulse, such as garage door openers, electric gate controls, or triggering other momentary actions.

6. Voice Control and Smart Scenes

6.1 Voice Control

The Smart Relay Switch Module is fully compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Once paired with your Zigbee gateway and integrated into your smart home app, you can use voice commands to control your connected appliances.

• For Amazon Alexa: Say, "Alexa, turn on the [device name]" or "Alexa, turn off the [device name]."
• For Google Home: Say, "Hey Google, turn on the [device name]" or "Hey Google, turn off the [device name]."

6.2 Smart Scene Creation

You can create custom smart scenes within your smart home application to automate actions based on various triggers:

• Environmental Conditions: Trigger actions based on temperature, humidity, or other sensor data (requires compatible sensors).
• Time-based Schedules: Set devices to turn on/off at specific times or days.
• Departure/Home Modes: Automate actions when you leave or arrive home.
• Inter-device Linkage: Cooperate with other Zigbee products to achieve complex intelligent linkages.

Refer to your smart home app's documentation for detailed instructions on creating and managing smart scenes.

6.3 Family Sharing

Share control of your smart switch with family members through the smart home application. This allows multiple users to manage the connected devices, enhancing convenience for everyone in the household.
