3. Setup Guide

3.1 Physical Connection

1. Power Connection: Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the gateway and plug the other end into a compatible USB power adapter (not included) or a USB port.
2. Network Connection: Connect one end of the provided LAN (RJ45) cable to the gateway's Ethernet port and the other end to an available LAN port on your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi router. Ensure your router operates on the 2.4 GHz frequency for optimal compatibility with Zigbee devices.

3.2 App Installation

Download the Smart Life or Tuya Smart application from your device's app store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store). Register or log in to your account.

3.3 Gateway Pairing

1. Ensure your smartphone is connected to the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network as your router.
2. Open the Smart Life or Tuya Smart app.
3. The app should automatically detect the new gateway. If not, tap the '+' icon to add a device and select 'Zigbee Gateway' or 'Gateway (Wired)'. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing process.

3.4 Sub-Device Pairing

Once the gateway is paired, you can add Zigbee sub-devices:

1. In the Smart Life or Tuya Smart app, navigate to your gateway and select 'Add Sub-device'.
2. Put your Zigbee sub-device into pairing mode (refer to the sub-device's specific manual for instructions, often involves pressing a reset or pairing button).
3. The app will search for and detect the sub-device. Confirm the addition.

3.5 Specific Example: Water Leak Detection System Setup

The ADAPTOR Zigbee Gateway can be integrated with water leak sensors and smart water valves for automated leak protection.

1. Connect the Smart Water Valve: Power the smart water valve and pair it with the gateway following the general sub-device pairing steps. The valve can be manually operated or controlled via the app.
2. Connect the Water Sensor: Install the battery in the water sensor (if applicable) and pair it with the gateway. The sensor can be placed in areas prone to leaks, such as under sinks or near appliances. A wired sensor mode is available to extend detection into tight spaces.
3. Set up Automation: In the Smart Life/Tuya Smart app, create an automation rule: If the water leak sensor detects water, then the smart water valve should close. This provides automatic water shut-off in case of a leak.

4. Operation

4.1 Controlling Devices

After pairing, all connected Zigbee devices can be controlled and monitored directly from the Smart Life or Tuya Smart app. You can turn devices on/off, adjust settings, and view their status from anywhere with an internet connection.

4.2 Smart Home Automation

The gateway enables advanced home automation tasks by collecting signals from sensors and sending instructions to connected devices via the Zigbee 3.0 protocol. You can create custom scenes and automation rules within the app, such as turning on lights when a motion sensor is triggered or adjusting temperature based on sensor readings.

4.3 Notifications

Receive instant push notifications on your smartphone for important events, such as when sub-devices are added, removed, updated, or when specific automation rules are triggered (e.g., water leak detected).

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Connectivity Issues

• No Connection: Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the gateway and your router. Verify that the router is powered on and functioning correctly.
• 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Requirement: The gateway requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network connection from your router. If your router uses both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with the same network name, consider separating them or ensuring your phone is connected to the 2.4 GHz band during setup.
• Power Supply: Confirm the gateway is receiving adequate power via the USB-C cable.

6.2 Device Discovery Problems

• Gateway Not Found: If the app cannot discover the gateway, ensure it is properly connected to power and the router. Try restarting the gateway by unplugging and re-plugging the power cable.
• Sub-Device Not Pairing: Ensure the sub-device is in pairing mode and within range of the gateway. Check the sub-device's manual for specific pairing instructions and reset procedures.

6.3 Indicator Light Status

The gateway features an indicator light. Refer to the Smart Life/Tuya Smart app or the manufacturer's online resources for a detailed explanation of different light patterns and their meanings (e.g., solid, blinking, color changes) to diagnose status or issues.
