4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Placement

Place the water leak detectors in areas prone to water leaks, such as:

• Under kitchen sinks or dishwashers
• Near washing machines or water heaters
• In bathrooms, near toilets or bathtubs
• In basements or utility rooms

4.2 Leak Detection and Alerts

The water leak detector features two sensitive probes on its bottom surface. When these probes detect water, the device will:

• Emit a 75dB "beep" alarm sound.
• Its LED indicator will blink quickly.
• Send real-time notifications to your smartphone via the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app.

To mute the local alarm, simply pick up the detector from the water. The app notifications will continue until the sensor is dry.

4.3 Advanced Notification Options

In addition to free in-app notifications, email and SMS notification services are available (may incur charges) for enhanced home protection.

If your Wi-Fi connection is lost, the smart water sensor will still emit a loud 110dB local alarm to ensure you are alerted to any water leaks.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

After a water detection event, ensure the sensor probes on the bottom of the device are completely dry to clear the alarm and reset the sensor. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the sensor clean.

5.2 Battery Replacement

The water leak detector uses a CR-2032 Lithium Metal battery. When the battery level is low, the app will typically notify you. To replace the battery:

1. Turn the top cover counter-clockwise to open the device.
2. Carefully remove the old CR-2032 battery.
3. Insert a new CR-2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
4. Close the top cover by turning it clockwise.
