3.2. Physical Installation

The sensor consists of two parts: the main sensor unit and a smaller magnetic strip. These two parts must be installed close to each other on a door or window frame.

1. Clean Surface: Ensure the installation surface on your door/window frame is clean and dry.
2. Attach Adhesive: Peel the backing from the 3M adhesive tape and attach it to the back of both the main sensor unit and the magnetic strip.
3. Position Sensor: Attach the main sensor unit to the fixed part of the door or window frame.
4. Position Magnetic Strip: Attach the magnetic strip to the moving part of the door or window, aligning it with the main sensor unit. The gap between the two parts should be less than 2 cm (0.79 inches) when the door/window is closed. Alerts are triggered for gaps over 2 cm.
5. Test Installation: Open and close the door/window to verify that the sensor detects the change and sends a notification to your app.

4. Operating Instructions

Once installed and paired, the Clouree B69W-1 sensor operates automatically.

• Monitoring: The sensor continuously monitors the open/close status of the door or window it is attached to.
• Real-time Alerts: When the status changes (e.g., door opens), a notification is immediately sent to your linked mobile application.
• App Interface: Open the "Tuya" or "Smart Life" app to view the current status of your sensor, review event history, and manage settings.
• Silent Operation: The sensor itself does not emit an audible alarm. All alerts are delivered silently to your mobile device. To hear alerts, ensure your phone's volume and notification settings are configured appropriately.

  • Ensure the gap between the main sensor unit and the magnetic strip is less than 2 cm when closed.
  • Check the battery level of the sensor in the app. Replace batteries if low.
• Sensor Offline in App:
  • Check the sensor's batteries.
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is operational.
  • If the sensor is far from the router, consider repositioning it or using a Wi-Fi extender.
