4. Setup
4.1 Wiring Instructions
Before wiring, ensure the main power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker. Refer to the labels on the device for correct connections.
- L-IN: Live Input. Connect the live wire from your power source here.
- N-IN: Neutral Input. Connect the neutral wire from your power source here.
- N-Out: Neutral Output. Connect the neutral wire of the appliance to be controlled here.
- L-Out: Live Output. Connect the live wire of the appliance to be controlled here.
Note: For the AC DC 7-32V model, the output terminals (N-Out, L-Out) do not provide voltage output. They act as a dry contact switch, controlling the circuit of the connected appliance. For the AC 85-250V model, the output terminals provide switched AC voltage.
4.2 App Pairing (Tuya/Smart Life)
- Download the "Tuya Smart" or "Smart Life" app from your mobile device's app store.
- Register or log in to your account.
- Power on the Smart WiFi Switch. The Wi-Fi indicator light should blink rapidly, indicating pairing mode. If not, press and hold the pairing button on the device for 5-10 seconds until it blinks rapidly.
- In the app, tap "+" to add a device. Select "Electrical Switch" or "Circuit Breaker" (or similar category).
- Confirm the indicator is blinking rapidly and follow the on-screen instructions to connect to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
- Once connected, you can rename the device and assign it to a room.
4.3 RF433 Remote Pairing (Optional)
To pair an RF433 remote control (if applicable):
- Press the pairing button on the Smart WiFi Switch twice quickly. The indicator light will turn on briefly.
- Within 5 seconds, press any button on your RF433 remote control. The indicator light on the switch will blink to confirm successful pairing.
- To clear all paired RF433 remotes, press and hold the pairing button on the switch for approximately 10-15 seconds until the indicator light blinks rapidly and then turns off.
5. Operating
5.1 Working Modes
- Self-locking Mode: In this mode, a single press of the button (either on the app or RF remote) will toggle the switch state (ON/OFF). If it's ON, it stays ON until another press. If it's OFF, it stays OFF until another press.
- Inching Mode (Momentary): In this mode, the switch will turn ON for a brief period (e.g., 0.5-2 seconds, configurable in the app) after a button press, and then automatically turn OFF. This is suitable for applications like garage door openers or momentary triggers.
The working mode can typically be configured within the Tuya/Smart Life application settings for the device.
5.2 App Control
Once paired with the Tuya/Smart Life app, you can:
- Turn the connected appliance ON/OFF remotely from anywhere with an internet connection.
- Set schedules and timers for automatic operation.
- Create smart scenes to automate actions based on conditions (e.g., turn on lights when motion is detected).
- Share device control with family members.
- Integrate with Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice control (refer to the respective voice assistant app for setup instructions).
5.3 RF433 Remote Control
After pairing an RF433 remote, you can control the switch locally without Wi-Fi or internet access. The remote control distance is typically 10-50 meters in open areas.
6. Maintenance
The Smart WiFi Switch requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines:
- Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the device to prevent overheating.
- Regularly check wiring connections to ensure they are secure.
7. Troubleshooting
