6. Setup
6.1. Electrical Installation
WARNING: Ensure the main power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker before beginning any electrical work. Incorrect wiring can cause damage to the thermostat, the heating/cooling system, or lead to electrical shock.
- Mounting: The thermostat can be mounted directly on a wall or installed in a standard 503 electrical box (without recessing). Use the provided mounting bracket and screws.
- Power Supply: The thermostat requires a phase wire (L) and a neutral wire (N) for power (90-240 Vac). This thermostat cannot replace a battery-powered unit without providing a direct power supply.
- Boiler Connection: The NO (Normally Open) and COM (Common) terminals connect to your boiler. These are clean contacts. Before connecting, verify that your boiler has a passive output for thermostat connection.

6.2. App and Wi-Fi Configuration
After physical installation and power-up, configure the thermostat with your smartphone:
- Download App: Download the "Smart Life" or "Tuya" app from your smartphone's app store (available on App Store and Google Play).
- Register/Login: Create an account or log in to the app.
- Add Device: Follow the in-app instructions to add a new device. The process typically involves putting the thermostat into pairing mode (refer to the thermostat's display for pairing indicators) and connecting it to your home's 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
- Quick Configuration: The configuration process usually takes less than 2 minutes.
7. Operation
7.1. Manual Control
You can adjust the temperature directly on the thermostat's display using the up and down arrow buttons. Press the mode button to switch between manual and automatic modes.

8. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the thermostat's display and casing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray directly onto the device.
- Firmware Updates: Periodically check the "Smart Life" or "Tuya" app for available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
- Power Cycle: If the thermostat becomes unresponsive, try turning off the power at the circuit breaker for a few minutes, then restore power.
9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Thermostat not powering on. | No power supply; incorrect wiring. | Check circuit breaker. Verify L and N wiring connections are secure and correct (refer to Section 6.1). |
| Cannot connect to Wi-Fi. | Incorrect Wi-Fi password; 5GHz network; thermostat too far from router. | Ensure correct 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and password. Move thermostat closer to router or use a Wi-Fi extender. Restart router and thermostat. |
| Heating/Cooling not activating. | Incorrect wiring to boiler/actuator; system in wrong mode; temperature differential not met. | Verify NO/COM wiring to boiler (Section 6.1). Ensure thermostat is in heating/cooling mode. Check if set temperature is sufficiently different from ambient temperature. |
| Inaccurate temperature reading. | Sensor calibration needed; thermostat exposed to direct sunlight or drafts. | Calibrate the temperature sensor via the app (Section 7.8). Relocate thermostat if it's in an unsuitable position. |
| App not responding or showing incorrect status. | App glitch; internet connectivity issue; thermostat offline. | Close and reopen the app. Check your phone's internet connection. Verify the thermostat's Wi-Fi connection. Power cycle the thermostat. |
