Smart Phone Installation Guide
WiFi Connection Set-Up
This unit can notify your cell phone when there is an alarm. To do this, the unit must be connected to your local WiFi.
To start, make sure to:
- Download the TuyaSmart/Smart Life app and connect the alarm to your Wi-Fi via the app. Search for TuyaSmart/Smart Life in the App Store or Google Play, or scan the included QR code to install the TuyaSmart/Smart Life app. You will also need to register an account.
- Know your Wi-Fi network name and password.
- Make sure you are connecting alarms to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. (incompatible with 5GHz Wi-Fi network).
- Make sure the Bluetooth on your phone is turned ON.
How to Wi-Fi Connect?
- Activate the CO detector.
- Press the Test/Silence button four times until the green light is blinking. Red light will blink first then will change to green.
- Open the TuyaSmart/Smart Life app, tap the "+" icon in the top right corner of the "Home" page, or directly tap “Add Device” to add the device.
- When found the device will show “FORENSICS CO Detector". Select it.
- Then confirm and enter your Wi-Fi Information.
- Once you have successfully connected your device to the app, you can continue to the "Settings" section to set up push notifications.
- To test a push notification, we recommend pressing the test button to enter the TEST MODE. This will send a push notification to ensure your alarm notifications are working. This will send a “test” Battery Power Notification to your phone for test purposes.
Not connecting?
- Unsuccessful connection may be because your router, mobile phone, and alarm are not as close to each other as possible, you have incorrectly entered your Wi-Fi password, or the Bluetooth on your phone is not enabled.
- If your home Wi-Fi router is a 2.4 and 5 GHz dual-band that works with a single SSID name, please refer to your Wi-Fi router manual to create separate SSIDs for the 2.4 and 5 GHz channels. Must use the 2.4GHz SSID.
