Installation Guide
Installation typically involves replacing your existing radiator valve manually. It is crucial to turn off the water supply to the radiator and drain the system before proceeding. The TRV is then screwed onto the radiator valve body. Adapters may be included or available to ensure compatibility with various valve types (e.g., M30x1.5mm, Danfoss). For detailed instructions and visual guidance, please refer to the specific diagrams provided in the full manual. If you are uncertain about the installation process, it is recommended to consult a qualified professional.
Diagram Description: A typical installation diagram would illustrate the removal of an old valve and the attachment of the new TRV, often with arrows indicating connection points and rotation direction.
Operation and Control
Mobile App Control
The primary interface for managing your TRV is the Tuya Smart or Smart Life mobile application, available for both iOS and Android devices. Within the app, you can set detailed heating schedules, adjust target temperatures, create custom heating modes, and monitor the device's status and battery level. The app's main screen usually displays current temperature, setpoint, and battery status, with intuitive controls for manual adjustments and access to advanced settings.
Diagram Description: A visual representation of the app interface might show a temperature dial, mode selection buttons (e.g., Auto, Manual, Boost), and icons for scheduling and settings.
Voice Control
Enhance convenience by linking your TRV to compatible voice assistants. By connecting your Tuya account to Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Yandex Alice, you can control your heating using simple voice commands. For example: "Alexa, set the living room radiator to 21 degrees Celsius," or "Hey Google, increase the bedroom temperature by 2 degrees."
Device Interface
The TRV unit itself features a compact LCD screen that clearly displays the current room temperature and the desired setpoint. Physical buttons on the device allow for direct manual temperature adjustments and access to basic operational modes.
Icon Description: The device interface typically includes buttons for increasing (➕) and decreasing (➖) temperature, a mode selection button (⚙️), and a battery indicator (?).
Connectivity
The TRV offers versatile connectivity options. It can connect directly to your home's 2.4GHz WiFi network. Alternatively, for users with an existing Zigbee ecosystem, the device supports Zigbee 3.0, requiring a compatible Zigbee gateway (sold separately) to bridge it to your smart home network. Zigbee connections are known for their low power consumption and mesh networking capabilities.
