Introduction to the TY-P190 (196) and Tuya Smart App

The TY-P190 (196) is a smart device designed to integrate seamlessly with your smart home ecosystem. It is controlled via the Tuya Smart App, a comprehensive application provided by Tuya for managing and automating various smart devices. The TY-P190 (196) offers advanced features, including the ability to define and apply custom parameter curves, allowing for dynamic control over device behavior over time.

The Tuya Smart App is available for both iOS and Android devices. It enables users to configure, monitor, and control their smart devices remotely, create custom scenes, set schedules, and integrate with voice assistants.

Getting Started: Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to set up your TY-P190 (196) device:

1. Download and Install the Tuya Smart App:

   Search for "Tuya Smart App" on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and install it on your smartphone or tablet. You can also scan the QR code provided in the original packaging (if applicable) to download the app.

2. Create or Log In to Your Tuya Account:

   Open the Tuya Smart App. If you are a new user, tap "Sign Up" to create a new account. If you already have an account, tap "Log In" and enter your credentials.

3. Power On the TY-P190 (196):

   Connect the TY-P190 (196) to a suitable power source according to its specific power requirements (refer to device markings or separate power adapter instructions). Ensure the device is in pairing mode. The indicator light on the device may blink to indicate it is ready for pairing.

Key Features and Functionality

The TY-P190 (196) offers several advanced features:

Curve Control

A primary feature of the TY-P190 (196) is its "Curve Control" capability. This allows users to define custom curves that dictate how specific device parameters change over a period of time. For example, this could be used to simulate natural light cycles, gradually adjust heating or cooling, or create dynamic lighting effects.

How Curve Control Works:

• Users access the "Curve Control" section within the TY-P190 (196) device settings in the Tuya Smart App.
• A graphical interface allows users to plot points on a timeline, defining target values for a parameter (e.g., brightness, color temperature) at specific times.
• The app then interpolates between these points to create a smooth curve.
• Users can save these curves and apply them to the device for automated, time-based adjustments.

Scheduling and Timers

Set specific times for the device to turn on or off, or to activate certain functions.

Scenes and Automations

Create custom scenes that involve multiple smart devices, or set up automations based on triggers (e.g., sunrise/sunset, sensor readings).

Remote Access

Control and monitor your TY-P190 (196) from anywhere in the world via the Tuya Smart App, provided you have an internet connection.

Using the Tuya Smart App Interface

After adding the TY-P190 (196), navigate to its control page within the Tuya Smart App. Here you will find:

• On/Off Control: A primary button to toggle the device's main function.
• Parameter Adjustments: Sliders, dials, or input fields to manually adjust parameters.
• Curve Editor: Access to create, edit, and apply custom parameter curves.
• Scheduling: Options to set timers and recurring schedules.
• Settings: Access to device information, firmware updates, and advanced configurations.

To create a custom curve:

1. Navigate to the device's control page.
2. Tap on the "Curve" or "Schedule Curve" option.
3. Select "Create New Curve".
4. Add points on the graph by tapping or dragging. Define the time and the target value for each point.
5. Save the curve and apply it to the device.

Troubleshooting and Support

If you encounter issues with your TY-P190 (196) or the Tuya Smart App, consider the following:

• Device Not Responding: Ensure the device is powered on and connected to your Wi-Fi network. Check your router and internet connection. Try restarting both the device and your router.
• App Connection Issues: Verify that your smartphone has a stable internet connection. Ensure the Tuya Smart App is updated to the latest version.
• Pairing Problems: Make sure the device is in pairing mode (check indicator light status). Confirm you are using the correct Wi-Fi password and a 2.4GHz network.
• Curve Control Not Working: Ensure the curve is correctly saved and applied. Check that the device's firmware is up to date.
