Product technical characteristics
About Remote monitoring(Bluetooth version):
If you want to remotely monitor temperature and humidity, you must configure the sensor to Tuya Bluetooth Gateway or Tuya Multi-Mode gateway.If the mobile phone Bluetooth configure is used, the sensor has no remote monitoring or linkage function.If the mobile phone is directly connected, some Android phones need to turn on the GPS function (low-power Bluetooth is included in the GPS function)
About batteries
1. Only LR03-1.5V alkaline battery can be used (1.2V rechargeable battery may cause the equipment to detect wrong voltage and report low voltage)
2. Batteries of different models cannot be mixed
3. Batteries of different brands cannot be mixed
4. New and old batteries cannot be mixed
5. Do not use inferior batteries
Otherwise, 1. configuration failure, 2. battery consumption is too fast
How to obtain high-quality batteries or genuine batteries. Please buy them at regular supermarkets or chain stores over time
Note: After the device configuration is completed, it needs to be placed in a position where the wireless signal is good, otherwise the power consumption of connecting to the network will increase, which will lead to fast battery consumption
About Update Frequency:
1. The sensor uses a trigger mechanism. When the temperature or humidity changes to the set value, the sensor will report the data immediately. Generally, the data is updated once an hour.
2. The sensor cannot set the update report data frequency.
3. The sensor cannot set alarm. The alarm function is set on the APP.
NOTE:This function of Bluetooth version requires Tuya Bluetooth Gateway or Tuya Multi-Mode Gateway supported.
Error on temperature and humidity:
1. All temperature and humidity sensors will have certain errors, please note. The temperature error of this sensor is ± 1 ℃, and the humidity error is ± 5% RH. Any value within this range is normal.
2. The sensor error and manufacturing process will meet, and there will also be some errors between products of the same model.
3. According to Newton’s third law, heat conduction takes a certain time. The sensor needs 30 minutes or 1 hour to be consistent with the room temperature, and the measurement will be accurate.
Historical curve of temperature and humidity:
1. The minimum granularity of historical data (daily chart) is 1 hour, and the minimum granularity of exported data is also 1 hour.
2. Days of historical data are stored for 7 days.3. The value of historical data is the average value. That is, the average value of a minimum granularity time.
Support for third-party smart speakers:
1. Because the third-party smart speakers (Google Home/Amazon Alexa) do not have control panels corresponding to temperature and humidity sensors,Therefore, the APP of third-party smart speakers may not display the temperature and humidity correctly.But we have developed voice query function. Therefore, the current temperature and humidity can be queried by voice.
2. Route or automatic process related to temperature and humidity cannot be established on the third-party smart speakers.
3. The device does not support Yandex Alice.
NOTE:This function of Bluetooth version requires Tuya Bluetooth Gateway or Tuya Multi-Mode Gateway supported.
Trigger mechanism of temperature and humidity in automatic process:
We used Edge Triggered (ET)That is, the action can only be triggered if the condition crosses the set condition.
A: For example, turn on the light when the automatic setting temperature is greater than 25 ℃.A.
1. When the temperature rises from below 25 ℃ to 25 ℃, the automatic process can trigger the ON light.A.
2. After the automatic process is set, the temperature is always above 25 ℃, and the lamp is not turned on.
B: For example, when the automatic setting temperature is less than 20 ℃, turn on the light.B.
1. When the temperature drops from above 20 ℃ to 20 ℃, the automatic process can trigger the start lamp.B.
2. After the automatic process is set, the temperature is always below 20 ℃, and the lamp is not turned on.
NOTE:This function of Bluetooth version requires Tuya Bluetooth Gateway or Tuya Multi-Mode Gateway supported.
FAQ
Q: What are the necessary conditions for using it,if I purchase the WiFi version?
A: Firstly, you must have a smartphone to install the app. Secondly, you need WiFi at 2.4GHz and the WiFi router needs to be constantly online.
Q: What do I need to use Bluetooth version for remote monitoring?
A: You need a Tuya Bluetooth Gateway or a Tuya Multi-Mode Gateway. If connected directly via Bluetooth to Smart Phone, the communication distance is only about 10 meters.
Q: How do I know my WiFi router has a frequency of 2.4GHz?
A: Most routers come with a 2.4GHz frequency band, and this information is usually marked on the router’s nameplate. Some routers default to turning off the 2.4GHz frequency. Please refer to the router’s manual to turn on the 2.4GHz frequency.
Q: What do I need to pay attention to when installing it?
A: 1. Please ensure that the WiFi signal at the installation location is good. 2. Please ensure that it is in an open position and the air circulation is good. 3. Avoid installing in areas with heat sources or direct sunlight.
Q: What do I need to do when configuration fails, if I purchase the WiFi version?
A: 1. Check whether the remote control is powered on or not. And ensure that the indicator light of Smart IR Remote is in fast flashing mode.
2. Check whether your mobile device is connected to 2.4GHz WiFi network.
3. Ensure that Smart Life has Bluetooth permission and confirm that the phone has Bluetooth turned on (some phones have low-power Bluetooth in GPS, if so, please ensure that the location information is turned on)
4. Check your network connectivity, make sure the router is working properly.
5. Make sure the WiFi password entered is correct when adding remote control.
6. Confirm that the WiFi router does not have restricted access features, such as Mac address whitelist.
7. If WiFi 2.4GHz and 5GHz use the same SSID, you can try changing the name and have your smartphone connect to WiFi 2.4GHz.
8. If the configuration still fails, please turn off your phone’s Bluetooth, long press the Smart IR Remote Reset Button for 5 seconds to switch the device’s indicator light to slow flashing mode, and then add it using AP mode. Select the slow flashing indicator light option on the add page to enter AP mode, and the APP page will guide you through the operation.
Q: How should I configure my Smart Speaker / Amazon Alexa / Google Home / Yandex Alice ?
A: The sensor cannot directly connect to third-party smart speakers. They need to provide account links and support through the “Skill” function. You can use the following methods: Smart Life ->Me ->Third Party Services. But the necessary condition for these is that you have already configured Smart IR Remote to Smart Life. But please note, The Bluetooth version requires a Tuya Bluetooth gateway or Tuya multi-mode gateway to achieve this function.
Q: Can multiple people use it?
A: YES. There are two methods: 1. You can use the sharing function to share with your friends or family. 2. You can create a virtual home
on the app and invite your family or friends to join.
Q: What kind of battery can I use?
A: LR03-1.5V Alkaline battery. WiFi connections require a lot of power, so it is necessary to have a high-quality battery to maintain its normal operation, and our product has a low battery warning.
Q: Why does the network testing function on the device properties page always fail?
A: In order to save power, the sensor will shut down the network for sleep when it is not necessary. The network testing function requires the device to be online and requires power consumption for long-term testing, and the battery of the sensor cannot guarantee long-term operation. When testing the network, the sensor is sleeping, so it will fail, and we believe it is also meaningless. Of course, the sensor will start reporting data at a fixed time, or when the temperature or humidity changes exceed the set value, the triggering mechanism will wake up the sensor to start the network and send data.
Q: Why does the sensor sometimes display offline when I directly connect it to my Smart Phone, I purchased the Bluetooth version?
A:This sensor is powered by a battery, so we are focusing on power-saving. When there is little change in temperature and humidity, the sensor turns off Bluetooth for power-saving operation. In this case, the sensor open the Bluetooth network every hour to report data. But we also designed a triggering mechanism, when the temperature changes more than ±0.5 degrees Celsius or the humidity changes more than ±5% RH, the sensor will actively activate Bluetooth to report data. So sometimes you feel like it’s offline, but actually it’s still working.
Another situation is that the Bluetooth signal connection between your phone and device is very weak, and the typical transmission distance of Bluetooth is 10 meters.
Q: Why is pulling data very slow when I directly connect it to my phone, I purchased the Bluetooth version?
A: Because Bluetooth transmits data very slowly, if there is already a lot of data stored on the sensor, the time for obtaining the data may be a bit long, and you need to wait. In addition, after obtaining the data, it will be uploaded to Tuya’s cloud service, and then the chart data will be generated and sent back to your phone to display the chart. So please be patient and wait.
Q: Why did the connection to the Tuya multi-mode gateway fail, I purchased the Bluetooth version?
A: At present, the minimum requirement for the main networking module version of Tuya multi-mode gateway is V1.4.8. Please start the automatic upgrade of the gateway. If there is no upgrade option, please contact your supplier to push you the upgraded version.
Q: Why can’t I see the screen clearly after tilting?
A: YES. These types of screens all have an optimal viewing angle, and our product has the largest viewing angle among products of the same type. What is its viewing angle of 50 °.
Q: Why does the device seem to be locked and no longer report data when the backlight is turned on?
A: Yes, the device will be locked for a period of time after the backlight is turned on. Because the device heats up when the backlight is turned on, the data obtained by the sensor is not accurate. We have determined the locking time through testing, and we have confirmed that this situation will not affect usage based on actual household usage. Late data is better than incorrect data.
