Setting Up Smart Scenes & Automations

Within the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app, you can create "Scenes" or "Automations."

• Use the sensor as a condition (e.g., "If Temperature > 78°F").
• Set an action for other compatible smart devices (e.g., "Then turn on Smart Plug connected to AC").
• This allows for automatic climate control based on the sensor's readings.

Using Voice Control

1. Ensure your sensor is successfully added to the Tuya/Smart Life app.
2. Link your Tuya/Smart Life account to your Amazon Alexa or Google Home app in the respective app's "Skills & Games" or "Works with Google" section.
3. Discover devices. Your sensor should appear as a device.
4. You can now ask questions like:
   • "Alexa, what's the temperature in the living room?"
   • "Hey Google, what's the humidity in the bedroom?"

Troubleshooting

• Device Won't Connect to Wi-Fi:
  • Ensure you are using a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, not 5 GHz.
  • Check that your Wi-Fi password is entered correctly in the app.
  • Move the sensor closer to your Wi-Fi router during setup.
  • Restart the sensor by removing and reinserting the batteries.
• No Data in App / Device Offline:
