Installation Instructions
- Safety First: Before installation, ensure the circuit is powered off. Pay attention to correct connections; if unsure, seek help from a specialist.
- Connect to WiFi: Connect the device to your local WiFi network.
- App Installation: Download and install the "Tuya Smart" application from the Play Store or AppStore.
- Account Login/Registration: Log in to your existing user account or register a new one by entering your details.
- Device Recognition: Once the garage door controller is connected to a power source, the application should automatically recognize it. Follow on-screen instructions to add the device to your profile, name it, and set its room location (useful for multiple identical devices).
- Factory Reset (if needed): If the application doesn't automatically recognize the controller, press the button on the side of the device for 5-6 seconds to factory reset it. The device will then enter pairing mode, and you can try to find it again using the application.
- Controller Connection: Connect the controller to the appropriate port of the garage opener motor, ensuring proper insulation. Refer to the technical description of your garage opener motor for correct wiring. Identify and use the connection ports for the wall switch that controls opening/closing.
- Controller Mounting: Attach the controller to the top and side of the motor using the self-adhesive tape. Ensure that moving parts of the gate do not come into contact with the controller or its cables.
- Sensor Cable Routing: Guide the opening sensor cable in the middle, past the rack to the door. Use the included cable guide, cable fasteners, and cable ties for fastening. Ensure the cable is placed to prevent accidental mechanical damage.
- Sensor Placement: Place the opening sensor in the upper middle part of the garage door. Before sticking the sensor, test that the device detects opening and closing (check status in the application). The ideal distance between the two units is 3-15 mm.
- Sensor Attachment: When the door is closed, stick the cabled sensor part to the console/wall and the cableless magnetic unit to the garage door. Fasten with a screw, using included angle irons if necessary.
Maintenance Features
