The Tuya WiFi Remote Control (Item No. TC196) is a versatile device designed to enable remote operation of automatic gate openers and other compatible systems via a smartphone. This remote control offers the convenience of managing your gate from anywhere, at any time, as long as you have 3G/4G/WiFi connectivity. Beyond gate openers, it can also be utilized for various other applications, such as controlling garden/lawn maintenance equipment, granting access to delivery personnel, or facilitating emergency access. Its design emphasizes ease of installation and use, coupled with reliable performance.
The primary function of the TC196 is to bridge the gap between your physical gate opener and your smartphone, allowing for remote control through a dedicated mobile application. Once connected to your home WiFi network, the device translates commands from the app into radio frequency signals that your gate opener understands. The remote control effectively mimics the functionality of a traditional gate opener remote, offering four distinct buttons (A, B, C, D) on its main operation interface. These buttons correspond to the four buttons typically found on a standard gate/door opener remote control.
The TC196 can be programmed to control up to four swing gate openers or a combination of one sliding gate opener and two swing gate openers. When programmed to a sliding gate opener, button B can activate a midway mode, provided the gate is in the fully closed position. It's important to note that swing gate openers do not support a midway mode. The device operates by receiving power from a 9-24VAC/DC source, and it comes equipped with an adapter for easy plug-in power. The output frequency of the remote control is 433.92MHz, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of gate openers.
The TC196 is designed for intuitive use through the "TUYA Smart" application, available on both iOS and Android platforms.
