nice video to show the capabilities of the app. I personally struggle with the huge delay of my tap-to-run widget, when I use it after a period of no action. I usually run around 10 seconds in darkness, before my lights will turn on, if the widget wasn't touched for a certain amount of time. Every consecutive instruction performs immediately but the first one always keeps me waiting xD

Hi Mr. Geek Street. Thanks for your video, I'm new to "Tuya Smart" app and got some valuable hints. However I'm strugling to connect my heating panel to the application... I was trying EZ mode without any success and found here the AP way; after selecting the device hotspot and step back, as you describe, the application keeps trying to connect to the device but finally throws to me a "wrong Wifi password" regarding hotspot. It never asks me for any password though. Do you have any idea what could be behind this epic fail? Ahh and btw, thanks also for that clean british accent, helps a lot ;)

@BradLambie 2 жыл бұрын
I have done this a few times. But with different methods 1. Simply setup your model with identical credentials and everything remains working as is. 2. (Only works if old model still functions) setup your new modem however you want. In the tuya app individually remove a device, it will then begin to fast blink. You can now pair to your new modem.

Great and comprehensive video! But I'm a bit confused now. I bought my first smart socket and I'm playing with automations. And automation like "if socket turned off then wait 10s and turn it on" works even with phone (and tuya app) off, but automation like "if power is less than 10W then turn it off" works only if the phone is on and tuya app is on the screen (can't be even in background). Is that normal? I couldn't find any information about that. What is point of automation when you have to manually start app so the automation can proceed :-)?

When you click Next at 13:44 I do not get the screen you get. It simply takes me back to the devices at 13:06. From there every screen is no different than if I had not selected a device or function at all. If I return to the device I just selected, which I set to On, it is not selected or On at all. Previous pagesIt's as if hitting next just wipes my selection. I updated the app, no change... So I loaded the TuyaSmart app and the results were identical. Any thoughts?

Hey ! Cool vid. Informative and to the point. I’ve set these bulbs (gu10) in my lounge and created a group. Basically did everything you say above. But how can I set all the bulbs (Downlights) to music scene? I can only do 1 bulb at a time? Would I need a zig bee hub? A smart life hub? Any help would be greatly appreciated ✌🏻
@rosiehawtrey Жыл бұрын
Group the bulbs - then set the scene of the group of bulbs using the group itself - that should work. The only issue you might have is group doesn't support bulb scenes. Other option is set up a automation or TTR that does them all separately and another to change out of music scene - then call that from Alexa or Google etc.

Your videos have answered a lot of my questions! Thanks! However, are smart life automations stored on the cloud or locally? Will they work without your phone at home? Without access to the cloud (ie if LAN is on but internet goes down)? Your wall switch hack is great - just want to make sure it will work as long as there is power in the house for the lights and router. Thanks!

Bit late but here is a great tip from someone who give tech support for such devices. Adding your tap-to-runs to Google Home Create tap-to-runs for all your desired settings (all on, all off, certain color modes or any specific combinations) and give the tap-to-runs a name you would tell Google assistant to activate it. If the Smart Life service is added to Google Home, you can use these as scenes in a custom Routine. "Hey google normal light" as a speech command will activate your tap-to-run "normal light" from the Smart Life app. Do this for all your tap-to-runs It can be a lot of work if you have a lot of lights and plugs etc but it is worth it. Love the video!

Hi. So I am not getting those multiple scene options on my lights in the tap to run drop down menu... On my smart recessed lights I can actually change the color within the tap to run settings, but on my strip lights I cannot. The options are only the modes, which is limited to white, color, or scene, and it’s not showing me the multiple scenes I have set up within each devices configuration. It only defaults to the last scene I had chosen in the device’s menu, or the last color I had selected when I choose the color mode, etc. This REALLY stops me from creating different lighting scenes. Can you offer any help or advice?

i cant change colour or scene that i want on Tap To Run.. There are only 4 modes, white, colour, scene, music. But you cant change colour mode to colour you want, same as scene mode..

Been trying to figure out for the longest time how to make a light change colors automatically based on weather conditions. Red for hot, blue for cold, etc. All the app lets me automate is on/off and brightness. No access to color mode through automation.

@@GeekStreet Thanks for you incredibly fast reply. This sound like the solution but how would I assign the lamps using the hotspot ( I can have hotspot on the iphone) because when I go to add any light it directly leads me to follow the local wifi network at home for set up without the option for the hotspot??

I did try send the hotspot to an iPad and of course the iPad then works using the cellular signal from the phone but then I downloaded the SL app on the iPad and can select the hotspot host and I get to the stage of the smart leds flashing and the app looking for the lights but they are not found maybe it is it is not a wifi 2.4 ghz signal??

Thanks for the video. So I have the flowing scenario, and need help to try and overcome my issue. I live in South Africa, and we have a thing called loadshedding, where the government is not able to produce enough electricity, so we run on a schedule where you get 2 hour power cuts on a schedule throughout the day 1-8 times depending on the stage of loadshedding. Now my issue, I have a very simple task where my smart plug turns on at 1pm to run my aquarium light and turns of at 9pm. Now let's say we have loadshedding from 12pm to 2pm, the trigger fails, and the plug does not turn on... And vice versa for turning off, resulting in the plug staying on after the power comes back on. What I need is a way for the divice to be on if it is between these time periods. Can this be done? Any other ideas?

I have a consumer that works with varying power. The socket has power monitoring. I want to implement a scheme to monitor if in a period of 10 minutes, the power is below a certain limit, to send me a message. I tried several options, and although my logic is correct, smartlife does not comply with it. I set an automation to start at reduced power and wait 10 minutes, then send a message. And another automation that monitors whether there is a return of this power to normal levels. In which case the first automation is disabled. The logic is correct, but still, the first automation manages to send its message. How to make it work.
