yep, if you need one, just let me know

Hi, 1st of all your IR remote control must be Tuya/Smartlife compatible, which means your App can control the air-con operation. If that is the case, you would create a new Automation scene - When device status changes (ie window open) then Turn OFF air-con. Hope this helps

@@stevendigitalbutler I didn't succeed on the first try, the IR remote controller works, I can turn the air conditioner on and off, but it doesn't work with the door & window sensor. I turned ON the option, maybe I should have turned OFF. When the door is opened to turn off the air conditioner. And I don't know what function GROUP has. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I am not sure how your set up is but based on the above, it seems that you have a door sensor and a window sensor and if either one open, you need the switch off the air-con. is this correct? If it is, then may be look at the automation scene, under the IF section, make sure that either condition can trigger the OFF sequence. If you set it to ALL, then both the door and window needs to be open before the air-con OFF sequence will be triggered

@@stevendigitalbutler Hello, there is no all option on my Smart Life application, there is only ON and OFF, and during the test the sensor stopped showing the status of whether it is connected or disconnected. Maybe I should delete everything and try reinstalling or try the Tuya Smart app. I have a house for rent to tourists, I have 4 air conditioners, 4 IR controllers and I need to install 6 sensors. Now I'm only trying one sensor for one room. Guests open the window and turn on the air conditioner. Your video on youtube and your help mean a lot to me. Thank you very much.

Hi, how many sensors do you have in a room. Just windows or windows and door? The ALL condition met is usually right under the IF word. Assuming you only have 1 window sensor and when it is open, then you want to switch off the air-con - automation should start with "when device status change" and action (THEN section) should be switch off air-con. Since you say you now no longer can see the sensor, it might be a good idea to delete both devices and pair them again. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes

You are welcome. Good luck. BTW, where did you get your device from?

@@stevendigitalbutler I purchased it from iTeraCare Colorado.

Great as long as it is the original, you'll be fine. Update me on how it works for you.

Hi, I saw your message about the red classic but can't seem to find it in the message. Anyway, As long as you bought it from an authorised agent and the red classic has Prife printed on it, you should be getting the original with 1-year warranty. Follow the protocol and note the contraindications when using your iTeraCare.

Hi, you have an interesting situation. 1st of all, when I try to use location on my Smartlife App, it says that this function is still in Beta, which means there may be some bugs in it. My App only allow me to restrict the zone in a 100 m radius. At 100 m, you most likely need to leave the house before the scene triggers. No 2: when you are on Phone 2 you can see Switch 1 and OverCharge Switch, which suggest that the 2 switches are from different manufacturers. But you can access either one. All you need to do is to name properly? if you already name them Switch 1 and Switch 2 and Switch 2 is showing as OverCharge Switch - this I have no explanation. the problem is - when you are trying to set Phone 2 with Switch 2: the confusion seems to be not knowing which switch to turn off - so can you just pull out Switch 1 from the power socket? This way when you are setting up Phone 2, you should only see 1 switch (and it should be Switch 2). Sorry, couldn't be much help. Do keep me inform if you can figure it out. Oh one more thing! can you check if Phone 2 has location turn ON and the App have permission to access location?

@@stevendigitalbutler First thing I checked was if the Location option on. Honestly, I have no Idea what the "Overcharge" option do. Everything is just as you described in Tuya, as it is in Smart life. Maybe, because it's in beta , they are still working on it. When I'm setting Phone 1 I have only "switch 1" listed, but when I'm setting up Phone 2, I still have "Switch 1" listed, not "switch 2", and also the "Overcharge" as a second option, but no clue what it does. And I left with both phones to check it out, so I could see if any of the plugs where on, or off, and as I said, mine turned off, the other one, no change.

Can you also set Switch 2 to Switch OFF when you leave room 1?

@@stevendigitalbutler I don't see "switch 2". I have only "switch 1", and "Overcharge" on second phone... I give up. I'm not smart enough to figure it out.😏

@@stevendigitalbutler I just tried that, adding to the same scene on phone 2 Now there was one more action... 1st is "Switch 1" and second says "Child lock". I have no idea what it means. The biggest problem of figuring this thing out, is you have to go 100m out to see if it did anything. Plus, someone else needs to use phone 2 as well.

You are welcome, glad it helps

Hi @hanneke5988, unfortunately I have not come across any testimony with your specific issues. If you have treated the Lyme, then the iTeraCare should help with your recovery. By the way, which country are you from?

Thanks for the feedback. Will lower background volume on the next video

00:48 Sharing individual smart device - This is the timeline in the video that shows you how to share a single device. Is this what you are looking for?

@@stevendigitalbutler No worries, I've got it.

@@rafraf4725could you fix it ?

@@rafraf4725 Great! Hope I managed to help.

@@stevendigitalbutler Hey bud, maybe you will be able to help me with this one. I shared one of my plugs with my mothers phone. Everything is fine, but when I'm trying to set a scene, which turns off the plug when she leaves, and turns it on when she returns, and I want to set it just for her phone and this plug. I have it set up on my own phone, and it works well. It shuts of my plug when I leave, and turns it on when I return. But when I do the same on her phone, and after setting conditions, and hitting option "THEN", I have no plugs listed to assign this condition to her plug. I've made a vid to maybe explain it better (sorry for my broken English, but maybe it'll help.) th-cam.com/video/EWZdx5lN_Fg/w-d-xo.html

Hi, across which App are you referring to?

Sorry, I don't quite understand. If you have notification set to ON, you should get an in-App notification, even if you are not at home. If that is not what you meant, please explain more.

@@stevendigitalbutler Thank you very much for your effort. I have since reinstalled it in the Smart Life app, with Bluetooth turned off, and so it now sends a message when it detects motion.

Which 2 apps you are referring to? If you are thinking of Tuya and Smartlife, I think not. In order to pair it with a new App, you need to set it to pairing mode and I think that wipe all old setting. I personally have not test it like that before. If you are going to try it, please let me know if you can pair with both Tuya and Smartlife App and can use either to control a device. Good luck

@@stevendigitalbutler I've tried that, I installed them both "Tuya" and "SmartLife", but when I'm trying to pair a second one, it disables the first one.

Hi @jaredchew21, unfortunately, the Tuya or Smartlife app does not have a way to tell if you are at home. There are 2 possible way I can think of, that may solve your problem: 1) Set your automation to only turn on lights when door open. There will be no turning off lights the next time you open the door. So, this way it will not turn off by the door sensors, but you will need to manually turn it off when you leave the house. 2) If your schedule is fairly fix, you can set the automation to only run at a certain time. Assuming you usually reach home at 7 - 8 pm. You only have the automation to run at those time. Once it is out of the time range, opening and closing the door would affect your lights. Hope that helps and if anyone have any other ideas, please share it here too.

hi @alfonsuswasono7618, Unfortunately No, you can't use the SmartLife App for your P100

Thank you!

Can you see your PIR in the Smartlife App? Note that it does not happen instantiously, usually it need 3-10 seconds as the instruction needs to come from Smartlife's server.

@@stevendigitalbutler You are still replying even though the video is from year ago, it is so rare to see these day. Thank you for being kind.

@@bringitlite8065 Thanks for the encouragement. I started this channel to share and help if I can. Although I have not been posting new videos due to other projects, the objective remains. Glad to help, whenever possible

Hi, you need to check with the bulb's manuals to see which App it support and then download the relevant App. Not all bulbs uses the Smartlife or Tuya App

@@stevendigitalbutler okey .thanks

@@pankajrajput. You are welcome.

go to your motion sensor setting in the App and turn off Motion Alarm

Hi, will need more information to try to see how I can help but if you have ther correct app and you are using Wifi devices, the most common reason for not able to pair would be that your device is not connected to a 2.4 Ghz Wifi.

Hi, there are some lights that is only white to warm white, which means you do not have the 16 millions colours option. Check to see if yours is one of those. You can also check the App and see what options was included by the manufacturer.

Hi, I am not sure what bulb was sent, some bulbs do have both Wifi and Bluetooth build-in. But they are primarrily a wifi bulb. In my case it works with the Tuya/Smartlife app. So if my wifi is out, I can still switch ON/OFF the builb using Bluetooth. So I think the question is, the bulb competible with the App you are using? You will need an App to change colours or setting. Hope this helps

You are most welcome.

Hi, I don't think there is a function to activate the PIR sensor but you can set timing on any automation you want to run. In my example, when the PIR senses motion it switches ON the light. You can set the time range where that automation is active, fro example: on runt he automation from 6 pm to 6 am the next day. Hope this help

@@stevendigitalbutler Thanks a lot

Hi @mattshih5653, Usually turning ON lights after "x" minutes after motion is detected is possible, just add a delay timer befroe switching the lights. But switch OFF, I have not find away to do date from the App. We are using the device status change setting to turn ON or OFF but there is no way of saying turn OFF light after "x" minutes, only if no motion is detect. The delay function wouldn't work because there is no looping function that say after "x" if there is still motion, don't switch off light and wait for another "x" minutes to test for no motion. My motion detection runs on a 30 seconds cycle, which means it will check for motion every 30 seconds after the light is switched ON. If no want is in the room after 30 seconds, it will automatically switch OFF the light. But if you are still in the room, it will still switch OFF the light but immediately switch it back ON. If you are there for a long time, this can my annoying.

Hi @joseph-ci3hl You should be able to create an automatic scene when your motion sensor detects motion then Send notification and select Message Center > ON then NEXT. Then select the Validity Scope and select Effective Period and you should be able to set the time where you want the motion sensor to send you a message. I personally have not try this but that seems to be workable. Do give it a go and let me know if it works for you.

thank you for your feedback

Hi, Unfortunately, I don't think that it is possible. The door sensor doesn't seems to appear in the automation or tap-to run section. Looks like only way to do it now is to switch the notification ON or OFF manually. I'll keep looking and if I find a solution, I'll update this here. Should you find a solution, please also post back. Good luck

I have worked out a way. In the door contact settings, it had four alerts set Door Alarm, Low Battery, Closing reminder and Tamper Alarm. I turn off the Door Alarm and Closing reminder. The I create a new scene in Smart Life and call it Alarm. I set up two conditions i.e. when door alarm is off and door alarm is on, then activate Message centre. This scene can be enabled or disabled on the scene screen. When disabled, no alert is sent for the door on/off or reminder. When enabled I get a notification for the door on/off. That seems to work fine.. @@stevendigitalbutler

@TravellingVikings Thanks for the update. that is a good scene. I will definately give it a try.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll relook at it and do an update video in the future.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your support

Is your new router Wifi 6? I have not tried it, but devices seem to have problems connecting via Wifi 6 router. Some say that disabling the AX function in the router might work. Again, I have no experience with this. The only thing I suggest is to go through Tuya and or device manufacture documents and see if they mentioned anything on this. Here is a site where, hopefully, you can find an answer. Please let me know if you find a solution. Good luck

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, for this video, the music is part of the audio track. I will either find a more suitable track fro my next video or maybe just do without music. I appreciate you feedback. Have a nice day.

Hi, as long as your alarm system is Tuya completible, than Yes, you should be able to set off the alarm.

Thank you for your kind words. For 'Motion Alarm' - this is assuming that you do not have an alarm in your setup and you are just using the App: the model I tested does not give an audible alarm from the phone. Just a push notification and vibrate when motion is detected. I am not sure if another manufacturer has an audible alarm coming from the App. As for schedule to turn the alarm on or off, I have not been able to send any smart scene to do that. sorry couldn't be more helpful. If you do get it to work, please let me know.

thanks for the feedback, will try to do without music on my next video. As for turning on lights after sunset, go to the Scene>Automation tab. then the "+" icon at top right. Select"When weather changes">Sunset/sunrise>Sunset> then select the timing you prefer>save. Then "Next". In the "Then" section click on the "+" icon and select the device(s) you want to activate. If you have many lights to switch on, I suggest you make a group 1st and then just activate the group. Hope this helps

It depends on the manufacturer, some do say Open/Close

I am assuming that you will get a new WiFi router from the new provider. If that is so, as long as you use the same password and SSID to access your router, you will not need to reset the Smart Life App. It should work as though nothing has happened. Give it a try and let me know how it goes. Good luck

Unfortunately the version shown in this video, you cannot adjust the distance of the sensor range. I heard the Aqara FP2 can set distance but I have not try it before. You might want to check it out. If you do get it, please let me know what you think of it

Hi, these are Wifi only devices. As long as you have an internet connect and a router, you are good to go. No hub required. Just make sure that when you buy your devices, they are wifi only and it is competible with the App you are using. Some brand will only work with their own App.

@@stevendigitalbutler thank you mate

Glad to help.

Yes, you can. As you mentioned, you need to change to a smart switch, which will involve some wiring work. Make sure that both the sensor and switch can be control by the same App. Then the logic will be the same as per my video. Good luck and do let me know how it goes

@@stevendigitalbutler thanks for your reply! Alright, I'm asking because I had smart buttons not being able to control lights from the same ecosystem and I didn't want to swap electronics and everything just for it to not work. I've ordered a switch and motion sensor 2 days ago, hoping it's gonna work and will tell you then!

1st you need to have a Tuya competible Universal IR Blaster to make that work. If you have, then the logic would be similar to my video. Let me know ho wit goes.

@@stevendigitalbutler I'll try to explain the question better: I need help because I can't understand the "PIR status" and "Nobody has passed" functions of the motion sensor to implement the following scenarios Platform consisting of 1 Tuya zigbee wired gateway + 1 zigbee motion sensor + Smart IR Wifi both acquired from the Tuya App platform Object1: check for the presence of guests in a room. If a guest goes out, the absence check begins for 15 minutes, but if he returns within that period of time, the count must start from zero. After 15 minutes without detecting any presence, a smart IR must be activated to turn off the air conditioner. Object2: set a magnetic contact on the window which, if it remains closed, allows activation of the air conditioner with its remote control, otherwise not. (obviously implementing a smart socket) Update: I understood that: pir status means it has detected a movement. After a period of time which is usually 30 seconds but can also be different depending on the detector, this goes back to waiting for detection and "no one has passed" appears until the next passage is detected If pir state means it detected human presence and after 30/60/120 seconds change to none passed until next pir state change, I could try like this: If PIR Status = no one has passed (therefore it is in this condition after 30/60/90 sec from when it detected the last presence...) i will delay 15 minute action which will switch off the air conditioner as long as the scope of validity is still no one has passed (condition which remains valid if PIR status is not activated again...) But it doesn't seem to work because the scope of validity serves simultaneously and only for the trigger and not to condition the execution of the action.

Usually the 1st place I would suggest you look at is the Wi-Fi. Both the phone/tablet and the bulb need to be in the same 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi. It has to be 2.4 GHz. Also, ensure that you reset the bulb and put it into pairing mode, which is indicated by a fast flashing of the bulb. Once it is flashing, only then can you start the pairing process. Hope this helps Do let me know how it goes.

@@stevendigitalbutler Yeah, I found that later in the morning. I had thought my wifi was on 2.4 for some reason, but it was 5.

Hi, can you explain more? I don't understand what you mean by "sync doesn't work in manual mode"

Unfortunately, I don't think we can make the phone ring. The App seem to only give message or phone notification option. The only way would be to increase the sound for message notification. Sorry couldn't be more helpful

I am sorry, I don't understand the language.

Has your automation been running successfully before?

@@stevendigitalbutler Yes.

You can try to look at the following: 1) Check battery level. Mine seems to act up when battery is low even if it is slightly above 20% 2) There maybe some corruption on the scene, most likely server side. Try deleting the automation and reset it. Hope this help

This particular plug is rated for 10 Amp which I think it is too low for Air-con. There are others that is rated for higher Amp. Check your air-con manual and see what is the requirement and get 1 that can handle the load but I would stay away from using smart plugs. If you have a split air-con, usually that comes with a remote and in such cases I will get a universal IR blaster to switch ON/OFF the air-con that way

Usually suspect is that your phone is not connected to a 2.4 GHz wifi. Check to make sure you are connected to the correct GHz. Good Luck

@mrmenace, this is exactly what is happening to me. Unlike what @stevendigitalbutler said, I am connecting to 2.4GHz WiFi. It is a WPA2-PSK and AES encryption, suggested by Tuya. I am using Honor Magic 5 Pro. I even return it back to the seller before. They tested it, it worked, and then ship it back to me. All the seller's video are using iPhone. Any update from you, @mrmenace?

Sorry, what is the question?

You're welcome!

Thank you. Glad you like it and find it useful
