How to Install

Connect and set up your smart device

Connect your device to the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app, then link it to Google Home or Amazon Alexa for voice control.

Part 1: Connect the device to the app

  1. Install the app. Search for Tuya Smart or Smart Life on Google Play or the App Store, then open it.

  2. Sign up or log in. Register with your email or phone number and verify with the code sent to you.

  3. Enable permissions. Turn on Wi-Fi (2.4GHz), Bluetooth and Location on your phone.

  4. Enter pairing mode. Power on the device and wait for the LED to flash rapidly. If it doesn't, press and hold the reset button for 5-10 seconds until it does.

  5. Add the device. Tap + (top right) > Add Device. Use Auto Scan or choose the category (e.g., Electrical > Wi-Fi Switch), then select your device.

  6. Connect to Wi-Fi. Choose your 2.4GHz network, enter the password and tap Next. Wait for the confirmation message.

  7. Name the device. Use a clear name like "Bedroom Light" and tap Done.

Note: Tuya devices support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only. If your router uses one name for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, temporarily turn off 5GHz or create a separate 2.4GHz network.

Part 2: Link with Alexa or Google Home

Use the same Tuya Smart or Smart Life account you paired the device with, and select the same country or region when logging in.

Amazon Alexa

  1. Install the Amazon Alexa app and sign in.

  2. Go to Menu > Skills & Games, search for Tuya Smart or Smart Life, tap Enable, and log in with your Tuya account.

  3. Alexa will discover your devices automatically. If not, go to Devices > + > Add Device > Other > Discover Devices.

Google Home

  1. Install the Google Home app and sign in.

  2. Tap + > Set up device > Works with Google, search for Tuya Smart or Smart Life, then log in and authorize access.

  3. Assign each device to a room (e.g., Living Room, Bedroom) so voice commands work by room.
