Set Up and Connect Smoke Alarms to Wi-Fi
Before connecting smoke alarms, make sure that:

1. Know your Wi-Fi network name and password.
2. Make sure you are connecting smoke alarms to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network (incompatible with 5 GHz Wi-Fi network).

NOTES:

1. Make sure you turn onsome permissions in the mobile phone settings. Otherwise, the app cannot add devices or will fail to receive push notifications.
2. Some contents shown in the App user interface might slightly differ from those in the user manual due to later software upgrades.

How to connect using EZ mode (Default mode)

1. Before installing the alarm to a wall or ceiling, download the TuyaSmart/Smart Life app and connect the alarm to your Wi-Fi via the app. Search for TuyaSmart/Smart Life in the App Store or Google Play, or simply scan the included QR code to install the TuyaSmart/Smart Life app. You will also need to register an account.

2. Remove the insulating film from the battery compartment to turn on the alarm. The LED indicator will flash red and then continuously flash green, indicating that the smoke alarm has been activated.

3. Open the TuyaSmart/Smart Life app, tap the “+” icon in the top right corner of the “Home” page, or directly tap “Add Device” to add your first device.

4. Go to “Sensors” – > “Sensor/Alarm” – > “Sensor/Alarm (Wi-Fi)” on the “Add Manually” page to enter the Wi-Fi connecting page.

5. Enter the Wi-Fi password.
   NOTE: If your home Wi-Fi router is a 2.4 and 5 GHz dual-band that works with a single SSID name, please refer to your Wi-Fi router manual to create separate SSIDs for the 2.4 and 5 GHz channels. You can also select “Common router setting method” on the TuyaSmart/Smart Life App in the network configuration process to learn about the corresponding setting method.

6. To enable the smoke alarm to enter the Wi-Fi connection mode, hold down the test/silence button for 3 seconds. The smoke alarm will beep once, and the LED indicator will rapidly flash green.

7. After a successful connection, the LED indicator will stop flashing green. At this time, click the button “+” beside the device to successfully add the device. Then, select “Done.” The added device will now be displayed on the Home page in the app.
   NOTE: If you select “Done” without clicking “+,” you will be reminded to choose to add a device in the app.
   NOTES
   • The LED indicator will flash green rapidly for up to 2 minutes during configuration. If connection is unsuccessful, the smoke alarm will need to be reconnected. Remove the battery for a short period and start again from step

8. • Unsuccessful connection may be because your router, mobile phone, and alarm are not as close to each other as possible, or that you have incorrectly entered your Wi-Fi password.

9. Once you have successfully connected your device to the app, you can continue to the “Settings” section to set up push notifications and change various settings for the app and device. However, if the device still cannot connect to the app, you can try to set up the device using the following AP mode.

How to connect using AP mode (Alternative mode)
Some mobile phones and devices are not compatible with the EZ mode,so you will need to switch to the AP mode.

1. Insert a pin into the device pinhole on the back of the alarm and press down the inside button. The alarm will beep once and the LED indicator will flash green slowly, indicating that the alarmhas entered the AP mode.

2. Go to the Wi-Fi setup page in the phone, and then select the device’s hotspot with the default name “SmartLife-XXXX or “SL-XXXX”. After successfully connecting to the Wi-Fi, return to the app and start network configuration.

3. After successful connection, the LED indicator will stop flashing green and the added device will be displayed on the “Home” page in the app.

NOTE: When using the EZ (default) mode for network configuration, the LED indicatorflashes quickly, on average 4 times per second; when using AP mode for network configuration, the LED indicatorflashes slowly, on average once per second.

App Settings
Notifications Settings
Under Settings (the gear wheel on the unit’s home screen) you can adjust the type of notifications you want the smoke alarm to send. This can apply to both what is displayed on the screen and what is stored in the log.
One thing to keep in mind is that if you turn on many notifications, it may seem as if the device “alerts” about something constantly. For example, if you turn on “Device Self-Check Notification”, you will receive a notification every time the unit performs a test after the test/silence button is pressed. The more information you activate, the more power the device will consume, as it creates more need for the device to transmit information, which means that the intervals for battery replacement will become shorter than the advertised one year.

Historical Data (Log)
To access historical data or the log, click the “Click for more” button located at the bottom of the Home screen for the unit.
Offline Notification
If you have an unstable network, it may be good to know how often the alarm loses connection and to perhaps improve the placement of your Wi-Fi router or change Internet provider. Alternatively, you may wonder why the S-WF240 loses contact with the Wi-Fi router or cloud server and flashes green from time to time. Therefore, it is recommended to turn on the “Offline Notification” so that you will receive a push notification if your device cannot connect to the app.

Turn on “Offline Notification” and a text will appear describing that if the device is battery powered, updates are made every 8 hours. This information will then be sent from  the cloud server due to the device not having made contact within a specified time span. This does not mean that the device or your Wi-Fi router does not work  properly, but for some reason the smoke alarm cannot reach the cloud server at regular intervals and then the warning is sent out.

Alarm Test

1. Always make sure to test your smoke alarm when it is turned on for the first time, or whenever you change the battery or reconfigure the device. You should also test the  device weekly, or whenever you have been away from home for a long time.
2. Briefly press the test/silence button. NOTE: if you hold down the button for more than three seconds, the smoke alarm will enter a reconnecting mode in the app and  the previous settings will be cleared.
3. The unit beeps 3 times.
4. If your device has successfully connected to router, the LED indicator will flash red and then flash green rapidly for several seconds, indicating it has been connected.
5. When the test is finished, the alarm will automatically enter standby mode.

NOTES:

1. The test function accurately tests the alarm’s smoke sensing circuit without the need to test with smoke. If your smoke alarm fails to give an audible test signal, please  refer immediately to the troubleshooting guide at the end of this manual. Never use an open flame to test this device.
2. If the LED indicator flashes green for 2 minutes during the test, then the connection was not successful and the alarm needs to be reconnected (repeat the steps in the  section “Set Up and Connect Smoke Alarms to Wi-Fi”).

Installation Positioning

NOTE: If a smoke alarm is installed in a kitchen, ensure it has an easily accessible silence button and install the alarm as far away from the stove and sink as possible to avoid false alarms.

1. Prioritize the installation of an alarm in the bedroom and walkways, and make sure you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. In a home with several bedrooms,  install an alarm in every bedroom. If you install only one smoke alarm in your home, install the alarm near to all bedrooms where possible, and not in a basement or  furnace room.
2. Install an alarm above the stairway and on every floor of the house.
3. Smoke, heat and anything burning will spread horizontally after rising to the ceiling, so install the alarm in the middle of the ceiling where possible. Ensure that the alarm  is installed at the minimum distance away from corner.
4. If an alarm cannot be installed in the middle of a ceiling, install it at a distance of 20 inches (50 cm) away from the corners of the room.
5. If an alarm is installed onto a wall, a distance of 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) should be kept below the ceiling.
6. If the length of a room or hallway is greater than 30 feet (900 cm), several alarms should be installed in the same room.
7. When the wall or ceiling is angled, the alarm needs to be installed within 3 feet (90 cm) of the highest wall or ceiling point (measured horizontally) in the room.
8. To maintain a secure and stable Wi-Fi connection, please be sure to install the alarm within the router’s coverage area and make sure that there are as few obstacles as possible between them.

3. Attach the alarm to the mounting bracket and turn clockwise to lock the alarm.
4. Test the alarm according to the steps in the section “Alarm Test”.

Silence Function
If there is a false alarm, you can temporarily silence it by pressing the Silence button on the app or by pressing the Test/Silence button on the device. The LED indicator will  flash red once every 5 seconds and you will receive an instant notification from the app, telling you that the device has been temporarily silenced.
The silence duration usually lasts for 9 minutes. After that, the device will return to standby mode, provided that the smoke concentration has dropped below the alarm level.
Note that the silence function will only silence the alarm for a short period. It will NOT correct any problems.
