Smart Lighting with Tuya
With the purchase of an SSC-LUXon smart light source, the colourful world of
lighting is open to you. To be able to use all functions, a few steps are
necessary in advance. On this page, you will find out everything you need to
know about setting up and operating the lights and how to connect them to a
voice assistant* such as „Amazon Alexa“ or „Google Home“.
We hope you enjoy your smart lighting!
! Before you get started, here is an important note:
Please ensure that your WLAN is set to 2.4 GHz.
Operation with Tuya is not possible in 5.0 GHz mode.
You can check this in the settings of your internet router under the item „Wi-
Fi“.
Information on the use of the smart lighting outdoors:
If you want to combine our smart light source with an outdoor light, we
recommend that you first configure the light source on the router. Then you
can try it out in the garden to see how far the Wi-Fi connection is stable.
Please note that the range of your Wi-Fi connection is crucial for the
functionality of the smart light outdoors.
Our SSC-LUXon smart light sources complies with directive 2014/53/EU.
You can download the complete text of the EU declaration of conformity as a
PDF document on the following page: https://www.led-lichtraum.de/info/doc
- You do not necessarily need a voice assistant to operate the light sources. You can also control the lights directly with your smartphone and the „Smart Life“ app. However, operation by voice control increases the convenience considerably, as you do not have to pick up your smartphone every time.
Installing the Smart Life App
The first thing you need is the Smart Life app, regardless of whether you want
to control your smart lights directly or via voice assistant. The app serves
as an interface between your lights and the configuration.
1.1 Download the Smart Life App
Visit the Google Play Store or App Store with your smartphone.
The Smart Life App is available for Android & iOS.
1.2 Register with Smart Life
After
installing the Smart Life App: Click on „Sign Up“ at the beginning.
Now
enter your e-mail address and confirm it with „Get Verification Code“. This
step is for your own security. Now wait until you receive your code by e-mail
and enter it in the app.
In the next step you will be asked to choose your personal password.
Please note that the password should be as secure as possible (upper & lower
case letters, numbers and special characters).
! Important notice for the next step 1.3:
When installing several lights, we recommend that you couple only 3 lights at
a time.
Otherwise, the commissioning may not work smoothly.
However, a total of more than 3 lights can be installed per circuit.
Only the setup up should be done one after the other (3 lights each).

flashes directly (your light at home, not in the app), select „Confirm the
indicator is blinking“ Otherwise, select „Reset Device Step bye Step“ and
follow the described steps.

automatically, just like on a TV.
