tuya Wi-Fi Gas Leak Detector
Introduction
This product is designed to detect explosive gases(natural gas and LPG) in the air for houses, offices and similar places etc. In case of gas leak, it alarms sound with voice prompt, push text notification to your mobile and drives the valve/manipulator to turn gas leak source off.
It is also a fire alarm device with the built-in heat sensor designed to respond when the convected thermal energy of a fire increases the temperature.
You can get the gas level and temperature via a mobile application from any point of the world, and an Internet connectionviaaWi-Fi802.11 b/g/n(2.4GHz) network is required for operation. TFT color LCD screen displays with date and time, gas level, temperature and life days remained

- Tap the top right icon in APP to select “AP Mode”, then tap “Slow flashing”.
- Tap Confirm > Go to Connect, then choose the Wi-Fi hotspot named “Smart life-XXXX” in your Wi-Fi list. Go back to your app to wait the Wi-Fi configuration finishes
Installation
Do not install the detector
- Where the temperature is under 0℃ and over +55℃ or outdoor
- Near to exhaust fan, vaporous, chimney hood, smelly places
- Location of the detector should not be very close to apertures and ventilation channels as air stream may be greater and gas concentration may decrease.
Location
Natural gas that is comprised of methane gas is lighter than air, in case of
gas leakage; gas rises towards ceiling and accumulates in areas near ceiling.
Therefore, for natural gas, the alarm apparatus shall be located in a position
of 30 cm under the ceiling and 1.5-4 meter(s) away from gas supply. LPG that
is comprised of mixture of propane and butane is heavier than air. In case of
gas leakage, LPG falls down to ground. Therefore, for LPG, the alarm apparatus
shall be located in a position of 30 cm above the floor and 1.5-4 meter(s)
away from gas supply.
