A. Activate/Deactivate the detector
Instructions, video & FAQ
The device is deactivated by default before leaving our factory.
Before the detector can be used, it must be activated.
Power on: Press and hold the test button (= centre front of detector) until
the red LED indicator lights up and a beep sounds; this takes at least 10
seconds. After you release the test button the detector is activated and can
be used.
Power off: Press and hold the test button (= centre front of detector) until
the red LED indicator lights up twice and a beep sounds twice; this takes at
least 10 seconds. After you release the test button the detector is
deactivated and cannot be used.
CAUTION
The installation instructions must be followed strictly to avoid unsafe
conditions.
Do not paint your detector.
The battery cannot be replaced; do not try to replace the battery as this will
render the detector unuseable and can cause a fire due to the highcapacity
lithium battery.
B. LED indicators
Normal status: Green LED flashes once every 60 seconds.
Test status: Red LED flashes once every second.
Silence mode: Red LED flashes once every 8 seconds.
Low battery status: Red LED flashes once every 60 seconds and 1 beep every 60
seconds.
Fault status: Red LED flashes once every 40 seconds and 1 beep every 40
seconds.
C. Interlink the detectors
Connect this interlinked WiFi smoke detector (SM11HW) to interlinkable Aroha
smoke (SM11R4), carbon monoxide (CO11R) and combination (CS11R) detectors.
You only need one SM11HW per interlinked group: As the detectors will be
interlinked, you will receive notification within the app on your mobile phone
via this one SM11HW smoke detector.
Interlink the interconnected Aroha detectors before connecting the interlinked
WiFi smoke detector to the app on your mobile phone.
Instructions to interlink detectors
Step 1: Activate the transmit mode of 1 detector by pressing the test button 4
times within 1 second. If this is done correctly, the green LED will flash
rapidly for 1 minute. Within this minute you can connect the smoke detector to
other connectable detectors.
Step 2: Press the test button of the other detector(s) twice within 1 second.
This detector goes into reception mode and the green LED light will flash
slowly to confirm this. If pairing is successful, the green LED light on the
receiving smoke detector(s) will stop flashing.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Maximum interlinked detectors: 30 connectable Aroha smoke, CO and combination detectors can be interlinked in 1 group.
- Detector sounds an alarm: The test mode is activated as the test button was not pressed fast enough. After the alarm stops, try pressing the test button again 4 times as quickly as possible within 1 second.
- Connection fails: The green LED will continue to flash for 1 minute, followed by a red LED for 2 seconds to indicate that the connection was not successful. In that case, start the pairing process again.
- Test detectors: The detectors have a transmission range of 100 meters without obstructions, such as walls, ceilings, doors and windows. After installation, you can test whether all detectors are properly connected to each other by pressing the test button of 1 detector; then all test alarms from all linked detectors will also sound. See chapter E for more information.
- Unlinking: Press the test button on the detector twice within 1 second and the green LED will slowly flash for 60 seconds (receiving mode). After this period, it will stop flashing and the alarm is unlinked.
D. Connect SM11HW detector to your mobile phone
Step 1: A 2.4 GHz WiFi network is required to connect. If your network
broadcasts on both 2.4 and 5 GHz, disable 5 GHz during the pairing process (as
per your router manual).
Step 2: Install the Tuya Smart- or Smart Life-app on your smartphone by
scanning the QR-code on the right.

https://smartapp.tuya.com/smartlife
Step 3: Enable Bluetooth via settings on your phone. The app also needs
permission to use Bluetooth.
Step 4: Activate pairing mode by pressing the test button 4 times within 1
second of the interlinked WiFi detector (SM11HW with the WiFi-logo on the
back). If this is done correctly, the red LED light will flash rapidly. After
a few seconds this will change to a green LED that flashes rapidly for 1
minute. Within this minute you can link the detector to your app.
Step 5: Click on the “+” in the top right corner of the app home screen. Then
choose “Add device”, as you see in Figure 1. The app will now automatically
look for devices that are in pairing mode. Follow the steps as described in
the app.
If the app itself does not yet have permission to use Bluetooth, click on the
notification and follow the steps to allow the app to access Bluetooth as you
see in Figure 2.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Alarm: If an alarm sounds when you try to activate pairing mode, a test is activated because you did not press fast enough. After the alarm stops, try pressing the test button again 4 times as quickly as possible within 1 second.
- Low battery: The first time the detector is connected, the app may incorrectly report that the battery is almost empty. Disconnect the smoke detector and then reconnect it. If the notification is given again bythe app, please contact us.
E. Test your alarm
Test the detector to ensure proper operation by pressing the test button (=
centre front of detector). The alarm on the detector and all interconnected
detectors will sound, including a notification on your connected phone.
- If there is no sound from the tested detector, refer to the “Trouble shooting” section.
- If there is no sound from the connected detectors, repeat the interlinking-process as described in chapter C.
- If there is no notification on your connected phone, repeat the connecting-process as described in Chapter D.
CAUTION
DO NOT test your detector using an open flame. This may damage the detector or
ignite combustible materials and start a structural fire.
DO NOT stand close to the detector when the alarm is sounding. Exposure at
close range may be harmful to your ears.
Test the detector at least once a month.
F. Silence mode
Silence mode should only be used if the source of the alarm is known and safe.
Press the test button (= centre front of detector) to set the silence mode.
During silence mode, the red LED light flashes once every 8 seconds. The
detector is automatically reset after 10 minutes.
CAUTION
Before using the silence mode, identify the source of the smoke and be certain
a safe condition exists.
G. Mount the detector
Determine correct mounting location
Check figure 3, 4 and 5 for correct mounting locations. Most EU countries
require smoke detectors on all floors and escape routes.
Smoke spreads horizontally after rising to the ceiling, so install the
detector in middle of the ceiling.
If the length of the room or the hall is beyond 10 meters, you need to install
multiple alarms.
Make sure your mounting locations are within reach of other interlinked
detectors and the SM11HW within range of the 2.4 GHz-WiFi network. The
detectors have a transmission range of 100 meters without obstructions, such
as walls, ceilings, doors and windows.
Do not mount detector on these locations
Areas with high-humidity (e.g. kitchens, bathrooms), insects, dust/dirt,
easily polluted and high-temperature.
Within 1.5 meters of lamps, next to air outlets (e.g. doors/windows), fans and
central heating.
In top of room with sloping roofs, in the corner of the room or other dead-air
spaces.
Places with difficult access, making it difficult to operate the test
function.
Mounting instructions
Step 1: Twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise off the detector.
Step 2: Put the bracket on the mounting position and mark the 2 screw holes.
Step 3: Drill two 5mm mounting holes and insert the two plastic anchor plugs
by hammer.
Step 4: Screw the mounting bracket to the ceiling or the wall.
Step 5: Attach the detector to the mounting bracket and turn clockwise to lock
the detector. 
Maintenance and cleaning
There are a few steps you need do to keep it working properly:
Test the detector at least once a month.
Do not paint the detector. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the
sensor’s ability to detect smoke.
Never attempt to disassemble the detector to clean inside. This will damage
the detector and possibly render it unuseable.
Clean the detector at least once a month to remove dust, dirt or debris. Use a
vacuum cleaner with a soft brush and vacuum all sides and covers of the
detector.
Trouble shooting
The detector does not sound when testing: Check whether the smoke detector is
activated.
The detector beeps every 60 seconds and red LED flashes: The battery is low;
the detector needs to be replaced. Contact us on
[email protected] to replace it
if the warranty is still in place.
The detector beeps every 40 seconds: Clean the smoke detector, by using a
vacuum cleaner with a soft brush and vacuum all sides and covers of the smoke
detector. If the issue continues, the detector is malfunctioning. Contact us
on [email protected] to replace
it if the warranty is still in place.
False alarms triggered intermittently or when residents are cooking, taking
showers, etc.:
Check whether there is any danger from smoke and/or fire nearby. Once danger
has been ruled out, press the test button to set the silent mode. To prevent
future false alarms, clean and maintain the smoke detector as directed. Also
consider installing the smoke detector in a different location if it gives a
false alarm due to water vapor, for example.
