6. Instruccions de funcionament
6.1. Rain/Water Leak Detection
Once paired with your ZigBee gateway, the sensor will continuously monitor for rain or water. Upon detection, it will send an instant push notification to your smartphone via the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app.
6.2. Adjusting Sensitivity
The sensor's detection sensitivity can be adjusted through the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app. Navigate to the sensor's settings within the app and use the sensitivity slider to fine-tune its responsiveness to water droplets.
6.3. Ambient Light Detection
The sensor also detects ambient light levels. This feature can be used to trigger smart scenes. For example, you can set up an automation to turn on a ZigBee light when the sensor detects that the environment has become dark.
6.4. Smart Automations
Leverage the sensor's capabilities to create powerful smart scenes:
- Automatic Window Closing: Combine the Rain Detection Sensor with a ZigBee Window Pusher and your ZigBee Gateway to automatically close windows when rain is detected.
- Instant Leak Alarm: Pair the Rain Detection Sensor with a ZigBee Siren Alarm and your ZigBee Gateway to trigger an audible alarm immediately upon water leak detection.
6.5. Registres d'Història
Access the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app to view a detailed history of all detection events, including timestamps and event types (e.g., 'Raining', 'None').
7. Manteniment
7.1. Substitució de la bateria
The sensor uses a CR123A battery with an estimated life of up to 2 years. When the battery level is low, you will receive a notification via the app. Replace the battery as described in the 'Battery Installation' section (5.1).
7.2. Neteja
Periodically clean the sensor's detection surface with a soft, dry cloth to ensure optimal performance. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging the device in water.
7.3. Consideracions ambientals
While the sensor is IPX4 waterproof, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy downpours, freezing temperatures) may affect its lifespan. Ensure proper placement to minimize direct impact from harsh elements.
8. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor not detecting rain/water. | Low battery; incorrect placement; sensitivity too low; sensor surface dirty. | Check battery level and replace if necessary. Reposition the sensor to a more exposed area. Increase sensitivity in the app. Clean the sensor surface. |
| No s'han rebut notificacions. | Sensor not paired; ZigBee gateway offline; app notifications disabled; poor ZigBee signal. | Ensure sensor is correctly paired with the gateway. Check gateway's internet connection. Enable notifications for the Tuya/Smart Life app. Move sensor closer to the gateway. |
| Durada de la bateria curta. | Frequent detections/notifications; extreme temperatures; faulty battery. | Reduce sensitivity if false alarms are frequent. Ensure sensor is not exposed to extreme temperatures. Replace with a new, high-quality CR123A battery. |
| Cannot connect to ZigBee gateway. | Gateway not in pairing mode; sensor too far from gateway; interference. | Ensure gateway is in pairing mode. Move sensor closer to the gateway. Remove potential sources of interference (e.g., other wireless devices). |
