Caractéristiques

Configuration et installation

Before beginning installation, ensure the main power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker to prevent electrical shock.

1. Installation physique et câblage

Description de l'image : This image displays the LoraTap Wi-Fi Relay Receiver module. It shows the 'Input' terminals (L for Live, N for Neutral) and 'Output' terminals (N for Neutral, L for Live/Load) clearly labeled. An antenna is visible on top, and regulatory marks (FCC, CE, RoHS) are printed on the device. The module is compact, designed for integration into existing electrical setups.

Description de l'image : This image illustrates the compact size of the LoraTap Wi-Fi Relay Receiver (48mm x 42mm x 23mm) compared to a larger, older module. Below, it shows the module being installed inside a standard electrical wall box, demonstrating how it connects to the existing wiring for a light switch. The blue wire represents neutral, and the brown wire represents live, connecting to the module's input and output terminals.

Description de l'image : This diagram provides step-by-step visual instructions for wiring the LoraTap Wi-Fi Relay Receiver. It shows how to connect the Live (L) and Neutral (N) input wires to the module, and then connect the module's output (N and L) to the lamp or load. The diagram also depicts the process of removing a wall plate, installing the module behind a switch, and securing it. It emphasizes the importance of correct wiring for safe and functional operation.

1. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker for the circuit you will be working on.
2. Open the electrical box or switch housing where you intend to install the module.
3. Identify the Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires for the input power supply.
4. Connect the input Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires to the corresponding 'Input' terminals on the LoraTap module.
5. Connect the Neutral (N) and Live/Load (L) wires leading to your appliance (e.g., lamp) to the corresponding 'Output' terminals on the LoraTap module.
6. Ensure all connections are secure. The module is designed for both surface and flush mounting.
7. Carefully place the module inside the electrical box, ensuring no wires are pinched.
8. Rétablir le courant au disjoncteur.

2. Appairage et configuration de l'application

The LoraTap Wi-Fi Relay Receiver uses the Smart Life App for control and configuration.

1. Téléchargez l'application « Smart Life » depuis la boutique d'applications de votre smartphone (iOS ou Android).
2. Inscrivez-vous ou connectez-vous à votre compte Smart Life.
3. Assurez-vous que votre smartphone est connecté à un réseau Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz (les réseaux 5 GHz ne sont pas pris en charge pour le jumelage initial).
4. Dans l'application, appuyez sur « + » ou « Ajouter un appareil ».
5. Follow the in-app instructions to put the device into pairing mode. This usually involves pressing a button on the module or cycling its power. The indicator light on the module will typically flash rapidly.
6. Select the device type (e.g., 'Switch' or 'Electrical'). The app should automatically detect the LoraTap module.
7. Saisissez le mot de passe de votre réseau Wi-Fi lorsque vous y êtes invité.
8. Une fois l'appairage réussi, vous pouvez renommer l'appareil pour une identification plus facile (par exemple, « Lampe du salon »).

Mode d'emploi

1. Contrôle à distance via l'application Smart Life

Description de l'image : This image showcases various features of the Smart Life App for controlling the LoraTap module. It highlights 'Remote Control' allowing operation from anywhere, 'Create Schedules' for automated on/off times, and 'Countdown Function' for temporary operation. The app interface displays options for setting timers and managing connected devices.

• Ouvrez l'application Smart Life sur votre smartphone.
• Select the LoraTap module you wish to control from the device list.
• Appuyez sur l'icône d'alimentation pour allumer ou éteindre l'appareil connecté.

2. Planification et minuteries

• Within the device control interface in the Smart Life app, navigate to the 'Schedule' or 'Timer' section.
• You can set one-time, daily, or weekly schedules for the device to turn on or off automatically.
• Use the 'Countdown' function to set a specific duration after which the device will turn off.

3. Voice Control (Google Home / Amazon Alexa)

Description de l'image : This image shows a man holding a child in a kitchen, with a voice assistant speaker (Alexa) and a Google Home speaker depicted alongside the LoraTap module. The text indicates 'Voice Control' and shows an example command: "Alexa, turn on the light in the kitchen." This illustrates the seamless integration of the LoraTap module with popular voice assistant platforms for hands-free control.

• Assurez-vous que votre module LoraTap est correctement associé à l'application Smart Life.
• Ouvrez votre application Google Home ou Amazon Alexa.
• Link your Smart Life account within the Google Home/Alexa app's 'Skills' or 'Works with Google' section.

• You can now control the device using voice commands, e.g., "Hey Google, turn on Living Room Light" or "Alexa, turn off Kitchen Lamp."

4. Contrôle de groupe

Description de l'image : This image demonstrates the group control functionality within the Smart Life App. It shows a single smartphone controlling multiple LoraTap modules simultaneously, indicating that one app can manage several receivers. Conversely, it also illustrates that multiple smartphones can control a single LoraTap receiver, allowing shared access for family members. The app interface displays a power button and timer options for each device.

• In the Smart Life app, you can create groups of devices to control multiple LoraTap modules simultaneously.
• This allows you to turn on/off all lights in a room or area with a single command or tap.

Entretien

• The LoraTap Wi-Fi Relay Receiver requires minimal maintenance.
• Ensure the device is kept clean and free from dust. Disconnect power before cleaning.
• Vérifiez régulièrement le serrage des connexions électriques, notamment après l'installation initiale.
• Avoid exposing the device to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can affect its lifespan.

Dépannage

• L'appareil ne répond pas : Check if the power supply to the module is active. Verify your Wi-Fi network is operational and your smartphone has internet access. Ensure the module is within Wi-Fi range.
• Impossible de jumeler : Confirm your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Ensure the module is in pairing mode (indicator light flashing rapidly). Try resetting the module by cycling its power or holding the pairing button (if available) for several seconds.
• La commande vocale ne fonctionne pas : Confirm the Smart Life account is correctly linked in your Google Home or Alexa app. Ensure the device name is recognized by the voice assistant. Try re-discovering devices in the voice assistant app.
