  8. Once successfully connected, the blue LED on the sensor will illuminate.

4.3 Initial Configuration in App

After successful pairing, you need to set up the tank parameters in the app for accurate readings.

  1. From the main device screen in the app, slide down to reveal the settings option.
  2. Click on "Setting".
  3. Set the data according to the actual situation of your tank, including:
    • Hauteur d'installation : The total height of your tank.
    • Sensor to Full Line: The distance from the sensor to the maximum fill level of the tank.
    • Définir le maximum : Le pourcentagetage or depth for the high-level alarm.
    • Set Mini: Le pourcentagetage or depth for the low-level alarm.

5.2 Setting Up Alarms and Notifications

To receive notifications when the liquid level reaches a specific state (e.g., full or low), you need to create a "scene" in the app:

  1. Return to the app's home page.
  2. Click on the "Scene" tab (usually at the bottom of the screen).
  3. Click "When device status changes".
  4. Select your TLC2206 sensor.
  5. Choose the option to alarm (e.g., "Low alarm" or "Full alarm").
  6. Click "Then".
  7. Select "Send notification".
  8. Choose "Message Center" for in-app push notifications. (Note: Phone call or SMS reminders may be a paid feature of the Tuya platform).
  9. Click "Next" and then "Save".
  10. Enter a scene name (e.g., "Low Water Alert") and confirm.

When the liquid level reaches the alarm state set in the scene, a pop-up message will remind you.

5.3 Historique des données

The app displays a graph table that updates the average liquid level every half hour. If the data does not appear to update, return to the APP homepage and pull down to refresh the screen.

6. Entretien

  • Regularly inspect the sensor unit for any debris or buildup that might obstruct the ultrasonic signal. Clean the sensor surface gently with a soft, damp tissu.
  • Vérifiez que l'adaptateur secteur et le câble ne sont pas endommagés et sont correctement connectés.
  • Periodically check the app for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
  • While the sensor is IP67 waterproof, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions or direct water jets on the cable entry point should be avoided.

7. Dépannage

If you encounter issues with your TLC2206 monitor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblèmeCause possibleSolution
Device cannot connect to WiFi / App cannot find sensor.Weak WiFi signal, incorrect pairing procedure, phone not on same network.Ensure strong 2.4GHz WiFi signal (within 30m without obstacles). Confirm phone is on the same WiFi. Short press the sensor button twice to re-enter pairing mode and try adding again.
Inaccurate liquid level readings.Incorrect app calibration settings, sensor obstruction, condensation, unsuitable tank shape/material.Verify "Installation Height" and "Sensor to Full Line" settings in the app are accurate. Ensure the sensor's path to the liquid is clear. Avoid installation where the liquid surface is not flat or where objects are too small/soft to reflect the ultrasonic signal effectively. If condensation is suspected inside the unit, contact support.
Notifications are not timely or not received.Poor WiFi signal, app notification settings, Tuya platform limitations.Check WiFi signal strength. Ensure app notifications are enabled in your phone's settings. Note that advanced notification types (SMS/calls) may require a subscription from Tuya.
Device stopped working after some time.Internal component failure, water intrusion (condensation).Contact EPTTECH customer support for warranty service or troubleshooting assistance.
