Hi, I have a problem with the above described device. I bought a used one 100% working as described. Unfortunately I can't connect it to Smart Life. It is detected as a smart watering device, the wifi icon flashes but when trying to add it displays the message adding device failed. I tried on...

The first thing I would recommend checking is Bluetooth and allowing location access for the Smart Life app. I remember when I had that turned off there were weird pairing issues. And the second thing is, are you pairing with the Smart Life app - that's the exact name? Try it with the normal Tuya app.

I also checked the Tuya and Moes app. Smart Life has all the permissions. I have more than a dozen Tuya devices and for a test I removed and re-added one of them with no problem.

Do you do a long reset? Do you have instructions maybe? They often have two pairing modes there - via AP and via BT, have you tested both?
