To deactivate the combination detector, set the switch on the back of the detector to “OFF“. The combination detector is now deactivated.

Press the test button (= whole front combination detector) to check. You will hear a loud alarm and see the red LED flashing.

After the test, the combination detector returns to standby mode, and the green LED flashes every 56 seconds: this means that the combination detector is active.

The green LED flashes very briefly, once every 56 seconds. In a bright room, this is difficult to see.

Here are a few steps you can follow to make sure everything is working properly:

1. Check that the combination detector is turned on by pressing the test button. If the alarm sounds, it means that the combination detector is active.
2. During the test alarm, you will see a red LED. This is the same light as the green, so if the red LED works, the green LED should also work.
3. If you are still experiencing problems and the green LED does not seem to be working (note: this can be difficult to see in daylight), please make a short video of at least 2 minutes in a dark room in which you first press the test button and then show the problem. Please send this video along with your order number to us so we can help you further.

You will see this on your cell phone when connected to the respective WiFi network, at“Network Information” or “Network Details.”

Tuya Smart app and SmartLife app are both official Tuya applications. The difference is that the Tuya Smart app uses the Tuya logo and elements, while the Smart Life app removes all Tuya logos and elements. The data from the two apps are independent of each other and cannot be transferred. If you want to transfer an Aroha Smart Connect smoke, CO or combination detector, you must remove the device from one app and add it again in another app.

Download your chosen application from Google Play (Andriod) or App Store (iOS Apple).

Our Aroha Smart Connect detectors can be used in the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app at no cost. You receive free notifications when an alarm occurs, can view battery status and notification history, name detectors and set up smart scenarios. As mentioned in the product description, all of these features are free of charge. You don’t even have to create an account if you don’t want to – with account you do get access to additional free features.

Phone calls or text alerts (outside the app, on your mobile number) in the event of an alarm is paid (prepaid). For more information, visit the Tuya Smart or Smart Life website.

Test mode has been activated, possibly because you have not been able to press 4 times within 1 second.
After the alarm stops, try pressing the test button one more time as quickly as possible within 1 second 4 times.

Check you are using a 2.4 GHz WiFi network, as described in step 2. If so, temporarily disable any 5 GHz WiFi network that is still active.

Check that the connection mode is correctly activated, as described in step 5. If this has been done correctly, the red LED will flash at a rapid rate. This changes after a few to a green LED light flashing at a rapid rate for 1 minute. Within this minute, you can link the detector to your app.

Check that all steps were followed and try again. Does it not work the second time either? Contact us so that our specialists can look with you to solve the problem.

The first time an Aroha Smart Connect detector is connected to the app, the app may incorrectly display a low battery notification.

Press the detector’s test button and app will refresh itself. If the app still gives a low battery notification, remove the detector from the app and then reconnect. Are you getting a notification again? Contact us so our specialists can look with you to resolve the issue.

We do not recommend testing the smoke detector with smoke or fire. This can be dangerous and damage the smoke detector. In addition, all Aroha smoke detectors are already thoroughly tested in a controlled smoke chamber at the factory before they are put on the market. This gives you confidence that your detector will work properly when installed correctly.

Still want to check if your smoke detector is working yourself? Then use the test button. This safely activates the alarm without smoke. If you want to perform a more comprehensive test, you can use a special test spray. These sprays safely simulate smoke and activate the detector’s sensor.

Learn more about the legal obligations in your country here. In addition to meeting legal obligations, we recommend that you optimize safety in your home by installing combination detectors, smoke detectors and/or carbon monoxide detectors in strategic locations:

• Rooms with combustion appliances: Place carbon monoxide alarms or combination detectors in any room that contains combustion appliances, such as central heating boilers, gas stoves, water heaters or fireplaces. These appliances can emit carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless and potentially deadly gas. A CO alarm near these appliances provides a quick warning of dangerous accumulations of carbon monoxide so you can act in a timely manner.
• Escape routes: Place smoke detectors or combination detectors in hallways and near stairs, especially if they lead to bedrooms. This ensures that smoke is detected quickly and you can respond in a timely manner.
• Bedrooms: It is crucial to install smoke detectors or combination detectors in or near bedrooms so that the alarm can alert everyone during the night. This increases the likelihood that residents will be awakened in time in the event of a fire. In this regard, choose a bedroom-friendly Sleep Line combination detector without a standby LED.
• Living rooms: A smoke detector or combination detector in the living room is important, especially if appliances that can cause smoke and fire, such as a fireplace, are frequently used.
• Near kitchens: It is not recommended to place smoke detectors or combination detectors directly in kitchens due to the risk of false alarms caused by cooking fumes. Place a smoke detector near a kitchen or choose our specially designed Aroha Heat Detector around the kitchen to detect fire in time.
• Within range of 2.4 GHz WiFi network: Place your Aroha Smart Connect detector within range of the 2.4 GHz WiFi network so that the detector can connect to the app. You yourself do not need to be within range of this same WiFi network to receive notifications.

A combination detector is a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector in one. Smoke rises and carbon monoxide spreads through the air. Because of this difference, there is no one perfect place for the combination detector, but entirely dependent on your situation.

• Mount the combination detector on the ceiling – because smoke rises – and at least 50 cm away from a wall or corner, as shown in the pictures below.
• Hang the combination detector centrally in the room and not next to any air inlets or air outlets or other objects on the ceiling.
• In a room with a combustion appliance (possible CO source), hang the combination detector/CO detector from the ceiling and at a horizontal distance between 1 and 3 meters from the CO source.

• Rooms with high humidity (e.g. kitchens, bathrooms), insects, dust/dirt, easily soiled and high temperatures.
• Within 1.5 meters of lamps, next to air outlets (e.g. doors/windows), fans and central heating.
• Upstairs in a room with sloping roofs, in the corner of the room or in other areas with dead air.
• Difficult to access places, making the test function difficult to operate.
