Smart AC Basic 10A Switch | 85~265VAC and 433MHz RF | Tuya Smart Life
A Smart 10A Basic Switch is a versatile automation component designed to act as a remote-controlled relay. Unlike standard smart switches that output the same voltage they receive (wet contacts), a dry contact switch keeps the input power and the output circuit completely isolated.
How does the dry contact work?
Think of the device as having two distinct “sides”:
- The power side: connected to a constant power source.
- The contact side: two terminals that are labeled as COM and NO (normally open) act exactly like a manual wall switch.
Product features
- Dry contact relay: the switching mechanism is isolated from the device’s internal power supply. This allows you to switch different voltages or simply “close a loop” without introducing any new current into the target circuit.
- Scheduling and timers: set automated routines to run high-energy devices during off-peak hours to save on electricity costs.
- Voice control: integration with assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for hands-free operation.

Pairing the remote to your smart device
There are normally two ways of pairing the remote to your smart device.
- Method 1: pair the remote via the app.
- Step 1: download the Tuya smart app and pair your smart device to your smartphone.
- Step 2: go into the smart device in the app. Tap on settings (that is on the bottom right-hand corner).
- Step 3: you should see a category called RF remote set-up. Tap on it.
- Step 4: tap on add remote, it will count down from 10 seconds. During the countdown, press any button on your 433MHz remote to connect to the smart device.
- Step 5: test the remote to see if the smart device switches on or off.
- Method 2: pair the remote physically.
- Step 1: press and hold the 433MHz remote button for ±3 seconds.
- Step 2: while hold the remote button, press the smart device’s on or off button. It should have paired successfully.
- Step 3: test the remote to see if the smart device switches on or off.
Typical applications (not limited to)
- Gate and garage door openers: most gate motors use a ‘pulse signal’ to trigger movement. A dry contact can safely bridge the motor’s trigger terminals without sending high-voltage AC into the control board.
- Boiler and HVAC control: many heating systems use low-voltage “call-for-heat” loops.
- Intercom integration: it can be used to “press” the electronic release button on an existing intercom system remotely.
- Inching/momentary mode: support “inching,” where the switch closes for 0.5 to 1 second and then automatically opens, mimicking a physical button press.
