With the advent of the Smart Home platform from Tuya Industries, making your home ‘Smart’ is now truly DIY. (Note that where applicable (smart circuit breakers etc.) work is to be carried out by a qualified electrician in possession of the applicable ‘wire-men’s license’).

These relay boards are powered via a 5V DC, micro USB (no wiring or risk of shock) and can easily be setup on a office desk or any table. Once connected follow the steps below.
