FAQ
1. Q: What types of gas does this detector sense?
A: This detector is designed to detect flammable gases such as Methane (CH₄), propane, butane, LPG, and other combustible gases that may leak in kitchens, garages, basements, and other indoor environments.
2. Q: Does this gas detector require a WiFi hub to work?
A: No. It connects directly to your home’s 2.4 GHz WiFi network, so no additional hub or gateway is required. You can monitor gas status remotely via the mobile app.
3. Q: Can I receive alerts on my phone when gas leakage is detected?
A: Yes. When the detector senses dangerous gas levels, it will trigger an instant loud alarm locally and also send a push notification to your smartphone through the Tuya/Smart Life app.
4. Q: Is the alarm loud enough to be heard throughout the house?
A: Yes. The detector emits a high-decibel sound alarm (typically above 75 dB) designed to alert occupants in adjacent rooms so you can respond quickly.
5. Q: How does the detector differentiate between normal and dangerous gas levels?
A: The device uses a built-in sensitive gas sensor calibrated to detect flammable gas concentrations. When the concentration exceeds safety thresholds (set by international safety standards), it triggers an alarm.
6. Q: Does this detector also alert for fire or heat?
A: This model is primarily a combustible gas (CH₄/flammable gas) detector. For fire/smoke detection you would normally pair it with a dedicated smoke detector. However, the app can be configured for automation triggers with other detectors if used in a smart home system.
7. Q: How is it powered, and do I need wiring?
A: This WiFi gas detector is typically plug-in powered (standard AC power). Always ensure it is installed near outlets and follow the installation guide — no professional electrician is usually required.
8. Q: Will I receive a low-battery or device fault alert?
A: Yes. If the detector experiences low battery (if battery backup is installed) or a sensor fault, it will notify you via the app and/or emit local beeps according to the device’s warning patterns.
