The MASTER+ Pergola is compatible with the TUYA Smart App, available for iOS and Android.
To enable app control:

1️⃣ Plug in the Wi-Fi Smart Hub accessory.
2️⃣ Download the TUYA Smart app and create an account.
3️⃣ Select “Add Device → Curtain Switch (Wi-Fi)”.
4️⃣ Follow on-screen instructions to sync the motorized louvers.

📲 The app uses 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only (5GHz not supported).


Manual Override (In Case of Power Outage)

If the power supply is interrupted, the louvers will remain in their last position.
To manually close them:

  • Turn off the main power for safety.

  • Use the manual crank adapter inside the motor housing (accessible by removing the beam cap).

  • Rotate gently until fully closed.

⚠️ Manual operation is for emergency use only and should be performed by a qualified technician.


Maintenance & Safety Tips

  • Always close louvers before storms or strong winds.

  • Avoid forcing the louvers open by hand — use motor control only.

  • Clean debris (leaves, dust) from between louvers regularly.

  • Keep the transformer and motor housing dry and dust-free.
