If your Horizon Pergola appears as Offline inside the Tuya Smart app, the pergola controller has lost communication with your Wi-Fi network or the Tuya cloud service.
Your remote control may still work even when the app shows offline.
Common Symptoms
Problem | Example |
Device Offline | App shows “Offline” |
No App Control | Commands do not respond |
Remote Still Works | Physical remote works normally |
Intermittent Online Status | Connects then disconnects |
Step 1: Confirm Pergola Has Power
Check | Details |
Main Power ON | Pergola controller must be powered |
Breaker / GFCI | Reset if tripped |
Lights / Motor Respond | Test using remote control |
If the remote also does not work, this may be a power issue rather than Wi-Fi.
Step 2: Check Home Wi-Fi
Check | Details |
Internet Working | Test another device on same Wi-Fi |
Router Powered ON | Confirm router is online |
Signal Near Pergola | Weak signal can cause offline status |
If your router was recently restarted, the controller may need time to reconnect.
Step 3: Refresh the App
Action | Details |
Pull to Refresh | Refresh device list |
Close / Reopen App | Restart Tuya Smart |
Sign Out / In | Refresh account session |
Step 4: Reboot the Pergola Controller
Step | Action |
1 | Turn pergola power OFF |
2 | Wait 30 seconds |
3 | Turn power back ON |
4 | Wait 1–2 minutes for reconnect |
Many temporary offline issues are solved by rebooting power.
Step 5: Verify Wi-Fi Settings
Requirement | Details |
2.4GHz Network Preferred | Most smart controllers rely on 2.4GHz |
Same Wi-Fi Name | If router name/password changed, device may disconnect |
Strong Signal | Consider Wi-Fi extender if far from router |
Step 6: If Still Offline, Reconnect Device
If the controller cannot reconnect automatically:
Action |
Remove device from Tuya app |
Put controller into pairing mode |
Re-add device using setup steps |
If Remote Works But App Does Not
Usually indicates:
Wi-Fi signal issue
Router password changed
