Review on πŸ”’ Smart WiFi Wireless Security Alarm with Free Tuya APP Control & Notification, Home Security PIR Motion Detector Compatible with Alexa & Siri – Smart Motion Sensor for Enhanced Protection by Adam Nikolz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Notification delay time unacceptable for security and control reasons

I've read some other reviews on this and Tuya doesn't seem to understand what customers want. The Tuya app shows up as less than 54MB on the Play Store, but it grows up to 415MB on your phone. however (oddly) it increases to "only" 108MB if you move the app to the SD card after installation. Very suspicious app behavior and violating the Play Store's app size policy advance notice. As for the performance of this product with the Tuya app, if you don't mind a notification delay of 1-2 MINUTES, that's fine! But as mentioned in several reviews, users need an instantaneous motion detection response. As this product only works with one app (Tuya Smart and Smart Life are the same) and it was found not to respond to Alexa (I don't have Alexa), I would not buy this product again. I really think the problem could be in the app as I used the door sensor with the app in combination with the motion sensor and the door sensor didn't work at the same time as the motion sensor. But both sensors failed shortly after installation, and I had limited experimentation time to test each other's application.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
