Can I control groups of lamps or devices independently from each other via physical switches?

Yes, you can, but for this you need multiple Smart switches, such as a Smart Remote Control or a Smart Wall Switch.

By “physical switches” we mean real control elements that you operate by hand, such as a remote control or a smart wall switch. These control your Smart lamps or devices wirelessly, without needing to open the app.

When you connect multiple lamps or devices to one Smart switch, they are by default controlled simultaneously.
If you want to be able to control different groups of lamps or devices separately from each other, we recommend using a separate Smart switch for each group.

Here’s how to set this up:

  1. Connect each Smart Remote Control or Smart Wall Switch to the desired lamp(s) or device(s) in your Tuya-compatible app (for example Smart Life).

  2. Create separate groups in the app for the devices you want to control independently.

  3. Link each group to a separate Smart switch.

This way you can easily switch per room or light group, without all the lamps responding at the same time.

Tip: In the app you can also set scenes to control multiple groups simultaneously when that is desired.
