Tuya Switch Compatibility with Traditional Home Lighting:

1. Compatibility Overview
Tuya smart switches are designed to work seamlessly with most standard household lighting systems. Compatibility depends on two main factors:
Lighting Type: LED, incandescent, halogen, and fluorescent bulbs are generally supported
Dimming Requirements: Non-dimmable switches work with all bulb types, while dimmable models require compatible bulbs
2. Common Compatibility Scenarios
A. Standard LED/Incandescent Bulbs
Plug-and-play operation with Tuya smart switches
No flickering issues when within the switch's rated load (typically 100-2000W)
Example: A 60W incandescent bulb works perfectly with a Tuya single-pole switch
B. Dimmable Lighting Systems
Dimmable switches require:
Dimmable LED bulbs (look for "Tuya compatible" labeling)
Proper voltage matching (120V/230V systems)
Avoid mixing bulb types on the same circuit
C. Fluorescent Lighting
Electronic ballast systems are fully compatible
Magnetic ballasts may cause:
Flickering at low brightness levels
Reduced switch lifespan
Recommend using Tuya non-dimmable switches
D. Specialty Lighting
Low-voltage systems (12V/24V) require additional transformers
Three-way circuits need specific smart switch configurations
3. Potential Issues & Solutions
A. Flickering Lights
Causes:
Bulb wattage below the switch's minimum load (e.g., <10W LED)
Incompatible dimming technology
Loose wiring connections
Solutions:
Add a load resistor for low-wattage bulbs
Use Tuya-certified dimmable bulbs
Check wiring integrity
B. Unresponsive Switches
Troubleshooting Steps:
Verify proper voltage supply (100-240V AC)
Reset the switch and re-pair with the Tuya app
Update firmware to the latest version
Test with a different bulb type
C. Partial Control
Common Scenarios:
Only one bulb in a multi-fixture setup works
Wall switch operates but app control fails
Solutions:
Ensure all bulbs are Tuya-compatible
Check for neutral wire connections in smart switches
Disable "scene mode" conflicts in the app
4. Installation Best Practices
Wiring Requirements:
Standard 3-wire (live/neutral/load) for most switches
Neutral wire necessary for smart functions
Professional Installation Recommended:
For complex circuits (3-way, 4-way)
When modifying older wiring systems
For commercial lighting installations
5. Verification Process
Check Compatibility Before Purchase:
Use the Tuya Compatibility Checker on our website
Look for the Works with Tuya badge on bulb packaging
Refer to the switch manual's "Supported Bulbs" section
6. Recommended Products
Best for General Use: Tuya Single-Pole Smart Switch (TS011F)
Ideal for Dimmable LEDS: Tuya Zigbee Dimmer Switch (TS0201)
Outdoor Lighting: Tuya Weatherproof Smart Switch (IP66 rating)
7. Warranty & Support
All Tuya switches come with a 2-year warranty
