Troubleshootin

  1. Why does the button only respond after being pressed many times, with a very low success rate, making it unusable?

This issue may be caused by one of the following:

  • The scene may be configured incorrectly. If so, please delete the scene and set it up again.
  • The R5 may have low battery. If the battery level is low, try replacing the battery.
  • There may be an issue with the Mini Smart Gateway. Try restarting the gateway by unplugging and plugging it back in, or try re-adding the R5 to the gateway.
  1. Why the LED indicator on the R5 does not blink consistently when pressed, and long-press scenes fail to trigger?
    Please check whether the battery is depleted or if there is poor contact with the battery.
