Introduction

Smart homes aren’t just about individual devices — the true magic comes when everything works together. With Tuya Smart Life, you can create automated scenes that simplify your daily routines, from waking up in the morning to going to bed at night. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to set up and customize Tuya smart scenes for different lifestyle needs.

What Are Tuya Smart Scenes?

A scene in the Tuya Smart Life app is a set of actions triggered automatically or manually. For example, one tap can turn off all lights, lock doors, and lower the thermostat. Or, a scheduled scene can prepare your home for your morning routine by turning on lights, brewing coffee, and adjusting room temperature.

Two Types of Tuya Scenes

  • Tap-to-Run Scenes: Activated manually with a single tap in the app or via voice assistants.
  • Automation Scenes: Triggered automatically by conditions such as time, location, or sensor detection.

Benefits of Using Tuya Smart Scenes

  • Save time and energy with automation.
  • Enhance comfort and convenience at home.
  • Improve security by linking devices like cameras and sensors.
  • Personalize routines to match your lifestyle.

How to Create a Tuya Smart Scene

  1. Open the Tuya Smart Life app and go to the “Smart” tab.
  2. Tap on “+ Create Scene”.
  3. Select either Tap-to-Run or Automation.
  4. Choose your trigger conditions (time, device status, location, or sensor).
  5. Add device actions such as “Turn on living room light” or “Switch off smart plug.”
  6. Name your scene and save it.

Popular Tuya Scene Examples

1. Morning Routine

At 7:00 AM, lights turn on gradually, curtains open, and the coffee machine starts via a Tuya smart plug.

2. Away from Home

When you leave home, all lights and plugs turn off, thermostat lowers temperature, and cameras activate.

3. Movie Night

Dim the lights, close curtains, and turn on smart speakers with one tap for a cozy cinema atmosphere.

4. Bedtime

Turn off all devices, activate night mode on cameras, and set thermostat to a comfortable sleep temperature.

Advanced Tips for Tuya Scenes

  • Use multiple triggers (e.g., time + motion sensor) for smarter automation.
  • Link Tuya with Alexa or Google Assistant for voice-activated scenes.
  • Combine climate control devices for optimal energy savings.
  • Create seasonal scenes (e.g., heating in winter, cooling in summer).

Conclusion

Tuya Smart Scenes make your home truly intelligent by coordinating devices into seamless routines. Whether you want convenience, security, or energy efficiency, the Smart Life app offers all the tools you need to design the perfect automated lifestyle.
