Step 1: Download the Mobile App
To get started, youâll need the dedicated Tuya Smart App on your smartphone. Follow these steps:

- Alternatively, search for âTuya Smartâ directly in the Apple App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android).

Step 2: Create Your Account
Once the app is installed, youâll need to set up an account to link your fireplace:
- Open the Tuya Smart on your phone.

- After verifying, select âAdd Deviceâ and choose âElectric Fireplaceâ from the list of available devices.
Step 3: Prepare the Fireplace for Pairing
Before connecting to the app, your fireplace needs to be in âpairing mode.â Hereâs how to set it up:

- Make sure the fireplaceâs main power switch is turned to âON.â
- Locate the âFlameâ button on the fireplace.
- Press and hold the âFlameâ button for 10 seconds (do not release early).

Step 4: Connect the Fireplace to WiFi
Now itâs time to link your fireplace to your home WiFi network via the app:
- Return to the Tuya Smart app on your phone.
- The app will prompt you to enter your home WiFi network name (SSID) and password. Double-check these for accuracyâtypos are a common connection issue!
- Tap âConfirmâ to start the connection process.
- Wait 1â2 minutes for the app and fireplace to sync. Youâll see a âConnected Successfullyâ notification once the process is complete.
- After syncing, youâll have full control over all fireplace functions (flame, heat, timer) directly from your phone.
Step 5: Reconnecting When Needed
If you move your fireplace to a new room or change your home WiFi network, youâll need to re-establish the connection:
- Repeat Step 3 (put the fireplace into pairing mode by holding the Flame button until âCCCâ appears).
