🔀 Tuya WiFi Inching Relay Range
⚡ Key Features
- 1-Channel Dry Contact Relay — single relay output (NO/COM/NC); acts as a switch only — does not provide power to the connected device
- Inching Mode (Momentary) — relay closes briefly (~0.7s) then auto-opens; perfect for pulsing gate motors, garage door triggers, and electric lock releases
- Self-Locking Mode — relay stays on/off until toggled; for lights, pumps, 12V LED strips, and sustained on/off control
- Tuya SmartLife Platform — works with the free Tuya Smart or SmartLife app on iOS and Android
- WiFi Direct — No Hub — connects straight to your 2.4GHz WiFi network; no Zigbee hub, bridge, or gateway required
- DC 5V Input — powered via USB 5V or any 5V DC supply
- Voice Control — Amazon Alexa and Google Home compatible
- Timers & Schedules — set up to 8 single/repeat/countdown timers per device via the app
- Device Sharing — share control with family members via the Tuya SmartLife app
- IFTTT Support — create advanced automations via the SmartLife IFTTT integration
The relay output is a dry contact (NO/COM/NC). The DC 5V input only powers the WiFi board — it does NOT pass through to the relay. Connect the relay contacts across your gate motor’s trigger terminals or device switch circuit.
🏠 What Can You Control?
Gate Motors
Wire NO + COM across your gate motor’s trigger terminals. Set inching mode. One tap in the app sends a brief pulse — opens or closes the gate from anywhere in the world.
Garage Doors
The inching pulse triggers the garage opener just like pressing the wall button. Power the ST-DC1 from a USB 5V phone charger near the opener.
Electric Locks
Trigger electric strike or magnetic locks. Inching mode releases briefly then re-locks. Set SmartLife scenes: doorbell press → unlock for 5 seconds.
12V DC Devices
In self-locking mode, switch 12V LED strips, pumps, fans, or any low-voltage device on/off via the app or voice command.
🔄 ST-DC1 (Tuya) vs eWeLink SV — Which One?
Both are 1-channel WiFi inching relays. The ST-DC1 uses the Tuya SmartLife platform — ideal if you already use Tuya devices at home. The eWeLink SV uses the eWeLink/SONOFF platform and accepts DC 5–24V input. Choose based on which app ecosystem you prefer.
