As the concept of the smart home becomes more and more popular, more and more people want to transform their homes into smart homes. But smart appliances are generally expensive, so how can you quickly experience the convenience of a smart home in a cost-effective way? So, the smart circuit breaker is a "conversion tool" for traditional appliances! Today we're talking about the DIY case for smart circuit breakers for creating smart scenarios that bring great convenience to life and productivity.

What is a Smart Breaker?

Smart breakers can be easily set up into the wiring of existing appliances in your home, and the circuit can be controlled by mobile phone app or voice, easily realizing the intelligent transformation of existing home equipment. The control panel is responsible for controlling the circuit and the networking module is responsible for intelligent networking.

After the device is connected to the cloud through the module, it can be connected to smart speakers such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home, through the cloud platform, as well as through the App to achieve cloud control of the device.

What is the Smart Breaker Market?

With the advantages of low cost and easy operation, smart breakers are favoured by developers and DIY users. They have become a best-selling product for smart home modification. For example, in lighting products, we can associate smart breakers with relevant circuits to turn traditional lighting products into smart ones in seconds. It features functions such as remote control of switching lights on and off, setting timer modes and scene linkage.

In addition to lighting products, intelligent circuit breakers are also widely used in air conditioners, heaters, water pumps, fans, washing machines, TVs and other product forms to meet the needs of various areas such as homes, offices, warehouses, outdoor and public buildings.

What are the DIY Cases You can Refer to?

TUYA Smart has launched smart breaker solutions for the smart breaker sector, quickly creating products that users will love. The smart circuit breaker is available worldwide with TUYA's complete development ecosystem, a public version of the TUYA APP that is development free and a stable and reliable cloud service. The following are the specific scenarios in which smart breakers can be used in smart home technology.

1. Easy to Install

Smart breakers are suitable for the intelligent transformation and upgrade of ordinary distribution boxes. Its small size eliminates the need to replace the original appliances and other equipment in the home and add any other devices. It can make traditional appliances smart in seconds without changing the original home decoration style. The smart circuit breaker is easy to install based on the installation of ordinary circuit breakers with more gateway signal lines, which can be installed by DIYers.

2. Remote Control

After accessing the Tuya App, you can control your home electrical appliances connected to the smart breaker remotely via the mobile app, regardless of the distance, or whether you are on a trip. All Powered by Tuya-based smart devices can be controlled through one TUYA App and linked across brands and categories.

The living room lights will come on and the curtains will slowly close, allowing you to enjoy a smart and comfortable home environment with voice commands.

4. Monitor Energy Consumption

Different electrical appliances consume different amounts of electricity. The traditional circuit breakers do not have the features to solve the proposed environmental protection and energy saving, safe use of electricity. Using smart breakers to monitor the electricity consumption of your appliances in real time, you can clearly see the daily and monthly electricity usage on the app.

You will understand the usage of each high-power consumption appliance and have a positive approach to energy management for your smart home system. Starting from intelligent power distribution, smart circuit breakers can make electricity use safe, energy-efficient and controllable. Real-time monitoring of back-end devices ensures safety and energy efficiency.

5. Intelligent Timing

The smart breaker has a wealth of timing functions to help you solve the small worries of life, such as intelligent timing, cyclic timing, random timing and intelligent countdown. You can use this feature to create smart scenarios for your appliances based on your own ideas.

Cyclic Timing

You can set a total period of time, within which you can set the time period to turn on and turn off, and then it will be cycled on and off at this time to help you free your hands. For example, you can set the time for the lights to switch on and off according to your own schedule, so you can enjoy a sensory-free lighting environment.
