Tuya Developer Forum

hello, i am currently developing an android app using Tuya Sdk android for kotlin, i want to ask, how to detect which wifi is tuya hotspot for AP mode, which is not ?

Hello developer, first of all, what is AP mode? In simple terms, it is a mode where the WiFi name, password, and other information entered through the app are sent to the device by putting it in a waiting-to-be-configured state. The device, upon receiving the corresponding information, connects to the WiFi with that information, completing the configuration and successfully coming online.

In AP mode, you first need to reset the device to put it in the waiting-to-be-configured state for AP mode before you can find the corresponding device hotspot. Secondly, the intelligent device has already fixed the name of the corresponding hotspot during development, and the hotspot name for each device remains unchanged. This information is usually provided in the product manual.

How to confirm that the device has entered the corresponding AP waiting-to-be-configured state? For most devices, the indicator light will flash slowly. Please refer to the product manual for specific details.

Furthermore, please pay attention to whether the device supports the ability to connect to 5GHz WiFi. If it does not support 5GHz WiFi, please use the corresponding 2.4GHz WiFi for configuration. Attempting configuration with dual-band WiFi or 5GHz WiFi will result in configuration failure.
