Tuya App WiFi Smart Door Lock FAQ
Q1: Can a temporary access code be revoked before it expires?
A1: Yes. Open the Tuya App, navigate to the passcode list under your Paramey lock, select the active temporary code, and tap "Delete" or "Revoke Immediately". The code stops working within 10 seconds, even if the guest has not used it. This is useful if a guest cancels or if a code is accidentally shared.
Q2: What happens if my Tuya App WiFi Smart Door Lock loses internet while a temporary code is active?
A2: The lock stores temporary codes locally. If WiFi goes down, the Paramey lock continues to accept the pre‑saved temporary code based on its internal clock. However, real‑time expiration checks (like remote deletion) require reconnection. To be safe, always set a usage limit (e.g., 1‑time use) for critical short‑term access.
Q3: How many temporary codes can I create at once on a Tuya App WiFi Smart Door Lock?
A3: Most Paramey models support up to 100 active temporary codes simultaneously. Once the limit is reached, you must delete old or expired codes before adding new ones. The Tuya App shows a warning when approaching 90% capacity. For heavy‑use scenarios like vacation rentals, review and purge codes weekly.
