1. Terra Smart Motor: Unboxing & Component Guide
What this covers: A full walkthrough of what's in the Terra motor kit — the motor head and internal components — plus the basic assembly steps needed before you start track installation. Start here if you've just received your motor and aren't sure what each part is for.
2. How Do I Pair My RF 01 Remote with My Terra Tubular Motor?
What this covers: A quick sync guide for the single-channel RF 01 remote — this is the video to watch if your remote has stopped responding to the motor ("Remote Not Working"). The video walks through re-pairing the remote and motor, a process the video shows takes under 60 seconds.
3. How Do I Connect the RF 02 Multi-Channel Remote?
What this covers: Pairing and channel-switching for the RF 02 remote, built for controlling multiple curtains from one remote. Relevant if you're running a multi-curtain setup — either a larger home installation or a commercial project with several motors.
4. How Do I Set Upper & Lower Travel Limits?
What this covers: How to set the exact open and close stopping points for your motorized curtain using the remote, so the curtain stops at precisely the right position every time rather than over- or under-traveling. Watch this if your curtain isn't stopping where you want it to.
5. How Do I Set Up WiFi Control via Smart Life or Tuya App?
What this covers: Step-by-step pairing of your Terra motor with a 2.4GHz WiFi network through the Smart Life or Tuya app, enabling smartphone control and automation schedules from anywhere. Note: your router needs to be broadcasting on the 2.4GHz band specifically — most dual-band routers support this, but it's worth checking if pairing fails.
6. How Do I Connect My Terra Motor to Amazon Alexa?
What this covers: Linking your smart curtain motor to Alexa for voice-activated control, once WiFi setup (Video 5) is already complete.
7. How Do I Install a Bendable Motorized Curtain Track?
What this covers: Installation guidance specifically for curved windows — how to align a bendable track with the motor for smooth, friction-free movement. Relevant if you're installing on a bay window, curved wall, or similar non-straight layout.
Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Most "remote not working" issues are resolved by re-pairing the remote to the motor. See Video 2 (RF 01) or Video 3 (RF 02, multi-channel) above depending on your remote type.
This usually means the travel limits need to be reset. See Video 4 above for the full walkthrough.
Confirm your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz network — Terra motors don't support 5GHz-only networks. See Video 5 for the full Smart Life/Tuya setup process.
Yes — once WiFi setup is complete (Video 5), see Video 6 for connecting to Alexa.
Bendable tracks on curved windows require careful alignment — Video 7 walks through the process, though professional installation is available if you'd rather not do it yourself. Contact us to arrange installation support.
