Product Information
Full details
The Whadda WPI354 Tuya IoT Interface is designed for hobbyists and developers looking to remotely control and monitor their Arduino projects via WiFi. Its key benefit is enabling global control through a free, user-friendly app, though users should be aware of its compatibility limitations primarily with ATmega chipsets. This module allows direct control of digital and analog pins, monitors input states, and supports linking multiple devices within the expansive Tuya ecosystem.

FAQs
What Arduino chipsets is this module compatible with?
The Whadda WPI354 is primarily compatible with ATmega chipsets, which are common in many Arduino boards (AVR platform).
Do I need to pay for the Tuya app or cloud service?
No, both the Tuya app and the cloud services are completely free. There are no additional subscription fees required to use this module's features.
How many outputs can I control with this module?
The module allows you to control up to 5 outputs on your Arduino project.
Can I control both digital and analog pins?
Yes, you can directly control digital and analog output pins, and monitor the state of digital and analog input pins on your Arduino.
What type of WiFi network is required?
A 2.4 GHz WiFi network is required for the module to connect to the Tuya cloud.
Can I control multiple WPI354 modules with one app?
Yes, the Tuya app allows you to add, control, and link multiple devices, including multiple WPI354 modules, at once.
What is the operating temperature range?
The module operates within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C.
Troubleshooting
Device not connecting to Tuya Cloud
Verify your WiFi network is 2.4 GHz and that the Tuyav library is correctly installed and implemented in your Arduino sketch. Check router settings for potential blocking.
App cannot control outputs
Ensure the digital/analog output pins are correctly wired to the module and that your Arduino sketch properly assigns and controls these pins. Check if the module is limited to 5 outputs and you have not exceeded this.
Input pins not updating status in the app
Confirm that the input pins are correctly wired and that your Arduino sketch is actively reading their states and sending them via the Tuyav library. Check for correct pin assignments in the sketch.
Module is unresponsive
Check the 5V power supply to the module. Reseat the module's connections to the Arduino. Try a different Arduino board or USB port to rule out board issues.
