Tuya Smart Zigbee Fingerbot Plus

Tuya Smart Zigbee Fingerbot Plus (CR2 Battery Version)

The Tuya Smart Zigbee Fingerbot Plus is a compact smart home automation device designed to remotely control traditional buttons and switches without requiring any wiring or modifications to the original device. The CR2 battery version delivers a practical solution for automating appliances that cannot be easily upgraded to smart versions.

Key Features

The Fingerbot Plus uses a replaceable CR2 3.0V battery that provides long-lasting operation, typically lasting 8-12 months with regular use of 10 button presses per day. The device is powered up simply by removing the battery insulation sheet, making initial setup straightforward.​

This model communicates via Zigbee 3.0 protocol, which requires a compatible Zigbee gateway for operation. Unlike Bluetooth versions, the Zigbee connectivity ensures reliable remote control, quick response times (typically within 2 seconds), and seamless integration with home automation systems. The device is compatible with the Tuya Smart Life app and can also be integrated with Home Assistant through ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT.​

Technical Specifications

The device features a compact form factor with dimensions of 34.5 × 34.5 × 34.5 mm and weighs just 38 grams, making it easy to position on virtually any switch or button. The mechanical arm delivers a maximum torque of 2.0 kgf·cm with a 12 mm maximum arm movement, providing sufficient force for most standard buttons and switches. The push force is rated at 10N.​

Operating temperature range spans from -10°C to 45°C with humidity tolerance of 0-95% relative humidity. All components are certified with CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications.​

Installation and Control Methods

Installation is simple and non-invasive—the device attaches to buttons using double-sided 3M tape, eliminating the need for screws or permanent modifications. After installation, users should allow 24 hours for full adhesion.​

The Fingerbot Plus offers multiple control methods:

• App Control: Use the Smart Life app to trigger actions remotely​

• Voice Control: Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home (requires a gateway)​

• Manual Touch Control: Features a touchable area on the top of the device for direct activation without the app​

• Scheduling: Set timers and automated schedules within the Smart Life app​

• Programming: Create programmed sequences with delays of 5 seconds or longer between actions​

Operating Modes

The device supports three primary operating modes:​

• Click Mode: Performs a single quick press and returns to neutral position

• Switch Mode: Suitable for toggle switches, pulling or pushing the switch mechanism

• Program Mode: Executes preset combinations of movements with customizable delays

Home Assistant Integration

For advanced users, the Fingerbot Plus integrates fully with Home Assistant. Through Zigbee2MQTT, it is identified as model TS0001 with manufacturer ID _TZ3210, allowing full parameter configuration including movement limits, delays, and operational modes. Configuration parameters available include lower/upper movement limits, reverse function, and battery percentage monitoring.

​

Maintenance and Considerations

Battery replacement is straightforward—users simply open the back cover and swap the CR2 battery, observing correct polarity. The device features a modular arm design, with additional arms available separately for adapting to different button types.​

A critical consideration is that a compatible Zigbee gateway is required for full functionality. Without a gateway, the device cannot be controlled remotely or via voice commands.​

When calibrating the downward movement parameter in the app, careful adjustment is essential to avoid excessive force that could damage the device or the target button over time.
