The TBC-163WF WiFi Smart Time Switch & Energy Meter is a versatile, DIN rail-mounted device that combines intelligent load switching, programmable timer scheduling, and comprehensive real-time energy monitoring into a single compact module. Designed for the demands of modern smart home and light commercial automation, it bridges conventional electrical control with IoT connectivity through a 2.4GHz WiFi interface.
Integrated with the Tuya Smart Platform, the TBC-163WF allows users to control connected loads remotely via a mobile application, create automated scenes, and link with other smart devices for whole-house automation. Manual button operation on the device ensures reliable local control when network access is unavailable.
Built with a flame retardant PC housing and rated for a wide operating voltage range of 90–300V AC at up to 63A, the TBC-163WF is engineered for installers, system integrators, and facility managers seeking a reliable, intelligent energy management solution.
The TBC-163WF is constructed around a 35mm DIN rail form factor with a single 18mm module width (82mm H × 18mm W × 50mm D), making it directly compatible with standard distribution boards and modular enclosures. The flame retardant PC housing meets the requirements of indoor panel environments and provides reliable insulation up to 500V. The device operates across a broad voltage window of 90–300V AC at 50/60Hz, making it suitable for deployment in varied grid environments without modification.
At its core, the TBC-163WF integrates a precision energy metering circuit capable of simultaneously measuring voltage, current, active power, and cumulative kWh consumption. All measured data is transmitted in real time to the Tuya Smart Platform and is accessible through the dedicated mobile application. The built-in WiFi 2.4GHz module enables seamless connectivity to standard home and commercial wireless networks, while the onboard manual button provides a reliable fallback control method independent of network availability.
The device's smart protection engine continuously monitors circuit parameters and automatically disconnects the load when overload, short circuit, over-voltage, under-voltage, or over-current conditions are detected, safeguarding connected appliances and downstream wiring. CE and RoHS compliance, together with alignment to IEC 60947-6-2, confirm the product's suitability for professional electrical installations.
The TBC-163WF employs a solid-state WiFi communication module operating on the 2.4GHz band to interface with the Tuya Smart Platform, enabling bidirectional data exchange between the device and the mobile application. The internal switching mechanism is rated for a mechanical life exceeding 1,000,000 operations and an electrical life exceeding 100,000 operations, reflecting the use of high-endurance contact materials appropriate for frequent switching duty cycles up to 63A.
The energy metering subsystem samples voltage and current waveforms continuously, computing real-time active power and integrating energy consumption into kWh records stored in historical logs. The protection logic operates independently of the WiFi connection, ensuring that overload, short circuit, over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-current events trigger immediate automatic disconnection regardless of network status. Standby power consumption is rated below 2W, minimising parasitic losses in always-on installations.
