Hi, so for my next question
I’m trying to link A-OK Blind motors (AM45b-20/17-e-XP). At the moment they have their own ZigBee 2 wireless bridge which works via Tuya.
However, I would like to remove this Tuya link if possible and have Homey Pro control it directly via Zigbee. is this a possibility in some way?
My main reason for removing Tuya is because I don’t like the interface I don’t like the connection and I find it generally unstable when bridging it to homey.

In my case, the Tuya connection is very stable. Do you use the official Tuya app or the Tuya cloud app?

Also, that’s not a Zigbee bridge. It’s an RF (433Mhz) bridge. You can’t add it directly to Homey, since there’s no Homey app for this specific brand.

Ok thanks.
Any suggestions of possible work around options?
Or somehow improving the Tuya setup so it’s local?

Why does it need to be local? The Tuya cloud connection should be stable. Do you use the official Tuya Homey app?

I find the Tuya cloud connection unstable, not just on this device but on any devices I’ve set up using it.
I should also say that something between Tuya and Homey doesnt send the signals either. (Fully works in Tuya App)

Do you use the official Tuya app?
This one?

I don’t have any issues with this app, it always works. Do you mean that it drops offline often? Is it also offline in the Tuya mobile app, or only in Homey.

Ok so on the Tuya app itself it always works. No issues.
using the official Tuya app in homey pro I see the devices but this particular one doesn’t work when any buttons are pressed.
All other Tuya elements work fine just appears to be this set of blinds.

You can also create “Tap-to-run scenes” in the Tuya mobile app, and trigger them from Homey using Flows (and Virtual Devices if you want to control them from the Homey app), that might be more stable

That works better for sure. Is there a way I can make a virtual device with the 3 buttons (open / close / pause) rather than having 3 flows for each blind?

I figured it out using VD and mapping. Thank you. You’ve been a great help.
