In post 1 i see a reference to how to i use/install a Tuya plug but no solution for the problem i have with the plug. Adding it as a device to homey is easy. The switch funtion works but de energy value are not updated. They are frozen.
In Github i see that the same problem was reported as a bug : The Smart Sockets have power monitoring capabilities. When the app restarts for whatever reason they update their status properly. They respond to on/off commands. But we are not receiving any update from the devices while it is just in use. Earlier investigation confirmed no events were being received.
Let’s get back to this issue again…
This morning I saw that I had a new version of the app and almost all of my devices had an exclamation mark.
Restarting the app didn’t fix the issue.
Instead of removing the devices and adding it again, I was able to repair the devices. This also saves the trouble of fixing flows where the devices are used.
However I need to repair each device separately. Repairing means: login to Tuya site, tick a box, prove you’re human by sliding the piece of the puzzle, select Tuya Smart, hit next, sliding the piece of the puzzle, enter credentials and authorize. For each device! There were some more steps but I forgot. Is there a way to repair them all at once? Or keep the login information?
Hi there, first of all let me say Sorry, Im new to all this!
I have a bunch of Tuya devices and went for Homey so I could add a bit of intelligence to some flows as I intend having a lot of devices eventually.
All I want to do initially is to check if a Tuya thermometer sensor is over a certain value, if it is I will do something else. I have the device listed in Homey as Red Tank (water not military) and have found the va_temperature attribute in the When part of the flow, but how do I say va_temperature > 50?
Hopefully its easy and I have missed something obvious
I sync the homey devices with Google Home, but with Google Home i can’t control this ADV devices. But I still have to investigate this further, otherwise this is something for another topic
Steve, click on #value in the push notification card and select the top most entry in the list shown. It is by default a placeholder and can be set to any value available in Homey. Then save.
Hi Tjerk, I had a go at that but how does the value va_temperature get into #value, do I have to match them up or something? Do you know of anywhere that I can learn more about this stuff - in particular the tuya app?
Hi
I seem to be getting closer as I understand more but the challenge I think I have is that Im using a Temperature and Humidity sensor rather than a climate sensor which has not yet been implemented to the Tuya app so all I have is the raw controls and no ability to trigger. So, my question now is, can I try and fool homey / Tuya to think that my temp sensor is a climate sensor or have I wasted my money on this? Or, is there some other way to get things working?
Yes, you can start by reading the first post, so you’ll be able to create a request for the device you like to be supported; it’s all centralized at the app’s github page.
Yep, I made a device request for my heatpump (AdlarCastra Aurora 2). Hopefully the tile will be available before the cold season starts … . In the meantime I play around with no success until now.
Wired switches can be added by using the device category, Wall Plug.
Wireless Switches are a separate new category and were added today, called Buttons.
Yes, you can also automate each individual switch on both of the above device types.
However, we are still missing wired relays, which would complete the set.
