No, your IoT core is expired. Extend that and most likely stuff will work again. ---

@Peter_Kawa @Rudi_Hendrix @Yankee_Delta This is also totally new to me. Now I do understand why my Luminance Motion Sensors never report(ed) any illuminance\_value. Switching to DP instruction (for whatever that might mean) solves it. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/2/620adf04b115563458fee35e402d2dde5fad62fc.png) Thank you @Yankee_Delta for these insights! ---

hello For me, the connection to the cloud works without problems, but I do not have a device on the list that is called in the Tuya API: Inverter Pool Heat Pump Product Type:Water Heater Is there any possibility to add this device to the list of devices and start using it in homey? ---

Hi Diego, welcome here! It’s all in the first post my man: > [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > It’s probably not supported as device.

I created new accounts and I can finish the configuration in Homey app and add the a new Tuya device (motions sensor). However, when I trigger the motionsensor, I get a notification in the Tuya mobile app and the log in the developer interface is updated, but the motion sensor in Homey is not updated? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/2/d261006580a5a89d8864c7b99c7ae97e2df2ce9a.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/1/71621fe1b0c2d3546d93aba130a930a65fc66c66.png) ---

Correct. My account was de-activated and after a request to extend the account and waiting for about 3 days, all my Tuya devices start working again. ---

Hello Yes, I read it and I know it is possible. I asked the question wrong. The question is whether it is possible to add a device with an ID that does not exist now to the Tuya Cloud app. After reading its ID and then switching it to RAW mode, try to control it This is how I added the underfloor heating controller and switching it to RAW started working properly ---

I masked my email (I used a emailadress as username). However, i created new accounts and now I get the motionsensor in Homey. But, when motion is triggered; nothing happens in Homey (but I can see events in Tuya IOT platform). See pictures in previous post. ---

> [@Pysto](#): > > Does it mean that i’ve to expend trial period every 6 month??? Everybody does that? Yes, it’s the price we ‘pay’ for using the API without charge, 5 minutes of work. You could create a Homey flow which alerts you twice a year, you can extend it just before it expires, no need to wait to when all Tuya stuff stops working. If you choose pay for it, it’s not an expiring trial anylonger. But I guess you’ll extend the trial period happily twice a year, when you found out the price of a paid subscription. ---
