Hi. I need some help. I have been able to add a 2 gang switch into Homey via Tuya Cloud, though when I try to select which switch (ie there should be 2 options) I get the following error: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/e/befe74e363ef3547ee36178363e0eaf2ac5d8a2a.png) How can this be fixed? I have around 20 more light switches to add as well. Also note the switch is only available during the ‘WHEN’ part of the flow. It is not visible for ‘AND’ or ‘THEN’. FYI I can control it from Homey when viewing devices ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/2/52ecfa5f3889a2ec4f59950c2ae2e48619f27197.png) In case the following is of any help ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/a/8af0525749a2348bd196a68d9aeb877a272fd7bb.png) ps I have been able to use the device by using scenes - not preferred but ok for workaround Thanks ---

From the second image, it looks like you’re seeing a single switch with multiple properties. I suspect that’s a cul-de-sac. Instead, I suggest exploring the ‘raw’ options described in the first post in this topic (there are several examples of using ‘raw’ here too). The [developer tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices) might also help pin down ids. Andy ---

Hello, for several days now all our devices connected via tuya have stopped working. Even when I want to add a new device, the app says: please configure app first. but it is. I have also checked all the settings. Nothing has been changed! What could be the reason? What can I do? how do I search for the error? the devices are online in the tuya app and they can all be controlled via the smartlife app… thanks for your help in advance! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/e/fe38db233b99221b2a182c5faaa050cfcf7df4de.png) ---

Perhaps it is: **Q2: Will I be billed after the free trial of the API service expires?** - After your API service expires, go to **Cloud** \> **My Services** on the [Tuya IoT Development Platform](https://iot.tuya.com/) to request extending your API service by up to 6 months. 1.

Hi, I have strange problem. At random, usually during the night, one of my light bulbs comes on for a few minutes and goes off again. It might do this 2 or 3 times in the night. The light is not mentioned in any flows or any other automation. When I look at the device log, it states “turned on xx hours ago by Tuya cloud”. As I understand it, this means that the light was switched on by the Tuya Smart Life app, not by Homey. But I have no scenes set up in the Tuya Smart Life app, so how can this happen ‘automatically’ in the middle of the night? I removed and deleted the light bulb and replaced it - but now another light bulb is behaving the same way! Could it be faulty light bulbs? Any ideas? ---

Devices rarely switch on / off by themselves. However it’s possible they _can turn on_ after a short power dip. Double check on any ‘forgotten’ tap-to-run / automations. Also try to disable the Homey Tuya Cloud app for a while, to see if Homey is, or isn’t involved. When you’ve added Tuya to f.e. Google Home, also check what’s programmed there. ---

Hi, I’m having the same problem. Everything is configured right, and also still working in the Smartlife app. I also don’t have “My Serives” but I know where you can find the info: If you go to Cloud - Cloud Services you can see all the services. Also the ones you’re subscribed to. In my case, IoT Core is on top of the list. If the trial period is expired you can extend. Maybe you have to click on View Details first. I’ve already done that a while ago, so this doesn’t seem to be the problem. I don’t know what is though. ---

Only reason for this to start working is the fact that I reset my old Homey Pro to factory settings. It was already powerless for weeks, but that is the only thing I can think of.
