Hello,

I moved this week from my homey 2016 to the new homey pro.  
But i cant seem to get the tuya cloud to get working.

I followed the guide from this topic. (the github guide Personally I find kinda confusing because not everything matches with the tuya site)

The account gets paired in the settings menu but when I want the add devices I get a error.

The old homey 2016 still seems to work (turning devices on and off) adding new devices also gives the same error.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/c/fcc161769918b635dc19a445123b316c84feddf2.png)

Any suggestions how to fix this ?

Have you tried removing a device from Tuya and adding it again to Tuya and after that try to add it to Homey again?  
I believe after adding a device to Tuya you need to restart the Homey Tuya Cloud app before the device is found.

Hi,

I followed the Guide again. Made a new project. But still I get the same result.

I also tried the same project within HA and it works perfectly !!  
All devices are found and controllable.  
So I think the cloud project is setup right.

HA works very differently nowadays, you don’t need to have any IoT platform projects anymore. Unless you’re using a really old version of HA?

Im actually not sure about the HA. I only use it for testing some of the zigbee devices and industrial modbus things. It had a Tuya plugin that also asked for the API key etc.

But I find it strange I dont seem to find whats wrong with the Tuya cloud and homey. I followed the guide many times. Made a whole new tuya account but it keeps giving me the same error.

If my garden wasn’t done with all the tuya clooud devices I would switch it over to zigbee.

Hello!  
I miss your temp sensors in the app. I have a Smart temperature and humidity meter that I would very much like to have in my Homey Pro.  
Thanks

You can use the When-cards in my snip, and build your device with “DeviceCapabilities”.

Hello!

Thanks for the answer, but I need a little more help here 🙂 I can’t get the temp sensor into tuja cloud, but it is available in Smart Life. Only find motion smoke co etc but no temp

Have you included it in your Tuya Project, that you made when you followed the “Setup Homey” in post one of this Topic?

I assume so, but when I read autumn up, I see that it only supports according to the picture :-/ I can think that temp sensors are perhaps among the most common things that you want to have with you. But maybe it will…

</div>

Then I assume that you have set up the Homey app and the Tuya project correctly and your project looks something like this:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/3/6395d761a38ae898fc641e556417b607133cc62d.png)

Do you have more devices in your Tuya Project? Or only this one device?

Well, I have my cloud project but no devices. But I have more switches in my Smart Life app and they show up in Tuya Cloud in my Homey Pro would also like the temp sensor to do the same.

Can you share a screenshot/Snip of what you are trying to explain with "show up in Tuya Cloud in my Homey Pro " ? Is the device you wish to add in Homey, in your Tuya Project with a DeviceID?

If my second question is true, look at my snip, make the flow and fill in the DeviceID in the logic card, check if you get some “timeline” events. If you do, then you can build a “VirtualDevice”:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/e/fe38512c0dc938ff5aada36372acad05daa34efa.png)

The cards are in Norwegian, the second card is “loigc - xxxx is exactly xxxx”. The third card is “make a timeline event”

Hello Bote,

I get it it’s pretty complicated stuff 😉 , but I don’t understand why you don’t seem to read post 1 of this thread, as suggested several times with a reason;  
because that gives you the answers about what to do, when you have:

> [@Jurgen\_Heine](#):
>
> # Not supported devices or functions
> 
> Only when device is supported by API, it’s possible to add the device to this app. because I don’t own all device types, it’s hard to implement a device type which I don’t own. Contributions to code are welkom to add unsupported devices. Other possibility is to use raw commands
> 
> ### Raw commands
> 
> You can receive all messages send for devices with trigger cards. Also there are now action cards to send commands to you device. On this way you can interact with not directly supported devices are commands. Combine it with the virtual devices app and you can control most of your devices. It’s a function for advanced users, there is no validation when sending a command to your device.
> 
> To get the device id’s, commands and possible values you can create a flow with the text event received trigger card. This card is returning device id, command and value for each action. Log the returned values to log app to know the commands of your devices, deviceid’s and possible values.

I hope this gets you a bit further connecting with your ‘not directly supported device’.

Or maybe you’d just wait for the Tuya app by Tuya themselves:
