Rudi, we know it’s not the easiest configuration, but I get this feeling more and more: could it be a possibility Tuya ‘blocked’ **new users** to connect with the [iot.tuya.com](http://iot.tuya.com) API? Similar to like what happened to [new users of the ‘official’ Tuya API](https://community.homey.app/t/app-cloud-official-tuya-app-for-homey/106779/720)? It’s a bit funny how _ **error 1106** _ suddenly seems to be a very common error, don’t you think? 1106 is similar to _credentials not accepted_ / _not allowed_. Again Tuya seems to like forcing customers to stay within their kingdom. Oddly enough Tuya Wifi still works fine as Home Assistant integration! Including a Tuya howto: [https://developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/Home-assistant-tuya-intergration](https://developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/Home-assistant-tuya-intergration) ---

Agreed. This seems somewhat too much of a coincidence! The fact that the HA route still works is not really a surprise. That integration is built by Tuya themselves and is a different solution than the Homey Tuya Cloud and Homey Tuya official apps. ---

Jurgen\_Heine has updated the first post indicating that it seems Tuya has blocked this app as well. Now it just seems that Tuya is actively blocking all Homey-Tuya users ---

It was me actually, @Rudi_Hendrix Jurgen is not active here. 😉 ### EDIT: App still works fine, I removed the remark from post # 1 again > [@Emiliano\_Quetimporta](#): > > very difficult to avoid tuya True. But check the app store, or best buy guide (but keep doing your own research), to see if there’s any alternatives for the device you’d like to buy. Also, when a smart device is dead cheap, you should be wary 🤷‍♂️ It’s possibly Tuya based. ---

> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > It was me actually, @Rudi_Hendrix Jurgen is not active here. 😉 Ah, thanks! I thought he’d add a line just to make people aware. So, we’re not sure if Tuya actually cut this cord as well or if people just ran into unforeseen issues. Or can you confirm this work around is completely disabled? > [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > > [@Emiliano\_Quetimporta](#): > > > > very difficult to avoid tuya > > Also, when a smart device is dead cheap, you should be wary 🤷‍♂️ It’s possibly Tuya based. > [@Emiliano\_Quetimporta](#): > > Indeed, penny wise, pound foolish BS Yes, when devices are this cheap, I will expect them to last less long than more expensive devices. However, the app and service that Tuya delivers is perfectly fine! It works great. Tuya even went through lengths to create an integration for Home Assistant, that way supporting people that don’t want to rely on the Tuya apps. It’s just the official Tuya app where Tuya now wants money from Athom/LG. And since they seem to be reluctant to pay up, I think it is unfair to blame people that went for Tuya devices ---

No no, I was not referring to the build quality. I started out with Homey, and a bag full of LSC Wifi stuff (sale from a store 😬), over 4 years ago. Except for the plugs, it works fine. But I’ve moved Tuya over to Home Assistant, which runs next to Homey (my HAmey 😜). I even have Tuya lights and sensors outside and in a shed, surviving heat and frost. With this > [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > Also, when a smart device is dead cheap, you should be wary 🤷‍♂️ It’s possibly Tuya based. I only wanted to show how one can _expect_ a device to be Tuya based, while in general they’re the cheapest on the market. This as response to "you often don’t / can’t know a smart device is Tuya based. ---

Ok, fair enough. In that case you’re an exception 😜 Most people argue “If it is that cheap, you can’t expect Tuya to support it very well and long” And that is where I really disagree! In the long run if you want to continue to use Tuya devices with Homey, your setup is the best option. I am going to look into that as well. However currently I am still in luck as both the official and the community apps still work. Determining if a device is Tuya shouldn’t be that hard, right? They’re all labeled as Tuya somewhere I think ---

Thanks! The official Tuya app seems broken for “older” users as well now. This community app does work to some extent. Can someone confirm it is impossible to install and use this app as a new user? Because in the end @Olegs_Pavlovs did manage to get the app running; it was just his device that is not supported. @Frans_Keeman , @Guus_Dupon , you guys didn’t get any further? Furthermore, I am not a developer, but there must be someone who can take over the work where Jurgen Heine left it? With the proper knowledge it should be pretty straight forward to create a branch from the current code and work from that? ---

> [@Rudi\_Hendrix](#): > > must be someone who can take over the work where Jurgen Heine left it? > With the proper knowledge it should be pretty straight forward to create a branch from the current code and work from that From what I know Jurgen is cool with transferring the app to an other dev.
