If you have (re)added all of your devices as non-legacy devices, you only have to change the dropdown selector from “Both” to “Use official only” and restart app.

So, the changing of your Tuya smart app password didn’t make a difference?

I have a multi powerplug with usb Ports. With the new api, Is there a way to have the individual switches back again?  
Or ‘just’ with virtual buttons?

Hi,

I recently get the message: Er is een onbekende fout opgetreden: Rate limited. Does anybody know what this means and how it can be fixed?

Thanks,

It’s not a message from Tuya Cloud app, so it is a Homey message or a Tuya message. The last one is only logged internally, so it has to be a Homey message. Also a couple of days I see on this forum the same message about Philips Hue. Never seen the message before and I don’t why this message is comming.

Thanks for clearing that up.

@Erwin_Spierts I think the solution for now is restarting Homey.  
Goto [Homey Developer Tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/system)  
and scroll down until ‘Restart’ button.

Thanks, restart in progress. Hopefully it fixes the issue. We’ll see. I had it earlier and than a restart temporarily solved it. I hope homey has a permanent fix soon than.

I recommend reporting it to Athom. Maybe they can find something in the diagnostic report (instructions are provided for):

.  
@Jurgen_Heine The Hue limit was Homey cloud related according to Athom

Thank you. When the issue reproduces I’ll report it to homey. I’m also planning to move over to tuya cloud so maybe that is a workaround 😉

I know it was for Cloud, but the message is the same. So an other confirmation that it’s a Homey generic message.

It’s in the first post.  
And, did you select ‘Smart Life’ at “Mobile app” (in the Tuya Cloud config page)?

> [@Urknall78](#):
>
> but no device from smart life App in tuys Cloud device Tab.

You mean the Tuya iot project Devices tab? If yes, something went wrong with scanning the QR.

Did you create a separate account for Tuya iot project?  
Is your Smart Life account a real email/password account? → **login with Google or FB does NOT work with this**

Hmm, i tested it now again, and now i see 12 devices on Tuya Cloud Website. First i wait 30 min. and no Device was found. now, after more than 1,5 hour i login again and the devices are there.

So connect SmartLive App with Tuya Website still working.  
Next stepp is to conect the Cloud with homey. - I read 1. post again. english is translate to german, maybe thats why i dosent found what the Skill ID is… i report in next post.

1 Question. is it only over the clod posible to use the devices or is it a direct connection without Internet connection? i use Homey pro to usw everything everytime. Internet-connection error broke the controll function from Tuya Devices?
