Hi Rrrr,

First try enabling DP instruction, the RAW events _should_ be sent in theory.

My knowledge on how to add device types to this app is zero.  
Take a look at the github commits to start with:  
[https://github.com/jurgenheine/com.tuya.cloud](https://github.com/jurgenheine/com.tuya.cloud)

You’ll need to know the ‘product category’

```auto
{
            "type": "socket",
            "category": ['cz', 'pc']
        },

```

Your device has this one

Technically the 8-station sprinkler controller is comparable to an 8-gang relais (also called switch) , maybe that simplifies things, you could use a 2-gang relais driver code as template / starting point.

It’s possible when you write the code (or ask someone to write it) and test it when you merged it with the downloaded app code.  
When you [install it by CLI](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-cli-install-method/198), you can execute `homey app run` from within the app directory.  
This way it returns all errors at your console.  
When all’s set, install the app by `homey app install`
