[APP][Pro] Tuya Cloud - This app allows you to connect Homey to the Tuya cloud

if it has been 6 months since you created the developer account this is likely the problem.

The free developer accounts stop after 6 months, you will be able to control your devices like on/off but tuya wont send any realtime updates back to homey over the websocket tuya cloud app creates. If this is the case you have to login to the developer portal and request a 6month extension. Be aware that this request can take over 24hours to be active.

@Henk_Renting

those are the logs, there is another tab/page that lets you control devices through the developer portal as well.

Go to the project you created in the tuya portal devices tab. Than hit debug device on the device you want details on. Then you’ll have 3 tabs, second tab device debugging.

Options that are not grayed out are set parameters if you change things and hit send instructions, your device should act accordingly. Things like percent_state as in my screenshot below are key elements to build out the tuya cloud app to make devices work.

Thanks @Jepke
[EDITED] I managed (I think). I didn’t see anything there when “Control Instruction Mode” was on “Standard Instruction”. After I changed to “DP Instructions” I did see the information you showed.

Will send you a PM with the screenshots.

Could be that standard controls are not available and DP is the only option. My dehumidifier has both standard and a few advanced controls.

Hi! I’m trying to copy this, but not really sure how to set the AVD. Do you have screenshots of your AVD? Thanks!

where are you unsure?

Thank you! I’m not that familiar yet with AVD and I see I was missing some check-boxes. The forward and reverse, is that a text button or…?

ik was een plaatje vergeten, voeg het toe aan post hierboven

Dankje! Krijg alleen geen berichten vanuit Tuya, maar dat komt vermoed ik omdat mijn license verlopen is. Heb inmiddels weer 6 maanden aangevraagd, kijken of dat helpt.
Bedankt voor je uitleg in een veel eerdere post en fijn dat je dit wilde delen!!

Hello everyone, have anyone had issues with updating the power consumption of the Gosund sockets? I have four of them, am using Tuya app which shows power properly. In the homey app however, it is shown correctly when the socket is on. If it’s off, the power consumption stays at the last level (when on). See screenshot. I guess for two grayed out ones (off) it should be 0?

Might be a Homey app issue imho, not Tuya app?

yes i have the same problem with tempreature update

bonjour, avez vous trouvez une solution pour contrĂ´ler vos interrupteur volet roulant maxcio? merci

@G_X @Gerhard_Klein If you’re not getting metrics/values from tuya cloud make sure to check if your 6 months didnt expire first.

This is a nasty thing tuya does beyond control of Homey and the Tuya cloud homey app. You can pay tuya 25k to get a permanent licence, or renew manually every 6 months.

Go here to check IoT Core is the key thing afaik.

@Jepke, I just did Tuya thing a month ago, so still within 6 months period. I have used Gosund app previously to be honest. The Tuya app shows Current Power value correctly when the socket is off, which is 0. I was thinking the sockets might be faulty as it allegedly often happen to be, but Tuya app shows the power consumption just fine.

Funny thing, I have one socket that is powering Christmas lights (LEDs). When it’s on, the Homey app shows a nice power consumption graph indicating different LED modes - blinking, fading etc. So my guess would be either there’s a bug in Homey App when the socket is off or Tuya app doesn’t communicate correctly with the Homey.

In technical terms the Tuya cloud homey app builds a single WebSocket with tuya over which all those messages are transported. So if 1 works the other should technically work too. But tuya does send garbage messages from time to time.

My first step to troubleshoot would be to log in to the iot tuya portal and compare/debug both devices. Device controls as well as all the measurements are available there.

Worth mentioning is that Tuya’s Iot portal communicates to their Iot Core. The smartlife, tuya or other branded apps also communicate directly to the the Iot core. Which is significantly different to how the homey app communicates.

Any thoughts on this?

Hannes, I don’t think it makes sense.

Almost a year ago Jurgen quit the app.
We’ll have to find a developer who wants to take over.

Ow shit… never got this memo. That’s pretty sad to hear as it’s a super powerful app…

Thank you for letting me know Peter, appreciate it.
