[App][Pro] Tuya Cloud

[Sander24]

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.

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.

Hey @Sander24

[App][Pro] Tuya Cloud

Search for “jackass” in this topic, you can use the search button: [Screenshot_20240502-211851_Chrome] There’s a manual in Dutch, created and linked to by user Jackass. I also posted a YT video, sometimes seeing the expected results can help. Just search for “youtube” in this topic. Here’s a Dutch topic if you like

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?

[Sander24]

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

@Bote

I miss your temp sensors in the app

@Bote

I miss your temp sensors in the app.

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

[Bote]

Hello!

Thanks for reply but where can I find it? I’m a bit new to this.

[robertklep]

Scroll up.

[Bote]

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

Sincerely, Fredrik

[Marius_Stensrod]

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

[Bote]

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…

[Marius_Stensrod]

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

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

[Bote]

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.

[Marius_Stensrod]

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”:

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

[Bote]

[Marius_Stensrod]

I understand. Try to make the flow I posted.

[Peter_Kawa]

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.

Scenes

This app support the use of scenes. In the mobile Tuya/Smart life app you can make ‘Tap to run’ actions( In the past they where called scenes). Those actions can be called in a flow from this app.
The scenes for the official API are not automatically updated, for now new scenes will only appear after a restart of this app.

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:

Tuya has officially joined the “Talks With Homey” program

Hi all, just as a heads-up; as of today Tuya has officially joined the “Talks With Homey” program. Which is great news! They are currently working on API endpoints that would enable us to built an official integration without the need to dive into developer accounts. We are hoping to launch the official App later this year! Keep you posted! Moved from Topic about the Community App: [App][Pro] Tuya Cloud - #2197 by Dijker
