[App][Pro] Tuya Cloud

i have the same problem. Done everything and have connection from app to developer site.
still getting error code 1106. tried every possible option for hours now. does this app still work. also renewed Lot core subscription. nothing works

anyone knows an answer what goes wrong?

i got the same error code 1106. i have done everything but still nothing

Is your region set correctly?
Do you login using your phone number or E-mail address?

Yes region is set correctly and i use my email adres to login.

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 API? Similar to like what happened to new users of the ‘official’ Tuya API?

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

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’s a successful way to lose customers.

I won’t be buying anymore Tuya devices.

I just bought a eurom heater, I guess I’ll return it. It’s still very difficult to avoid tuya, they have so much white labeling

What about this workaround?

Homey ifttt app → ifttt applet → smart life

It was me actually, @Rudi_Hendrix Jurgen is not active here. :wink:

EDIT:

App still works fine, I removed the remark from post # 1 again


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 :man_shrugging: It’s possibly Tuya based.

Indeed, penny wise, pound foolish

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?

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 :grimacing:), 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 :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:).
I even have Tuya lights and sensors outside and in a shed, surviving heat and frost.

With this

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 :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: 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

I’ll check with Tuya to see if this issue is being caused on their end by blocking our users. I’ll keep you all posted!

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?

Nope i did not get any further. It gives the same error every time

That’s sad to hear. Let’s hope things will work out in the long run

From what I know Jurgen is cool with transferring the app to an other dev.
And he (probably) is still willing to merge PR’s and push updates to the app store.
