[App][Pro] Tuya Cloud

When a device is not directly supported, no problem:

I can code, usually these plugins are JavaScript, python etc based so I can make edits if we find the problem, I don’t know how to upload them in homey tho
 if we can download source (or acces homey root) we can edit it and upload as a custom package probably, I’m new to homey but have edited old plugins on homebridge before 


Okay! You can fork the source repository and install it on your Homey using the command line (search forum for “how to cli”) - you’ll find the link in the app store app page.
When you found the culprit, and managed to fix it, you can create a pull request on Jurgen’s repo page: Please search github for the procedure.
If all succeeds, hopefully Jurgen approves the pull request, and publishes it as app update.

I have forked it and started editing, have not setup CLI for homey yet will do that later to test it out.


I hope this might fix the problem, but not sure how Homey reacts with this class


Ah! That explains it I think.

The class is valid, this could work.
If it doesn’t, you can use class other, and if I’m right, users can select “what’s pugged in”, after they installed the garagedoor device.

Is is possible to add zigbee temperature/humidity sensors?
I have added the Danfoss Ally Gateway with thermostats successfully with Tuya Cloud through Smartlife but I don’t see an option for the sensors.

It should, but they might be unsupported as device.
When you can’t add the sensors as Tuya Cloud device, just use the workaround called RAW Commands, as clearly stated in post #1 or this topic.

So I can still listen to the raw commands even if the device is not added in Homey?

Also is there a reason why temperature/humidity sensors are not supported and for instance CO sensors are?

Correct. That’s the main purpose of the RAW Commands option: being able to use unsupported devices :wink:

No clue, but irrelevant: you can use almost anything when you use RAW Commands / tap-to-run scenes. It just takes a bit more effort.

As you’ve read in post #1, the dev has quit maintaining the app someday.
But when you are able to add a temp/hum sensor to the app, he’ll be happy to push it as app update to the app store.

Im receiving raw commands now so that works! Thanks.

So how can I add to the app myself? What exactly do you mean by that?

Great!

You have to know how to program (an app) and how you can add a pull request to the github repository of this app.

I’m afraid that’s over my head.
But thanks formulier help!

Hello, I’m having issues with Error Code: 1106, permission deny. I have read from top to bottom, followed each step with no luck.
I have downloaded the Tuya app and the Smart life app and pulled them into the IOT developer platform but can not get either the Tuya or Smart to connect with Homey. My certificates are good, just created account last week and show active. I also made sure I was logged out of Tuya and Smart life app while trying to connect to Homey.

I then used the same API and secret code and was able to integrated the Tuya switch into my Home Assistant, in less then a minute, what the heck. So I know my parameters (username, password, API, secret code, certificate/license, and Server location) are set right.
I then tried to import the Tuya device from Home Assistant but I get an error message from Homey saying “Good news! This device also works directly with Homey. Search in the Homey App Store for Tuya”, ugh!!!

Supper frustrated but I have not given up hope :wink: Hoping someone has a suggestion of what I might have missed in the installation/setup for this Tuya app to work with Homey.

Seems like you did everything right. Only thing I can imagine is the region is different


i have a heat pump device connected to my tuya app and would love to connect is to homey. is it possible to add the function to the app

Only when you know someone who can add the needed code to the app.
In the meantime, search the 1st post for the “tap-to-run scenes” workaround.
This is a workaround to control any Tuya Cloud device.
When you need to receive sensor values, search that post for the RAW Commands workaround.
