Anyone know how to get RGB options in Homey Pro? I use Tuya cloud app inside Homey… Thanks.
What do you mean? And does it work in the native app?
Hi,
I have a new wifi device in the Tuya Smart Life app and I am trying the add it, using the new API method.
I have configured the Tuya IOT platform , filled in the “API ACCESS ID” and “API access secret”.
My landcode is “32” and therefor, I have created the project using the ‘central Europe’ server.
Using the old method, power plugs and switches are working just fine.
Using the new, method, I keep on getting the message “Please configure the app first”.
- I have restarted the app
- I did check the server setting: it is central europe
- login credentials are correct
What could be wrong?
And yes:
- I do realise you do not have a crystal ball
- You most likely are not a psychic
- Some of you do not have special powers
But maybe, somebody could point me to the obvious mistake ?
Same here…
I linked the Tuya app in the Tuya IoT cloud, but no devices were found… What could be wrong?
The “IoT Data Analytics” has maybe been renamed?
It seems it is called ‘Data Dashboard Service’ now. But this probably is of no notable influence on the app?
Aha, where exactly did you link the Tuya App in the Tuya IoT cloud?
I am in your debt; this did the trick!
Thank you!
That could have been in the description

Yes it works in native app but want to control colors i Homey pro…
Woops… I used West Europe instead of Central Europe…
Everything works fine!
I’m giving up on this. Now i created an account with https://iot.tuya.com/
I’ve done the guide at top… Linked my Smart Life account, i see all my devices in Tuya Smart Developer Center
I’ve added the Smart Life login info, copied it from app… So all is right…
Put in the login Authorization Key info, copy passed… so all right
Still i get msg when trying to add deveices in Homey: Config app…
Also waited half an hour between tries.
All worked fine before, now after the new demand of createing API etc… much work and nothing works anymore.
Anyway, thanks for the work you all put in. I know its free work 
But i’m thinking this is not smart anymore, just to much work 
The new Tuya API is working with percentages. But I have to search if old way is still supported. I need a diagnostic report to which device category you have.
Not all functions are implemented yet or will be implemented. It’s huge amount of work to program everything, or it’s difficult because I don’t own a particular device. Remember, I am just a user who is using my skills to build an app to get support for devices. In my opinion your reaction is a shame.
You can always use tap-to-run with scene. Search tread for how-to and/or info in opening post. You can also combine this with s virtual device.

I don’t use the Tuya Cloud App and have integrated my Tuyas into Homey via the Home Assistant. But here too, there are major problems with the new API and not everything works.
Please understand that the developers do this for free as a pure hobby and not all problems can be solved immediately.

@grim, you have to follow the guide to the letter, skipping one step, or doing one thing wrong results in non working connection to API. It’s not my choice of how to connect, but this is for now the only way to connect to the official Tuya API for free. The AppId and secret are not required if dropdown is set to legacy, but be aware that support for old API will end.

Not sure what u mean?
My RGBW lights can be controlled just fine. Otherwise use the tap-to-run method (search for the how-to in this topic)

@Jurgen_Heine Thank you very much, I just updated to latest test version, and everything is now working as expected. My Wifi multisockets are now working, I can control them in the app, see the power consumption, and my flows triggered by MQTT can control the socket state (ON/OFF).
Thank you again for your hard work

Hi @Jurgen_Heine, Can you help me with an issues. I’m using the tuya cloud for multiple devices and most work fine. You recently added PIR support so I tried to add my PIR however it does not show up in the homey app when trying to add it. The PIR is visible on the IoT platform portal as synced devices however the homey app show the message “Please configure the app first.” so it does not see a PIR or something. I’ve waited for more than an hour but still nothing to add. I added screenshot of all details of the device.
Thanks!
You have not done all steps for configuring official API if you get the message “Please configure the app first”. If the old devices are working, the username, password and business should be correct. So follow the steps carefully, look in this thread for extra tutorials and explanations. You only have to wait for legacy devices, new API should be instant.
Hi @Jurgen_Heine thanks for you message. I have again follow all instructions and read the posts of @Jackass. I also looked at the instructions on Please configure the app first - in de Tuya cloud app - Zo doe je dat zelf. I also configured a new API on the Tuya IoT platform to start from scratch. But I keep getting the message that the app needed to be configured. I also try to configure it from app settings and more settings one of the solutions from @Jackass however it didn’t seem to help with me. I validate the API key and secret 100 times. What am I missing?
Only legacy devices seems to be working due to the username and password. I check all API configurations, country settings etc. Not sure what to do.
Below are screenshot of my configuration:
