Anyone had the issue where you added a device to the Tuya app and then you try and add it in Homey and you get a quick screen saying âfound a new deviceâ but then âNo device foundâ comes up and the device isnât added.
I would like to start by thanking @Jurgen_Heine for his great work on this app, and I hope someone else at some point might be able to take over. I have never developed an app, and frankly wouldnât even know where to start, so I donât think it could be me.
With that said, because of the fact that @Jurgen_Heine built raw commands into the homey app, I have been able to use a device that is not on the list of devices yet.
I have created a advanced virtual device with all the characteristics of the device (in my case a CREATE fan, that included a Tuya / Smart Life controller) and use raw commands to update the virtual device when an update is received from the Tuya IoT platform and vice versa.
The raw commands / messages from Tuya to Homey all have the format
DEVICE ID - COMMAND - VALUE OF THE COMMAND.
I am very happy with this, as before I was using controlled the fan with homey by going to IFTTT and then run a smart life scene, but I would not get an update if I would control the fan directly (with remote or smart life app)
If you would like to add you own device, you can see the structure, and data type of the command under device debugging in the Tuya IoT platform

hallo
ik krijg het niet aan de praat met de nieuwe verdie van de api .
is er ergens anders nog een makkelijkere handleiding ?
of iemand die mij kan helpen hiermee of dit voor mij in orde kan maken ?
Hello, I have just reinstalled the app, using Smart Life. No issues. What seems to be troubling you?
I have a bug in the software for a thermostat that shows 230g instead of 23.0. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this?
Tuya uses integer values as default. So it sends 230 as value.
But the device should have a decimal factor defined (in Tuya developer page). Can you check if itâs defined there?
thanx. ill check
my homey keeps saying that iâm using an old api .
but i have made a new one on the tuyacloud site but it wont work to update it .
Hi. Itâs seems like itâs just some Tuya products that can be integrated with homey. It would be nice with a list of usable products.
Here are products I have included with great success 
Thermostat 230v https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqkc1d6
Fire detector

Did anyone already took over development for this app?
i have the same problem. it has worked without problems for monts until a few days ago! Man im starting to hate tuya. But ive no choice sinds not all my devices are supported by the tuya zigbee app, or i simply dont know how to flash tasmota to myblind motors
Since today I got an error when I try to switch an wifi plug on or off. The error says âMissing Capability Listener on/offâ. Any idea whatâs wrong? I allready restarted the app and Homey, but that doesnât help.
Just got the same issue, have been working for months. Tried removing and adding connection between tuya app and the API but still not working.
Same here.
Same here. Deleted the app, reinstalled and try to add the devices again. Couldnât find anyâŠ
For the âit worked for monthsâ issues:
youâll have to extend the âiot coreâ free trial period every half year. Itâs on the https://iot.tuya.com/cloud site.
Hmmm. There is almost no restriction.
Just a few posts earlier someone wrote this (itâs also in the opening post of this topic):
Thereâs no automation for that, Iâll suggest to spread the word and try to find someone yourself 
I have different products that wonât integrate, especially thermostats that also control the heat pumpâŠ
