Look for the ‘Raw commands’ howto

@Peter_Kawa

search for ‘raw commands’ in post #1 please.

Retreive state isn’t possible, but when the state changes, it will be available as the last known state.

[erliang89]

another stupid question, how do I use the signal bot to capture the parameters? is it a separate app or something?

[Peter_Kawa]

It’s part of the CallMeBot app.
Try the search function

Of course you can send results to timeline, or Simple Log cards, or push message etc.
I like to use Signal while it keeps all messages, timeline doesn’t

[erliang89]

thanks a ton, now it is working exactly as I wanted

[Jurgen_Heine]

There is a new test version, Jonas Enge added the garagedoor opener . Because I don’t use Homey anymore, I could not test myself, but as promised I still make new version when someone is making a Pull request.

Hi Jurgen.

Great job with the app and nice clear setup instructions!
Is it possible to add the Smoke Detector WIFIDS10WT? I have managed to link it in the Tuya IOT Platform, but they do not show up in Homey.

Keep up the good work!

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi,

The Tuya Smart X5/X6 Wifi door lock, is that supported?

[Peter_Kawa]

Hi Andreas,

[App][Pro] Tuya Cloud

All, I will stop actively development of this app, thank you for using the app. The reason I stop is that I moved to Home Assistant. I had Zigbee problems, so I needed extra hub, not all 433 devices I had did work with Homey and I saw that sometimes events get lost( papertrails did give insights in this). Besides the problems I am not completely agree to force SDK 3 without updating all of their own apps( or make available so a community dev could take over) and the decision not supporting Matt…

@apkanthony @Tirrazo
Almost everything is supported, when you can’t add it as device, just use tap-to-run scenes or RAW commands:

[App][Pro] Tuya Cloud

When adding the device doesn’t work, try this neat section of the app. Howto: -With the flow below, you’ll “listen” to event messages of your devices; In this example a message of the ‘text’ type, which will return text, numeric and yes/no values. This way, when you trigger the device you want to control from the Tuya Smart mobile app (Google store / Apple store), or when you just activate a sensor, you’ll catch the device ID, function name and function value events, which you’ll need to tr…

Hi there,

don’t know if I am right here, but wanted to report some bugs:

That’s not the only issue I encountered: I have a Tuya device with two switches that you can connect to a physical switch and a lamp with two channels. The device in the screenshot is this piece of hardware.

It’s NOT possible to use the smart switches in the device with a “then” card … had to use the workaround with a scene in Tuya.

It’s kinda weird since I already installed numerous of these devices without any issues. However, the newest one (which is exactly the same as the other ones!) is not working properly with Homey.

Is this a known issue?

[Matthieu_Moreau]

Good morning,

I try to connect my Tuya account to Homey, but I constantly have this error

Could you help me ?

[Tirrazo]

I can see this is for advanced users and takes a lot of time to set up.
Also, the component I am going ti buy is quite expensive and don’t know if this works.

[Peter_Kawa]

Hi NGH,

Please read the post above yours.
(We have to find a new dev…)

[Ewen_Le_guennec]

I use raw commands for sensors doors,humidificators,oil diffusors,ect…and when you understand how it works,it’s very simple to make flows😉

[NGH]

Hi!
Yeah, I just read the second part. Now I understand. That’s unfortunate sigh …

[NGH]

That sounds interesting. Is there a nice tutorial that enables me to understand it?

[Bert_Wissink]

You can use the Tuya Cloud “numeric message received” (or boolean or text) in an “If” card to trigger a flow. And you can use a Tuya Cloud “Start a scene” card in the Then card to execute a Tuya Cloud scene. You should define a “Tap-to-run” scene in your Tuya cloud App for a scene you want to have executed.
Hope this helps.

I today added a device (aroma oil humidifier)
Works great in the smart app . But it doesn’t report anything . Also tried a lot of defaults command and it gives could api failure.

I have several devices running on raw commands like my heatpump , heatpumpboiler and some sensors . All functional and report everything in the broadcast messages .

This devices doesn’t report anything when getting turned on or changes modes thru the smart life app.

Anybody have some suggestions why this devices doesn’t report/broadcast any messages or doesn’t respond to some default commands to turn on ?

[Peter_Kawa]

Is the aroma device showing up in https://eu.iot.tuya.com/cloud/ devices overview?

[MarcoRuiter]

Hello Peter,

Yes it was there with all the right settings. But i also send a mail to the tuya IOT platform support and the replyed in the night. Seems that the device was “so new” they did not implement the needed info for it into the IOT cloud server, they seem to have a backlog.

They did the adding of the template straight away and now the devices has functions in the json there that can be controlled

So if somehow a new devices doesnt have any functions and message broadcasts its most likely a new one and you can send a mail to tuya support to get it added.

Working like a charm now with raw command. I love the raw option since its so easy with advance flows. Just like my heatpump and combined with the Device Capabilities app possibilities are endless

[Peter_Kawa]

Hi Marco (and others),

When you should have to wait for a device to be implemented @ Tuya iot, you can use tap-to-run scenes, that should (always) work:

[App][Pro] Tuya Cloud

You can control almost all non-supported (mains powered) Tuya devices by using Tuya Cloud Execute a Scene card in flows. You can’t use sensors to start flows this way. (But, certain Motion- and Contact sensors are supported by Tuya Cloud app now) Example: Diffuser control via Tuya Cloud ‘Execute a Scene’ card At your phone: Add the diffuser to the Tuya app. Create 2 “tap-to-run” scenes inside the Tuya app. A scene for “Switch diffuser & led on” Dito for the “off” function. To g…
