I’ve managed to get an Elko Smart Termostat (WiFi) connected, but its reporting the temperature using 2 digits for the fraction. Is there any chance you can add 100 as a temperature divisor? The current option is limited to 1 or 10.
Hi Danny
Yes — I’d recommend it. The app connects to the device, so it needs the address to stay where it is. If your router hands the device a different IP later, the app keeps knocking at the old one and the device goes unavailable; the log then shows EHOSTUNREACH for that address.
The cleanest way is a DHCP reservation in your router rather than a static address on the device itself — Tuya devices generally don’t let you set one anyway. On a Fritz!Box it’s the “always assign the same IPv4 address to this device” checkbox in the device’s detail view; other routers call it a static lease or address reservation.
If it does happen, nothing is lost: look up the new address in your router and correct IP address in the device’s advanced settings. The local key stays valid — that only changes if you reset or re-pair the device in the Tuya app.
Glad the lights are working

Thank you
Good evening, when I try to add a thermostat, after setting the IP, device ID, and local key and connecting. I see all the correct data (current temperature, set temperature, status), but when I try to save I get the error

Hi Roberto
Please try the latest TEST version and let me know if it works now: Tuya Local | Homey
Thank you
Working perfectly. Thank you!
I had some problems connecting to the thermostats. Out of six, I managed to connect four without any problems; the other two took a bit of trial and error.
Everything works now.
I even managed to find the dual switch, which, for some strange reason, advertises a MAC address, but uses a different one online.
Overall, it’s a bit of a challenge, but I hope this is the end of the thousand attempts with apps that use cloud computing.
I noticed a small issue with the app. My router and access points reset overnight. I assigned all DHCP reservations to ensure the same ones, but the app doesn’t automatically reconnect to the devices when the network comes back up. In the morning, I restart the app and everything works again.

This is the current data in the Tuya local app.
Most values look ok
The issue is that in homey the DP’s 112 and 126 are not showing a value. .
What would be the correct JSON setting to show these values in the correct way? That is een textstring.

Hi Roberto
when the network returns, the app opens a connection to each device again. For devices on protocol 3.4 or 3.5 there is a key exchange right after the connection opens, and if the device doesn’t answer it — common while it is still starting up after a power cut — the app waited for a reply that never came. No timeout, no retry, and nothing written to the log. A device on 3.3 can end up in the same place: after several failed attempts the app tries the other protocol versions, and if the network comes back while it happens to be on 3.4 or 3.5, it gets stuck the same way. Restarting resets it to the configured version, which is why your mornings worked.
There was a second half to it: the stalled connection was left open, and these devices accept exactly one connection at a time — so it kept the device unreachable even for later attempts.
Both are fixed in 1.0.177. The connection attempt now has its own time limit, and a handshake that goes unanswered is closed and retried like any other failure. Timeouts also get a proper explanation in the log now instead of a bare error line.
I also added a flow action, Reconnect devices, which reconnects everything at once instead of needing one flow per device. You don’t need it for this bug any more, but it is handy on a schedule or a button after the network has misbehaved. The default, “offline devices only”, leaves working devices alone, so it is safe to run repeatedly.

Hi Guus
Could you please provide the Cloud Lookup Table?
Thank you
Andi
Thanks,
I tried the suggested version, disabling the reset flows I had created. Last night, everything worked properly. I’ll keep monitoring the situation over the next few days.
I’d like to ask something about the heating systems: I can’t control the oscillation and power level from the flow, even though both exist in the local and cloud DPs.
Hi Roberto
Could you please provide the Cloud DP Table of the Heater?

Hi,
I tried the new version.
The level is indeed present, but changing it doesn’t change the object’s behavior.
I tried to see how the cloud database changes when it’s changed from the SmartLife app.
The enumerator changes between
level_1
level_2
level_3
I wrote a flow that allows me to set only the level, but it never changes even though no errors are shown in the log.
I don’t know if this can be helpful, but on Tuya Developer Platform - Device Debug, the level has the following structure:
level Enum
{
“range”: [
“1”,
“2”,
“3”
]
}
Hi Roberto
