[APP][Pro] Tuya Zigbee App

You can read the startpost, and learn how to add, or ask for adding a new device via Github. Can you please remove the interview, or place it in a quote.

I already did, but did not get e response.
Thats wy i tride Here. Seems to me the app develpement is done? @Thunder

I updated my Bridge to a Pro, but the Lidl bulbs do not work in there. Actually it looks like they do not work in Bridge either if I add them again. They can be added without problems, and they semi work. But I cannot set the color temperature and other problems.

I tried to use the “Interview” from Developer. It did not help.

I have two of the same type of bulb on the sofa. One in Bridge (added a long time ago), and one in Pro (added now).

This is bridge:

And this is Pro:

The last one in Pro is like “weird”. I can press warm temperature, and it is colder than if I press cold. Colors is the same. If I press the color “wheel”, then the color is not set to what I press, and the “dot” in the app moves to another place.

I tried to add the same bulb back into Bridge, and it was acting weird there as well. So it is like they only work because I added them a long time ago.

Any idea on what to do?

Did you install the most recent app version?
https://homey.app/a/com.tuya.zigbee/test/

Yes Peter. Version 0.2.73 Test. But both the Tuya Zigbee and Lidl app behaves the same way.

The only way to get everything “right” is interviewing the device AFAIK.

I can’t explain why a light added a long time ago works fine, and remove & re-add it makes it act differently.
An change in the app(s) causes it perhaps.
Did you try the stable app version as well?

No need to remove the app, just install it from the app store:
https://homey.app/a/com.tuya.zigbee/

I did interview. It did not help.
In Developer I can change the temperature and hit “set”.Nothing change.

The Lidl app is the stable version. The same version running on the Bridge.

I think it is weird the working version is "socket (Virtual Light) and the non-working is “Light”. It all looks correct, but the light is not behaving like it should. I can select colors etc.

I now tried to uninstall the Tuya test app. And the single bulb started to blink. I then installed the stable version. I selected a RGB light and it found the Lidl bulb. But it said “no driver found”. It is just using a standard Zigbee driver. And then it works !

Hello,

Does anybody have any news from @johan_bendz ? I do not see any github activity since months and same in this forum if do not mistake :slightly_frowning_face:

Best,
JérÎme

P.S: for those who requested a driver for the Tyua version of the Owon THS317-ET-TU temperature sensor, here it is: Owon THS317-ET-TU sensor by jrevillard · Pull Request #1230 · JohanBendz/com.tuya.zigbee · GitHub

After 1 year of non activity of the original dev.
I hope we can bé avalable to do another app.

I hope that homey can allow me to take the source of this app. And make another community app name like "tuya revive ".

I have push modification on my github ( dlnraja) forking this app for 2 types af services with coding powered by cursor ( ai ) and tried with the command "homey app install " anf its working.

If Homey autorise me i çan do it for all device request on the waiting list.

Best regard.

Hi dlnraja that would be great because I don’t know what’s happened to Johan Bentz, I hope he’s fine but we are a stucked with non working device’s.

Thanks for making the effort,
Best regards Peter.

Update: I have only just now seen the instructions on how to do it. Thank you and my apologies.

It’s not their source, so they have nothing to say about it. However, the app is published under the MIT license, so you can fork it and create a new app based on it.

That would be great!! I think best way is to create a fork. :+1:t2:

I believe Athom mentioned in one of their podcasts that they were collaborating with @johan_bendz to update the Tuya Zigbee app with new devices and come to a new stable version. Johan also mentioned this here: [APP][Pro] Tuya Zigbee App - #4802 by johan_bendz

@Doekse: Do you have an update on this matter?

What you are referring to is (I think) that was mentioned that they wanted to collaborate with Jurgen Heine on taking over the [App][Pro] Tuya Cloud - Apps - Homey Community Forum app.

At that time the Tuya Zigbee community app still seemed somewhat well supported and the Tuya Cloud app was already abandoned.

Hmm, maybe. Though my earlier linked post of Johan was quite specific:

Though I must admit that that post originated from the time that the relationship between Athom and Tuya was in a better stage then now. On the other hand: that (relationship) was mainly related to the cloud app, not the Zigbee app.

Still wondering whether the indicated/planned evolution of the Zigbee app is still something Athom is working on together with Johan or others).

I think if you look at the timeline: first you had both the Tuya Cloud and Tuya Zigbee app. Then the Tuya Cloud app got abandoned and only after that Athom announced their partnership with Tuya. That’s when I think the post you shared was created.

Then the relationship between Athom and Tuya got troubled and at that point in time in the Homey podcast the team mentioned that they could perhaps take over the Tuya Cloud app as workaround.

Yes the question is from me as thedlnraja on the podcast 8.

Hello everybody. I’m just beginning my journey with Homey,
WIth this app, I successully added to Homey several curtain modules, door/window sensor, light switch and socket switch
even simply adding the modelId and manufacturerName to the list in the driver.compose.json
 but now I’m having a strange issue with a Tuya device.
I installed the experimental version of the app.
The device I bought from Aliexpress is this one:

https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005007798797852.html

I paired this sensor through Tuya Zigbee app and it is correctly added and recognized. It has the following
“modelId”: “TS0601”,
“manufacturerName”: “_TZE200_3towulqd”

which appear to be supported “natively” by the app. It apparently has a different form factor from the smaller sensor, but it should have the same capabilities (motion, luminance, battery).
The issue I’m having is that in Homey app I can’t see any update for movement or luminance.
I tried to debug the interview result with the help of Gemini and it suggested me that, even if added to Homey, at some point inside the interview there is this set of lines.

{
“acl”: [
“readable”
],
“id”: 0,
“name”: “zoneState”,
“value”: “notEnrolled”
},

So the sensor appears as “not Enrolled” to coordinator.
I tried different modification with the help of Gemini, looking at the log while in homey app run but I’m not a programmer and I have no knowledge on homey SDK. Has anyone any suggestion?
Thank you to everyone who can help.
