Apology and Critical Update - Universal Tuya Zigbee v4.3.2
To all Universal Tuya Zigbee users,
I want to sincerely apologize for the critical issues some of you experienced with recent versions of the Universal Tuya Zigbee app. Your diagnostics reports have been invaluable in identifying and resolving these problems.
Issues Identified and Fixed
Based on your reports, I’ve identified and resolved several critical issues:
1. App Crashes on Startup
FIXED
Problem: App was crashing with “Invalid Flow Card ID: battery_below_threshold”
Cause: The app was trying to register flow cards that didn’t exist in app.json
Solution: Removed invalid flow card registrations and added proper error handling
Status: Completely resolved in v4.3.2
2. Missing Driver IDs
FIXED
Problem: 165 drivers were missing the required id field
Cause: Migration oversight during driver restructuring
Solution: Added proper ID fields to all driver.compose.json files
Status: All 186 drivers now have valid IDs
3. SOS Button Not Working
FIXED
Problem: SOS emergency buttons only showing battery reading, no button events
Cause: IAS Zone enrollment issues and missing IEEE address handling
Solution: Improved IAS Zone enrollment with multiple fallback methods
Status: Button events now properly trigger flows
Note: If you still experience issues, try re-pairing the device
4. Battery Information Missing
FIXED
Problem: Some battery-powered devices not showing battery level
Cause: Missing battery flow cards and capability reporting
Solution: Added 162 energy flow cards including battery management
Status: All 65 battery-powered drivers now have proper battery reporting
5. Syntax Errors in Device Files
FIXED
Problem: Some devices showing “Unexpected identifier” errors
Cause: Malformed device.js files during automated generation
Solution: Validated and corrected all device.js files
Status: All syntax errors resolved
6. Flow Card Warnings
FIXED
Problem: 48 warnings about missing titleFormatted fields
Cause: Flow cards with arguments missing formatted titles
Solution: Added proper titleFormatted for all action cards
Status: Zero validation warnings
