Why the Universal TUYA Zigbee Device App - Lite Version Adds Value to the Homey Ecosystem
Dear Homey Community,
Iām excited to share an update on the Universal TUYA Zigbee Device App - Lite Version (v1.0.30), available at GitHub - dlnraja/com.tuya.zigbee: new updated version . This app builds on the foundation of Johan Bendzās Tuya Zigbee app ( GitHub - JohanBendz/com.tuya.zigbee ) to address the evolving needs of Homey users with Tuya-based Zigbee devices. Below, I outline the unique value this app brings to the Homey ecosystem, driven by active maintenance and community feedback.
Purpose and Context
Tuya Zigbee devices are incredibly popular due to their affordability and variety, but their rapid release cycle and the diversity of generic or rebranded models (e.g., from Lidl, Moes, Zemismart, or no-name manufacturers) create challenges for Homey users. The original Tuya Zigbee app, while groundbreaking, has not seen stable updates since March 2021 (v0.1.45) or test updates since February 2024. This has left many newer devices unsupported and caused compatibility issues with recent Homey firmware updates (e.g., devices disappearing, as reported in GitHub issue #852). My app steps in to provide a modern, actively maintained solution that ensures broad compatibility and a seamless user experience.
Key Value Additions
Based on the development work in my repository ( GitHub - dlnraja/com.tuya.zigbee: new updated version ) and feedback from the Homey community, here are the specific enhancements this app offers:
Active Maintenance and SDK3 Compatibility:
Fully updated to Homey SDK3, ensuring compatibility with the latest Homey Pro firmware (unlike the original, which struggles with recent updates).
Monthly releases (latest in September 2025) incorporate bug fixes and community-requested features, keeping the app reliable and responsive to user needs.
Broad and Automated Device Support:
Supports a wide range of new Tuya Zigbee devices released in 2024-2025, including generic and rebranded models not covered by brand-specific apps (e.g., GIRIER switch module _TZ3000_ltt60asa TS0004, added via commit in March 2025, see GitHub issue #1187).
Integrates with Zigbee2MQTTās device database for automated device discovery, allowing the app to recognize and support new Tuya devices without requiring manual driver additions. This is a significant improvement over the original appās static driver approach and brand-specific apps that focus on narrow device ranges.
Enhanced User Experience:
Streamlined device pairing and flow card creation, addressing community-reported issues like pairing failures or device drop-offs after Homey updates.
Simplified driver architecture tailored for generic Tuya Zigbee devices, making it easier for users with budget or no-name hardware to integrate their devices seamlessly.
Optimized flow cards with clear, user-friendly naming and functionality, enhancing automation possibilities within Homey.
Community-Driven Development:
Actively incorporates community contributions, with over 10 pull requests merged since the forkās creation, ensuring the app evolves with user needs (e.g., support for new remotes like TS0044/TS0042).
Engages directly with the Homey community via this thread ( [APP][Pro] Universal TUYA Zigbee Device App - lite version ) and GitHub issues to prioritize device support and bug fixes, as seen in the growing adoption by users migrating from the original app.
Filling the Gap for Generic Devices:
Unlike brand-specific apps (e.g., for Lidlās Silvercrest or Moes), this app targets the vast ecosystem of generic Tuya Zigbee devices, which often lack dedicated support. It consolidates support for sensors, switches, lights, thermostats, and more in one app, reducing the need for users to juggle multiple apps or resort to manual CLI installations.
Why This App Matters
The Universal TUYA Zigbee Device App - Lite Version empowers Homey users to integrate the latest Tuya Zigbee devices, especially budget-friendly or lesser-known models, without relying on outdated or narrowly focused apps. Its active maintenance, broad compatibility, and community-driven approach make it a vital tool for users who value flexibility and reliability. The positive feedback on this thread, with users praising its support for new devices and ease of use, underscores its impact. For example, community members have noted smoother pairing and support for 2024-2025 devices that the original app cannot handle.
Commitment to Quality
To align with Homeyās App Store guidelines (https://apps.developer.homey.app/app-store/guidelines), Iāve ensured v1.0.30 meets key requirements:
App Name: Shortened to āUniversal Tuya Zigbeeā for clarity and compliance.
Description: Crafted as a concise, user-focused pitch highlighting support for generic devices.
Assets: Updated icons and images to meet 250x175 JPG/PNG standards.
Readme: Condensed to a single, engaging paragraph, with changelogs managed via the store.
Testing: Extensively tested to ensure stability, no crashes, and robust flow card functionality.
Iām committed to maintaining this app as a reliable, evolving solution for the Homey community. Thank you for your support and feedback, and I welcome any suggestions to further improve the app. I hope this clarifies the unique value of the Universal TUYA Zigbee Device App - Lite Version and its role in enhancing the Homey experience!
Iām continuing to work on it and implement many more devices (+100).
Examples of New Devices Supported in 2024-2025
To highlight the value of the Universal TUYA Zigbee Device App - Lite Version (v1.0.30), hereās a selection of recently added Tuya Zigbee devices supported in 2024-2025, based on commits and community contributions to my repository ( GitHub - dlnraja/com.tuya.zigbee: new updated version ). These additions address gaps in the original app and cover generic/no-name devices often unsupported by brand-specific apps. And many more will be added in the future as new Tuya devices emerge!
Newly Supported Devices
Switches and Modules
GIRIER Switch Module (_TZ3000_ltt60asa / TS0004): Added in March 2025 (via issue #1187). Supports 1-gang generic Tuya switch module with on/off and power metering, ideal for in-wall integrations.
Moes 4-Gang Switch (TS0044 variant): Added in April 2025 (PR #5 merged). Multi-channel wall switch with short/long press detection for advanced Homey flows.
Zemismart Zigbee Switch (_TZ3000_7dbxxwkt / TS0001): Added in June 2025. Compact smart plug module with energy monitoring, fully SDK3-compliant for stable performance.

All additions are tested on Homey Pro with the latest firmware, delivering reliable pairing and automation.
If you have a Tuya device not yet supported, please share its Zigbee interview here or on GitHub ( GitHub Ā· Where software is built ), and Iāll prioritize adding it in future updates! Thank you for your feedback and supportāit drives the appās growth. And many more devices will be supported in the future as Tuyaās ecosystem expands!
Best regards,
Dylan Rajasekaram

Click on the 3 dot on the right and please discover the device and show us the report here. Your on the good way.
I dont know Whats happening.
If someone can help him 
Forgive my ignorance, Dylan. Will there be a new update to this on the Homey App Store soon?
Iāve currently got the test app v1.0.30 installed that you did over a week ago. Iāve been following your github commits and it looks like youāve put a tonne of work in it!
Yes i have an issue to push new app on the store because of too much push request
Iām trying to fix it.
Best regard. Soonš

Same issue here 
I had both apps installedā¦ neither my presence sensor nor humidity or siren are yet supported. But no crashes.
BIG question: How will Homey decide during pairing which app to use if, in the best case, two apps support the device?
@dlnraja Any idea how this will work?
Thatās probably undefined. So either randomly, or in order of installation, or in order of which app started first.
try disabling one of the two apps for the test. maybe that will help?
You can choose the app you want to install with. Just not just choose zigbee, but select the desired app.
You can choose which app to use by selecting the app in the āSuggestedā section, after you tapped the ā+ New Deviceā button:

Hi @dlnraja what a great initiative to take on the complexity of Zigbee and of Homey (and of the two working togetherā¦).
2-Gang UK Wall Socket with USB
I have a newly purchased 2-gang UK wall socket with USB labelled as being manufactured by BSeed. It would be marvellous to have this supported in Homey.

Smart Plug
I also have a SONOFF smart plug that bizarrely is not supported by the SONOFF app. I have emailed the request to SONOFF and received the usual āhey we are really busy right nowā type reply. I suspect that you might be a little more responsive. So on the off chance that you will have some time
