No this is correct. The confusion is Dutch vs English. 7.001 in english is 7, in dutch 7001 7,001 in english is 7001 in dutch 7 so the 7.313kW is 7313W Sorry, I also misread (too old here…) it states 7.313W not 7.313kW So you are correct it is wrong on the second picture. The first screen the wording is Dutch, but the notations are English… the second screen all is in English, and fully correct ---

Not sure if I understand you correctly, but in the several screen shots sometimes the point is used as a decimal separator and sometimes as a thousands separator. So, yes something is “wrong”. Calling it a major issue is sarcastic in my opinion ---

Of course it won’t speed anything up, but perhaps it will open eyes to the very poor methodology used in this case and it won’t be repeated for further integrations in the future. ---

This is a community forum, we should be honest and open with each other. I am happy to take on board your criticism in good spirit. This doesn’t change my point and I felt it was necessary to set Ron’s expectations, as no one else appears willing to do so. Sending my frustrations to support won’t solve anything. Their customer service team will just have to be on the receiving end of their superior’s lack of operational expertise. ---

A fix is already in the works! When measuring power, each plug uses an undetermined multiplier to show the correct power measurements. For example, the plug “sees” 7313, and the multiplier adjusts that to 7,313 Watts. However, the Tuya Gods in all their wisdom have decided to use different multipliers for different brands of plugs. The bug fix will allow you to choose the multiplier yourself 😉 ---

Afaik the device definition provides the multipler. So it can be used while pairing to preset the value in the device. A setting option would be nice nevertheless. > In this example, it’s the scale attribute used to calculate min\_max/step based on the scale. And it’s stored in device store to calculate temperatures. @Doekse ---

FWIW, I tried using the web app to add my first SmartLife device. As previous occasions (with both the web and Android apps) I could not get it to accept my email or phone with the right password. I was about to give up when I decided to try using Chrome instead of Microsoft Edge. Under Edge I was offered two region choices: International ([tuyaus.com](http://tuyaus.com), I think) and China ([tuyacn.com](http://tuyacn.com)). Neither worked. Under Chrome it went straight to server [tuyaeu.com](http://tuyaeu.com) and I got in! I don’t think it’s a difference between the two browsers because they share the same engine. It might be because I have NordVPN active for Chrome, but not Edge. Anyhow, if you registered for Europe, you might try changing the server manually if you don’t see the ‘Europe’ option. Andy ---

I just used the ‘Other’ driver to add a couple of devices and was able to add them to flows successfully using the associated cards. Worked well for me because the codes I needed were provided in the card’s drop down. When I look at the device in the Homey developer tools, I see a chunk of slash-escaped JSON under Settings/deviceSpecification. Putting that text through an [‘unescape’ page](https://onlinestringtools.com/unescape-string) I get: ```auto "device": { "active_time": 1705156292, "biz_type": 18, "category": "tdq", "create_time": 1705156292, "icon": "smart/icon/ay1521618643672lvY0O/09169141a15e708d9bd1559cce74c82b.png", "id": "bfc20dd880dfadd6e8ltrs", "ip": "86.165.239.159", "lat": "50.79", "local_key": "sVyD':%#^]3%BeR6", "lon": "-0.99", "model": "", "name": "USB switch", "online": true, "owner_id": "11054790", "product_id": "flcvzjtnkhsreazp", "product_name": "", "status": [ { "code": "switch_1", "value": false }, { "code": "countdown_1", "value": 0 }, { "code": "test_bit", "value": 0 }, { "code": "relay_status", "value": "2" }, { "code": "random_time", "value": "" }, { "code": "cycle_time", "value": "" } ], "sub": false, "time_zone": "+00:00", "uid": "eu1584011896823Zmpri", "update_time": 1721210722, "uuid": "cbb16e166d1bdcb6" }, "specifications": { "category": "tdq", "functions": [ { "code": "switch_1", "desc": "{}", "name": "开关1", "type": "Boolean", "values": "{}" }, { "code": "countdown_1", "desc": "{\"unit\":\"s\",\"min\":0,\"max\":86400,\"scale\":0,\"step\":1}", "name": "开关1倒计时", "type": "Integer", "values": "{\"unit\":\"s\",\"min\":0,\"max\":86400,\"scale\":0,\"step\":1}" }, { "code": "relay_status", "desc": "{\"range\":[\"0\",\"1\",\"2\"]}", "name": "上电状态设置", "type": "Enum", "values": "{\"range\":[\"0\",\"1\",\"2\"]}" }, { "code": "random_time", "desc": "{\"maxlen\":255}", "name": "随机定时", "type": "String", "values": "{\"maxlen\":255}" }, { "code": "cycle_time", "desc": "{\"maxlen\":255}", "name": "循环定时", "type": "String", "values": "{\"maxlen\":255}" } ], "status": [ { "code": "switch_1", "name": "开关1", "type": "Boolean", "values": "{}" }, { "code": "countdown_1", "name": "开关1倒计时", "type": "Integer", "values": "{\"unit\":\"s\",\"min\":0,\"max\":86400,\"scale\":0,\"step\":1}" }, { "code": "test_bit", "name": "产测结果位", "type": "Integer", "values": "{\"min\":0,\"max\":5,\"scale\":0,\"step\":1}" }, { "code": "relay_status", "name": "上电状态设置", "type": "Enum", "values": "{\"range\":[\"0\",\"1\",\"2\"]}" }, { "code": "random_time", "name": "随机定时", "type": "String", "values": "{\"maxlen\":255}" }, { "code": "cycle_time", "name": "循环定时", "type": "String", "values": "{\"maxlen\":255}" } ] } }" ``` That looks an awful lot like the JSON people have been posting to github and I didn’t have to work with CLI.
