I had a good look at it before I posted. The IP address belongs to British Telecom and is useless on its own. The latitude and longitude are abbreviated; they certainly don’t pinpoint my location (unless you believe I live in the middle of a park). I supposed it might be technically possible for someone with enough skill and knowledge to turn my fan or my tablet charger on or off. But I couldn’t see who would bother to do that. I could always delete and re-add the devices in the Tuya app to invalidate the relevant codes. I’m pretty sure I won’t need to do that. Andy ---

Hi Andy, Don’t get me wrong, I’m not thinking there’s much privacy left these days, but I really believe a company like Athom should alert their users on what data they are about to publish, when they request support for a device. Nothing more, nothing less. Because not everyone is a ‘techie’, and not everyone reads, or even understands a thing of what kind of data is shared here. Users always should be alerted, to _have a choice_ to anonymize (some of) their data, or not. Especially with all the fuzz about LG and privacy, I think it’s just very sloppy and careless of Athom. > [@Andy\_Henderson](#): > > The IP address belongs to British Telecom and is useless on its own Nice to hear, but my IP address points to _my modem/router_, I just don’t want the IP published along with my username and such. > [@Andy\_Henderson](#): > > to invalidate the relevant codes I’m afraid your Tuya `owner_id` f.i. doesn’t change by removing and re-adding devices. ---

Hi @Emile, I just want to forward this information about the Tuya internal scale factor to your devs. I don’t know who is responsible while @Doekse is in vacation. > [@Tuya has officially joined the “Talks With Homey” program](https://community.homey.app/t/tuya-has-officially-joined-the-talks-with-homey-program/106779/245): > > 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 > This is just because it was annoced to offer device settings for scale, but it’s already available in device details. Thanks for forwarding 🙂 ---

Hi Simon, You can add a Device request at: [https://github.com/athombv/com.tuya/issues/new?assignees=&labels=device+request&projects=&template=device-request.yml&title=%5BDevice+request%5D%3A+)](https://github.com/athombv/com.tuya/issues/new?assignees=&labels=device+request&projects=&template=device-request.yml&title=%5BDevice+request%5D%3A+) (all needed steps are explained in there), after making sure it has not been requested already by someone else.

That is good to hear. I now have a situation where a Tuya Wi-Fi temperature and humidity sensor is paired with my Smartlife and is functional. I can add the sensor in Homey23; it is recognised under “other” (since the temp sensor category is not shown), adds an icon, and tells me it is functional, but it does not give me the data ( temp and humidity). Not sure what to do now. ![Screenshot 2024-07-25 at 16.36.03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/7/272e947bfb339b76b390b965647f9dac68568dfa.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2024-07-25 at 16.30.35](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/8/38505ce76e06660b75e019034c52a93ca2dad0b3.png) ---

Just wait 'til it gets added to the Athom Tuya app [supported devices](https://github.com/athombv/com.tuya/issues/48), or just keep on using this Tuya Cloud app. ---

Hi @Emile Would it be possible to create When cards for the ‘other’ Tuya devices, whilst we wait for more device type support? It would seriously supercharge my experience with Homey Pro. ---

A bit of a different question. Do you plan to allow querying for Tuya device logs? I have a few ventilator devices that reports CO2 values, but it does not do that in the device status, but it does so in the device logs, go figure 😅 If I could periodically query device logs, I could then parse the ppm values and save them to a vitual device. ---

Might be available on insights once its a supported device type? I’ve been able to see the difference in lumens on sunny and cloudy days for my motion sensors using insights. Really useful as I can tell some lights to come on at more convenient times, not just when its near sunset. ---

@Doekse As mentioned earlier, I think the first thing that should be added are scenes. This way, all devices become compatible at once. And also the devices that will never be compatible with this app. What are your thoughts about that? This is the reason I still have installed the community Tuya app. ---

And also the devices that will never be compatible with this app. What are your thoughts about that? This is the reason I still have installed the community Tuya app. Agreed. I have several scenes that operate multiple Tuya devices simultaneously. I can replicate that by implementing several device operations in Homey but not, in my experience without delays between each operation. As it is, there is no perceived delay so, for example, my living room lights all come on at once. I would have thought implementing scenes would be a ‘quick win’ - although I’m prepared to be told it’s not as easy as I think.
