None of this allows me to send commands to other devices using a switch though 🤣 At the moment I can set rules for the switch and trigger the switch using a flow or a motion sensor, but I desperately need the switch itself to be the trigger and this isn’t possible until we get “other” when cards. Surely this is quite easy to do and MUCH quicker than adding new device types. ---

I tried to pose my question through the app but get in a cycle that let’s me choose what app i want support for, visit developpers site and back. I have tuya smart installed on my iphone and succesfully aithorized in homey but get in a cycle where if i add a device, other type, i have to authorize. In the end i get a message i am already authorized. Nowhere i get to see the devices setup in tuya smart. Currently i am using my tuya Zigbee radiator valves through some elaborate tuya developper subscription which i have to renew every 6 months and _was_ hoping an official app would be less complicated. ---

It’s not complicated, it just has some bug with the login system, which seems difficult to solve. It’s a bit odd Athom doesn’t respond at all to this issue. ---

Having the exact same problem. Unfortunately in my haste I removed the community Tuya app and closed my tuya developer account, was getting constant messages about things being deprecated and not being able to find and sort the replacement. I used it for one lightswitch. When Athom get this sorted it will be grand but for now I can’t make it work and there is no way to reach Athom support for this app ---

In the latest version it is possible to send commands to a not supported device. Is it also possible to receive info. Like relay status and power consumption. In the old tuya cloud app it was possible. ---

> [@Mathias\_Naert](#): > > In the old tuya cloud app There is no old app? 🤷‍♂️ The Tuya Cloud app is a fine working community app, but not actively maintained. The Athom Tuya app is just another Tuya (cloud) app, but a 1000% easier to setup​😉 It is not replacing the community app. In fact, they can run just fine side by side! . > [@Mathias\_Naert](#): > > Is it also possible to receive info. @Philip_Montgomery Atm this is only possible with the **Tuya Cloud** app → Look for “Raw Commands” in the dedicated Tuya Cloud app topic’s first post. . > [@Mathias\_Naert](#): > > it is possible to send commands to a not supported device @Philip_Montgomery As explained several times in this topic 😊 > [@\[APP\] Tuya - Connect any Tuya device with Homey (by Tuya Inc. / Athom)](https://community.homey.app/t/tuya-has-officially-joined-the-talks-with-homey-program/106779/273): > > No, only true for devices Homey can control.

I added Tuya app (V1.1.1) to Homey pro and connected 1 CH Wifi switch, which I previously added to my Smart Life Android app. I can see it in Homey, but can not control it or see it’s status. I added it as type “other”. There is no “switch” type option in adding Tuya devices and when I tried to add it as “plug”, it was not found (“no new devices found”). When I select this device in Homey, there is message “All Good. This device works fine but you can not control it.” Am I missing something? Regards, Brane ---

Hi, I have added 2 smart plugs and they show amps, voltage and power BUT no on/off switch. I can send the code “switch” via flows to turn it on or off, and that works fine, but the cards does not update and just shows it is ON all the time. Can someone point me in the right direction to fix this? I have already read through this topic and couldn’t find an answer. Thanks 🙂 ---
