Hey all! Feel free to test the Tuya app by installing it from the Homey App Store: [https://homey.app/a/com.tuya/test/](https://homey.app/a/com.tuya/test/) If you find any issues, please report those on GitHub: [GitHub - athombv/com.tuya: Tuya app for Homey](https://github.com/athombv/com.tuya) P.S. I’ve also added an ‘Other’ driver so you can send any Tuya code from a Flow. Hopefully this bridges the gap where some device type isn’t added to the app yet, but you’d still want to use it. ![Screenshot 2024-06-07 at 10.39.48](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/e/dea84bfe8a6333cf80451bb0c107809d8da8d375.png) Thank you all for your patience! \<3 ---

Sorry Emile, but it’s impossible to login with v0.3.0 … See [Git issue 11](https://github.com/athombv/com.tuya/issues/11) _Workaround_: CLI install v0.2.0 → logon → and then install v0.3.0 > [@Emile](#): > > P.S.

Great stuff! Really happy with this! Is Github also the place to add feedback like: “I am able to control the Action Battletron light in Homey now, but there is no brightness slider and as soon as I do something with the light, the brightness goes to 0%”? ---

I have a short question If I may. I have a Garage Door with a wireless sensor zigbee device screaming to be used, but I cannot added to the Tuya App because I need a Zigbee gateway, is there a work around to get this going with Homey Pro? ---

You can try the [Community Tuya Zigbee App](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.tuya.zigbee/Tuya-Zigbee/test/) in the Homey App Store for a direct connection over Zigbee 😉 ---

Thanks for the reply, but I have already done that and it doesn’t work, besides of also making contribution to GitHub and also supporting the author of the app with a small contribution, I had no luck at all. ---

Hi Peter, thanks for the pointers. been trying to replicate and get close, but not complete. After adding the virtual device I started on the flows and got the following warning, when trying to set the tuya device flow: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/9/59c0b74f1b01fd233da8b8d88173ab51e8e3017a.png) Any idea what I am doing wrong/missing? ---

Is the code selection list empty, Patrick? Sometimes you can ‘wake’ it by entering a whitespace followed by a backspace. What if you enter `percent_control` in the [code] field, and `50` in the [value] field. Does it work? Here you can find the codes and valid values for all kinds of devices: [https://developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/standarddescription?id=K9i5ql6waswzq](https://developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/standarddescription?id=K9i5ql6waswzq) ##### When you’ve opened this webpage: - scroll all the way down, to this part: > ![Screenshot_20240611-223253_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/7/b7fce02cf75a487221aceb401f3ee4e865b93d29.jpeg) - for Curtain devices, click on the topic “Small Home Appliances” - under “Documentation”, click on “Curtain” Now you should see the codes + valid values / value ranges for devices of the curtain type: > ![Screenshot_20240611-221856_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/b/0b8a09d330d7dda7eaaf343ecea1eab8a353fd7f.jpeg) Link: [https://developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/f?id=K9gf46o5mtfyc](https://developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/f?id=K9gf46o5mtfyc) ---

It was quite a hassle to get GitHub, Docker, Homey CLI and Tuya up and running but it worked. So I requested one new device (LSC panel heater), indicated that dimming is missing from the Action Battletron lights and some other bulbs were change white temperature all of a sudden. Only thing I need to figure out is how to prevent that the Tuya app is uninstalled from my Homey Pro after closing the CLI ---
